You should definitely pick a random Wikimedian and give them a high falutin message akin to the one in Jimmy's appeal and see how it stacks up. Chances are it's going to work very well. After all, people don't know who Jimmy Wales is, and yet his appeal causes them to donate. That boils it down to the personal nature of the appeal and the content of the message. If this turns out to be correct you should, pronto, start making LOTS of these. - Brian _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
