I think it would be slightly better if the donation page quote that appears on the hover didn't say "When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners,": having that phrase in the banner itself sounded pretty discordant to me, at least (could just drop the word 'banner' and leave it at 'advertising'?). Anyway, yes, the other non-hover ones were less annoying, especially the ones that were all facts and no fundraising letter phrases. All that said: hooray for our fundraising team, for running one of the best fundraisers yet and in general, for making what might be the most complex and effective website fundraiser ever look easy. :) Thanks! -- phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
