Dear community members, I wanted to follow up on my earlier email and give you some more details. As mentioned in my previous email the fundraising banners will be shown on Wikipedia in South Africa from the 23rd of May to the 20th of June. You can now find examples of the banners that will be shown on our meta page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising#Current_fundraising_activities> (all our campaigns are listed there so please find the lines that show the South African campaign and banner examples).
Please feel free to share this information widely within your communities and encourage anyone who is interested to engage on the fundraising talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising> or via email with me directly. Generally, before and during the campaign, you can contact us: - On the talk page of the fundraising team <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising> - If you need to report a bug or technical issue, please create a phabricator ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?template=118862> - If you see a donor on a talk page, VRT <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Volunteer_Response_Team> or social media having difficulties in donating, please refer them to donate[image: @]wikimedia.org Thanks you and regards, Julia On Thu, Mar 31, 2022 at 10:22 AM Julia Brungs <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear community members, > > My name is Julia and I work for the Wikimedia Foundation's Advancement > team.
