the fundraiser that anyone can edit .

Proposed by: ragesoss. On scope? n/d. Tested? n/d. Income: n/d. Discarded: n/d.


The landing page for this should describe how the fundraiser messages were created by volunteers and how they can be a part of that, and there should be an input form for people to add their own fundraising messages, which could be dumped into a spreadsheet. (We probably don't want to send a huge flood of people here.)--Ragesoss 00:01, 3 September 2010 (UTC) [reply ]

Here's some explanatory text for the landing page:

the fundraiser that anyone can edit
Just like Wikipedia itself, the messages for this fundaiser are written by volunteers. Your support helps bring Wikipedia and its sister sites to 380,000,000 people per month, in more than 260 languages. And if you have a great message idea, you can edit this fundraiser!
Please donate.

  1. Love this message. It's like a language vocab. lesson + cultural appreciation all rolled up in a banner. Megan Hernandez (WMF)

  3. great idea --Jan eissfeldt 22:34, 2 September 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
  4. This would be great for Wiktionary, especially if the X linked to the word's entry. --Yair rand 22:40, 2 September 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
    • While I like what you're saying, Yair rand, I worry that linking people to anything but the donation form from the banners will result in potential drop-off prior to hitting the donation pages. Philippe (WMF) 18:39, 4 September 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
  5. I heart this. Philippe (WMF) 22:40, 3 September 2010 (UTC) [reply ]



Americans spend 200 billion hours a year watching TV for 60ドル a month. It took 100 million hours to create Wikipedia. Did you consider donating 0ドル.36 yet ?

  1. I'm not sure if this is gonna work, but i like the idea of illustrating this concept in some way. The 60 bucks is totally made up, but the other nubmers are from http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/cognitive-surplus-visualized/ 86.83.8.231 20:45, 4 September 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
