That discussion is flabbergasting. All this talk of it being 'sprung' on
them; I remember the fundraiser being announced ages ago. God, how typical
of people to ignore announcements and then complain when the change occurs.
Especially when they should be grateful that they have wikipedia at all, let
alone have to 'put up with' one image at the top of the screen.
