about a week away from the anniversary, and there more
than 275 events listed on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ten.wikipedia.org">ten.wikipedia.org</a>.
Whether you're an informal meet-up of a dozen people or a
conference for hundreds led by a chapter, we're going to
use this week to run CentralNotice banners on Wikimedia
sites to remind readers of the anniversary and promote
your activities. (I'm going to repeat the following
details on the tenwiki Village Pump if you prefer to read
it there.)</span></div>

currently running a banner on English Wikipedia that links
directly to tenwiki and is awaiting further translation.
(We will also be translating the Main Page of tenwiki
further. Let me know if you want to help with both those
translation projects.) The priority here is threefold: </span></div>

auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">1. Educate
people about the 10th anniversary in general.</span></div>
<div id="magicdomid230" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><span class="author-g-b2hrtf9ivoqtw4bw" style="cursor:
auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">2. Link to a
comprehensive list of online and offline events so that
people can choose the event that interests them.</span></div>
<div id="magicdomid231" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><span class="author-g-b2hrtf9ivoqtw4bw" style="cursor:
auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">3. Show
people the enormously diverse number of things our
movement is doing to celebrate.</span></div>
<div id="magicdomid232" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:

</div>
<div id="magicdomid247" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><span class="author-g-b2hrtf9ivoqtw4bw" style="cursor:
auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">Considering
that we're only running the 10th anniversary messages for
a week, we did not plan for a large number of different
banner designs. However, if you're an organizing group
that would like to run your own banner design or directly
link to your event in your country, that is definitely
welcome contingent on a few basic requirements:</span></div>
<div id="magicdomid234" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><br>
</div>
<div id="magicdomid261" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><span class="author-g-b2hrtf9ivoqtw4bw" style="cursor:
auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">1. Just to
state the obvious, the banner needs to be localized fully
and will only run for visitors in your country who are on
the wiki the banner is localized for.</span></div>
<div id="magicdomid236" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><span class="author-g-b2hrtf9ivoqtw4bw" style="cursor:
auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">2. The
banner will need to mention both the 10th anniversary
(remember, most people have no idea it's happening) and
that there are events to join. A banner that merely
mentions a single party or other kind of event without
context would fail to do justice to the anniversary and
the other volunteers who have worked hard to make it
memorable.</span></div>
<div id="magicdomid237" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><span class="author-g-b2hrtf9ivoqtw4bw" style="cursor:
auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">3. The
banner can link to your event's <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ten.wikipedia.org">ten.wikipedia.org</a>
page or a landing page elsewhere. To link directly to a
page off tenwiki, that page needs to clearly mention and
link back to the other events on tenwiki (so that people
don't end up at a dead end if they don't find what they're
looking for). If there are multiple events happening in
your country, then whatever page the banner links needs to
mention all of them. </span></div>
<div id="magicdomid317" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:
1px;"><span class="author-g-b2hrtf9ivoqtw4bw" style="cursor:
auto; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;">4. You need
to submit this banner directly to me so that we don't miss
any submissions. If you want to put it on-wiki first and
simply link to it in your email, that's great. </span></div>
<div id="magicdomid239" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:

<div id="magicdomid240" class="ace-line" style="padding-right:

still with me here, thanks for reading, and thanks for
everything you're doing to make the 10th anniversary
great. If you have questions, please let me know. </span></div>
