Hello all, So, in a very official fashion, let me announce that the fundrive is over. The last day of our Fundraising was planned to be on Wikipedia Day (1). Which was yesterday. Wikipedia is now starting its 7 year of existence.

Fundraising is over now. Now the time of expressing gratitude has come instead of plea and begging. For now a small modification will be okay ... in the first line previous: You can give the gift of knowledge by donating to the Wikimedia Foundation! now: [[Wikimedia:Wikimedia thanks all contributors|Thank you]] to all those who donated from the [[Wikimedia thanks all contributors|Wikimedia Foundation]]! Thank you for your cooperations, -- KIZU Naoko Wikiquote: http://wikiquote.org * habent enim emolumentum in labore suo *

Heh. Yes tricky ... perhaps Brion (he made it) didn't want to place two links too much nearer ... [[xx|WMF]] [[xxx|thanks]] blah blah blah. I agree the current placement is well-balanced. And "Thank you to the Foundation" is doublly wrong since 1) it is recursive and make no sense here and 2) even if so, it would be better replaced with "for" .. On the other hand, it could be confused specially non-native Speakers. If your language syntax allows, you can freely translate it. In the Japanese version (SOV), we can say "Wikimedia / all of you..../ thanks" so we neatly avoided "from/to" problem ;p -- KIZU Naoko Wikiquote: http://wikiquote.org * habent enim emolumentum in labore suo *
