I have been a Wikipedian for five years. I am an administrator, I have written tens of articles, created hundreds of pictures, and made tens of thousands of edits. I love Wikipedia and all that it represents.
I find the current "WIKIPEDIA FOREVER" banner to be creepy. I don't have good words to express it, but it does not feel the right way of soliciting donations.
I would call upon the Wikipedians responsible for the banner to give it a deep thought about what message they want to convey to the millions of visitors to the site. Thank you.
