Can the Foundation give an explanation as to why they went on with putting
up that banner despite strong opposition from many people? That banner is
totally horrible and I really wonder if it even was a Wikipedia editor who
proposed it with all those capital letters.

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.
