What about "This Monday is your last chance to... (whatever)" ?2013/9/28 Karthik Nadar <karthikndr@wikimedia.in>
Hiya,as the contest ends, can we change the CentralNotice banner saying something like this: "Wiki Loves Monuments contest ends tomorrow/the day after. Photograph a monument, help Wikipedia and win."This is just to alert that the contest is ending soon, and so that most people will hurry up!Regards,
Karthik Nadar.Secretary, Wikimedia India Chapter.

Ok, it may not have much effect, but is there any harm in trying?On 20 September 2013 18:32, Maarten Dammers <maarten@mdammers.nl> wrote:
Hi Maarten
Op 20-9-2013 10:59, Maarten Deneckere schreef:+1 to that. The central notice banner should be part of a broader campaign to promote Wiki Loves Monuments. Last couple of years we also had articles in magazines, etc. Bit too late for that now I guess...
I don't think we will gain that much new contributors using a more prominent sitenotice. Most people just ignore it. Just ask friends and family, do they read that message?
I organised WLM both in Belgium and South Africa, and I have far better experiences attracting people with a personal approach, eg. real life WLM events, our mailing list, Facebook groups.
