Let me know if the banner is working for you? Just load a random page a few times, like I said it should come up about 1/3 of the time.

It should be live now or in a few minutes. The banner will show in Washington and Oregon, and display on ~1/3 of loaded pages.

Thanks, can you create and Eventbrite or other off-wiki page where non-editors can register? Since this would be on a banner visible

Also, I think maybe if you could put in more of an introductory

that could help explain what the Cascadia Wikimedians and Wikipedia
Day
are
