Setting up this is entirely possible, and something any admin on Meta-Wiki
can do (e.g. me ;-) ). Banners can be shown for people with Ghanaian IPs
only, you can read a bit more about the system (called CentralNotice) here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice
What would be nice would be a page somewhere (perhaps Meta) about how and
why people should contribute, that the banner can point to. I think that
would be better than a banner just saying "contribute", but with no more
information. I don't think there have been any campaigns like this (to get
people to contribute to Wikipedia in general) though, so it *might* need a
wider discussion in the Meta community. But I think it is a good idea, for
what it's worth.

To take the, imo, most prominent and easy to reach
example, Projects are
displayed, eg wiki loves monuments in September. This might be geolocalized
to a Ghana page or site.
And if it is designed with a little care it might bring editors and
photographers.
The rest of the year is blocked by the fundraiser.

Hello,
For me, I know that there are at times banners display on homepages of
wikimedia projects website like wikipedia. Some of these banners actually
inform about upcoming events or ongoing project.
I will like to ask how those banners are put there. Is that
banner-display opportunity open to all or its restricted?
I ask because, I think a banner display on all article requests to
Wikipedia from Ghana (and Ghana only) directing attention to the ongoing
planning of the Wikimedia Ghana will really be worth-the-while.
I know many Ghanaians research on Wikipedia. However, majority of them
never know of any ways whatsoever to contribute. Such a banner display will
really improve traffic to the Wikimedia Ghana meta site and at least more
awareness will be created.
Jon and Rupert, any ideas?
Thanks.
