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: <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice</a><br>
<br>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 &quot;contribute&quot;, but with no more information. I don&#39;t think there have been any campaigns like this (to get people to contribute to Wikipedia in general) though, so it <i>might</i> need a wider discussion in the Meta community. But I think it is a good idea, for what it&#39;s worth.<br>

<p>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.</p>
<p>And if it is designed with a little care it might bring editors and photographers.</p>
<p>The rest of the year is blocked by the fundraiser.</p>

    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    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. <br>
    <br>
    I will like to ask how those banners are put there. Is that
    banner-display opportunity open to all or its restricted?<br>
    <br>
    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. <br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    Jon and Rupert, any ideas?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks.<br>
