Re: [Wikimedia-GH] Wikimedia-GH Digest, Vol 38, Issue 7 - Wikimedia-GH

16 Jul 2015

Hi Enock,

Thanks for confirming what you have experienced. One more question: which
browser did you use? Note that some proxi browsers like Opera sometimes
don't zero-rated Wikipedia. In case you have used Opera, please try another
browser like Chrome, Safari, etc.

GH Wikimedians: As Enock noted, your help on testing the service will be
appreciated. If you can, please test Wikipedia Zero on m.wikipedia.org and
let us know if you see the "Free Wikipedia" banner and/or you are being
charged.

Thanks again,
Adele

 Thanks, Asaf for sending this thread directly to us.

 Hi Enock,

 Thank you for flagging the issues described below. For future reference,
 feel free to add me directly when you need my attention and/or reply.
 As far as I understand, you - Enock - used WP through MTN and was charged.
 On top of that, no free WP banners were displayed both on the desktop
 version and mobile version. Is that correct? If that is the case, we will
 have to investigate with MTN.
 Please note that we don't show "Free Wikipedia" banners on the desktop
 version as part of the Wikipedia Zero program. Only the mobile site
 displays banners so it's expected that you won't see the WP Zero banner
 when using WP's desktop version.
 Please confirm if you were using m.wikipedia.org (mobile site) when the
 banners flashed and didn't display correctly. That is not an expected
 behavior and if confirmed, we will follow up internally and also with MTN.

 Dan Foy, our technical partner manager, is on vacation this week. We will
 have to wait for him to come back to the office next week to properly
 follow up on this.

 Enock - I will be awaiting for your reply on the questions above. It will
 be really helpful to better understand your experience.

 Rexford and others - If you would like to volunteer to test the service,
 please make sure you are using the mobile version of Wikipedia (
 m.wikipedia.org). Please pay special attention to the banner behavior and
 data charges.

 Best,
 Adele
