Hi everyone -
It's a trade off between doing things that might annoy some people in the banners vs. reducing the number of days we need to run banners at all. It's hard to find the right balance.
This banner isn't just annoying, it is untrue. You can make a tax deductible donation tomorrow just as easily as you can make it today. It will get deducted off next year's taxes, not this year's, but unless you are trying to reduce your tax bill to zero that makes absolutely no difference.
I'm not familiar with USA deducibility (the WMF legal department doesn't give advice either ;) https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Deductibility_of_donations ), so could you explain this point? Aren't there annual limits to deductible amounts? Thanks, Nemo
