These are things the
foundation couldn't control even if it wanted to. And surely the
English language Wikipedia generates the most revenue.
Well, a statistician would probably consider that it would be hard to
drive honest conclusions on this, given that there is a huge bias.
Examples
* the fundraising sitenotice is only on the english wikipedia. Not in
any other languages, that does not help to get revenue through another
language indeed or another project indeed...
* our fundraising is largely meant for an english-speaking audience, not
for any other one. The press release is exclusively in english (so it
will not be sent to any other media than english ones). The video of
Jimmy is in english. The general strategy fits well with a process to be
used in the USA, far less in other countries
* the tax deduction is only available in the USA. Not anywhere else.
* the central figure of our fundraising is Jimmy, an american person.
Now, imagine that we would do just the same, but all in chinese. We
would display a fundraising link only on the chinese wikipedia. With
chinese-based text press release, chinese caracters on the donation
page, deductibility in HongKong, Taipei and Mainland China etc...
I expect most funds would actually be generated thanks to the chinese
wikipedia :-)
Sounds good. I'd certainly appreciate getting rid of the fundraising
link from the english wikipedia, anyway.
