The WMF's conclusions about what banners work best are based on extensive testing. What are yours based on?
My guts.
BTW How have those tests worked out? You know the ones that went on for months before the fundraiser to replace Jimmy.
There were numerous non-Jimmy banners used during the fundraiser because they were tested and proved to work well. The Jimmy banners were used extensively too because they still perform very well in the tests, particularly when improved using the lessons learnt from the other banners that were tested.
In future, I suggest you pay more attention rather than asking such ill-informed questions. I wasn't involved in the tests - everything I've said in this email came from the reports the fundraising team published before and during the fundraiser. If you had bothered to read them, you wouldn't have had to ask. They are all on meta - I suggest you go and read them.
