This is really impressive - such a rise in donations just because of a clear
and personal approach! Can't we make more like this, personal testimonials
and calls by Wikimedians but also non-Wikimedians sympathizing with us?

Aside from concerns about loudness and size in the
banner, the message
itself has been very successful:

PS. At screen widths that are not all that small, it appears the
"collapse" button is forcing the "Please Read:" unit down a line so
the last line is hanging outside the box.

Looks like the new appeal is working well.

I assume most of you at least occasionally read
one of the Wikimedia
websites so probably saw this in a sitenotice, but I thought it was a
very well done appeal, concisely highlighting exactly what we do, why
it's different than what most people do, and why we're worth donating
to, so worth pointing out:

Worriers about the perennial suggestions to put advertising somewhere on
the site(s) might also like what appears to be the closest to a no-ads
pledge I've seen so far: "Like a national park or a school, we don't
believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia".
