Hello,
I want to point out a question about the "Thanks to all contributors" page,
since it reports 2006 data instead of the latest fundraising data.
Yesterday I was asked by Casey (Cbrown) to translate this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF/Wikimedia_thanks_al…
The translation on meta was requested by Aphaia, who copied this page:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_thanks_all_contributors
created by Eloquence.
Just to clarify. ;-) Someone had translated it a while ago and it had
not been copyedited so wasn't published. I did not want their work to
go to waste, so I asked you to copyedit to make sure it was okay for
publishing.
Now, if you read that page you'll notice that the
data comes from the 2006
fundraising, and seems to be no information about the last fundraiser.
So, I don't think that keeping such a page would be a good thing because now
that page is actually misleading.
The page says that it is for 2006-07 fundraiser, so it's not too misleading. :-)
So, what to do?
I think that a new thanks page should be created, but I don't know who should
care about that.
I agree. I think the Communications committee or Communications
Manager will probably be the one to write that up, because it's
something along the lines of a "press release".
Best regards,
Massimiliano
