In light of this recent conversation I found this quote to be of interest.
"Wikipedia readers tend not to be bothered by the fundraising messages they see on Wikipedia. Two-thirds (67%) say they don’t mind them, and a majority (55%) say they are not annoyed by these messages. Roughly equal shares of readers do (44%) and don’t (41%) pay attention to these messages, according to their self-reports."

Yes, I also thought that was interesting. To invert the presentation of the statistics, 33% of users did mind the banners and 45% were irritated by them. These are actually quite high numbers in my view.
(Not to say that the decision to proceed with these banners is wrong, which is a much more complicated topic, and full credit to the fundraising team for firstly conducting and secondly publishing this research).

Hi Chris-
A quick clarification on the invert numbers you mentioned. These results are on slide 27. Here they are:
"I don't mind when I see fundraising messages on Wikipedia." 67% agree, 20% disagree, 12% had no opinion
"I am not annoyed when I see fundraising messages on Wikipedia." 55% agree, 27% disagree, 18% had no opinion
Thank you, Lisa

Ah yes, I see - my fault for skim-reading the summary rather than paying attention to the tables. Thanks for pointing that out.
