Thomas,
We had no involvement in this, and I'm not aware that we were even told about it in the first place. What do WMUK members (ie people on this email list) think of the banner?

I just loaded a Wikipedia article and rather than a fundraising banner, I saw a banner asking me to participate in a research project (a fairly standard game theory type experiment involving how to share money between yourself and other participants). It was made clear that the banner was approved by the WMF and the Wikimedia Research Committee. I'm wondering what involvement Wikimedia UK had in deciding to put this banner up. I notice I was given an option to donate my "earnings" to the WMF (or the International Red Cross), but not WMUK (I chose to keep mine for myself and will pass them on the WMUK once they arrive in my paypal account).
