I read it again. And yep, it still annoyingly uses the word "Wiki" as if it were the proper name of Wikipedia. I know you don't intend it this way, but that is insulting to the other wikis in the Wikimedia family, not to mention all the other wikis on the Internet.
I did not believe for a moment that your exact wording or length of your message would be used, and in fact agree with your overall message and have helped address your concerns. The improper use of the "Wiki", however, is just a major pet peeve of mine (hence my statement about bad chalk on a blackboard - it is oftentimes painful to read your messages because of this).

It seems when I log on there is still the same donation text:
"We are trying to make Wikipedia faster and more responsive. You can help by making a donation. "
There seemed to be general consensus that it should be changed with some suggestions from me from keeping it from appearing like an outright solicitation.
Is there a final proposal?
