1. Make sure "Suppress display of the fundraiser banner" in your preferences (it's under gadgets) is NOT checked. 2. Set your browser to "Private Browsing" or "Incognito" of "Stealth" mode (whichever term your browser uses; this it to bypass any cookies that may prevent the display of the banner). 3. Go to the English Wikipedia main page: you should then see the banner at the top of your screen, with a link enabling you to do the survey.

One more thing, I think having a direct link to the survey will be better. Besides, I can't see it, and I'm yearning to take it. Please, share a direct link to the survey with me so I can take it as soon as possible. thanks rexford On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, Nkansah Rexford wrote: version.

Hello Andreas I think I've done your suggestions. 1) I have the "Suppress display of the fundraiser banner" already unchecked. I verified, and ensured its not checked, at least twice. 2) I set my browser to "Incognito" Mode. I use Chrome most recent version. 3) I went to the en.wikipedia.org (English Wikipedia) and the banner isn't showing. I can't tell where the problem is from now. But for a survey that's optional to take, should it be that hard and cumbersome to access? Assuming your troubleshoot tips worked, will everyone (especially, the wikipedia newbies) have to go through that process just to see a survey? I wished i could add screenshots to proof it isn't showing, but thought of this as a mailing list. But in all, its not working Suggestion: 1) Please, if anyone has access, should verify to see if the banner is allowed to show in the geographical location I'm in, Ghana. I know some banners can be configured to show in certain parts of the world based on IP preferences. Since Ghana wasn't listed even among the countries initially, I won't be surprised if Ghana isn't part of the survey (Don't know how I came across it for the first time though). thanks rexford On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, Andreas Kolbe wrote: mode at out, -- +Nyarko Rexford <https://plus.google.com/u/0/107174506890941499078> _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l

Thanks. Its unfortunate how Wikipedia is treating me like this. I'll keep trying to see when Wikipedia feels satisfied and releases the link to my screen. i hope that happens before the survey period end.

Can the survey be displayed as a regular watchlist notice so that we see it until we complete or dismiss it? The difficulty of finding it means a lot of editors may not fill it in, so the results will not be representative. For example, I'd like to know how many women are out there editing, and this is one way to reach them. But only if they see it. Also, if you manage to find it once, but don't want to complete it in one sitting and you lose it from the screen, how do you find it again?

On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 6:17 PM, Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford@gmail.com<javascript:;> came listed. the not I was advised to remove the thing in my preferences that blocks the fundraising banners (which thousands of editors have checked), and then do a few other things -- I forget what they were -- and it still didn't show. But then a few hours later I clicked on a diff on my watchlist and the link appeared at the top of the page. I filled most of it in, took a break, then I lost it and couldn't find it again. I'm concerned that there are thousands of editors who won't even realize the survey exists. _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org <javascript:;> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
