I agree with Sandy's comments.
I have been worried if we have a huge media blitz the experienced editors we
have may be overwhelmed with a massive number of edits that don't meet
policy and it might be hard to keep up.
So I agree with Sandy's recommendation of a two stage process, at least for
Wikivoyage.

as long as we have the image issue dealt with I would be happy to see
the banner go out to everyone.
I'm inclined to think it should be a two-stage process. Let logged in users
on any WMF wiki know as soon as possible, so that we get experienced editors
quickly. Then later do a general announcement.
What about non-English language versions that are not up here yet? WT has
more versions than we do yet, including some important languages like
Portuguese with > 1000 articles. Could editors from Portuguese WP help with
getting WV up in that language? if so, we should let them know asap.
