As for the fundraiser's duration, I believe the
2014 fundraiser ran for 30
days (December 2 to December 31, 2014).
That's certainly incorrect.
https://frdata.wikimedia.org/
campaign-vs-amount.csv shows about 200 campaigns started in 2014,
excluding sidebar and other "regular" stuff. A campaign can contain
hundreds of banners. Some campaigns lasted few hours, most of them several
days or weeks.
I am aware of that. I meant the December fundraiser during which the
banners were shown continuously to all Wikipedia readers.
Because according
tohttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2013 –
"In 2012, we were able to shorten the fundraiser down to nine full days,
the shortest fundraiser we've had."
As noted in
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising_2012/Report
, those numbers are meaningless comparisons. We've been waiting for the
number of impressions (at a minimum) for 20 months now.
It's the same with the editor survey data:

Literally years have passed, but the answer is always either silence, or
"The data is not yet ready."
The Foundation talks the transparency talk, but walking the walk seems a
different matter.
Pictures of puppies[1] are no substitute.
