Thanks, but I do know how to log in at Wikipedia, its about 15 years since
I started editing.
This is a complaint about multiple banners on the same page.

Hi John, thank you for the feedback.
The banners you see are continually changing, as we refine our designs
based on feedback and efficacy. Donation banners are inherently disruptive,
on any site. We try to minimize the annoyance whilst also maximizing the
effectiveness in order to show as few banners as possible. It's a difficult
balance, and feedback like yours, and the emails and comments we get from
readers, help us out over time.
If you don’t want to see fundraising banners, there are a few options: You
can login to Wikipedia, or click the "close" button in a banner, or visit
our donor thank you page.[1]
If you're browsing in a private-window, this means the browser cannot
remember (save in a cookie) that you clicked "close" or saw the banner
already, hence you might be seeing more banners than most readers would.
Thanks again,
Nick

Often I surf Wikipedia without being logged in,
and so I did right now. I
got the usual banners, but this time they popped up repeatedly in several
locations. This quickly gets extremely annoying, and I find it unwise.
Create one banner, and stick with that. Several banners are simply way
over
the top.
