Possibly region-specific? [[User:Lexicografía|Lexicografía]] 23:03, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
#:Answer: I can look it up in a book. Nice Idea like your other one above with rotating facts. Maybe add the "quickest" or the "easiest" way of looking up [rotating facts], just a suggestion but it works either way.[[User:Theo10011|Theo10011]] 05:45, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

#::: Oh I assumed from the treaty of Paris and motto of Argentina to be random possible facts one can look up in a book. Also, Mr. Obama is the president of US, I am sure his real name would also show up in a lot of books but I will give you Lady gaga:) But how would you feed the rotating facts that only relate to a selective category?

# I would click on a link to see the answer to the fact, if I knew it or not. So, I think the "fact" should also be a link to the donate page, but a version of the page with the answer at the top, if that is possible.

# The idea was to acknowledge the contribution of a benefactor, If mine doesn't work I think others should consider a banner to acknowledge the benefactors with a rotating list of public donations. something along the lines of "Your search was sponsored by ..." or "the answer to your question was sponsored by...." or "Wikipedia is made possible by a donation from....and you can do the same" I think its one approach thats should be covered and is sorely missing above, putting names to our supporters.[[User:Theo10011|Theo10011]] 18:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

# I strongly support it. When we featured donors' comments and names, we found here and there their warm reactions, not only with excitement but also appreciations. I'm sure it'll enhance a positive atmosphere which surrounds our fundraising campaign. I love it. --[[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]] 19:25, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

#Do we risk getting people concerned about privacy if we do this? I'm not sure I'd want my name on a banner, and even if it's possible to opt-out, it seems a little Orwellian to me. [[en:user:Buddy431]] as [[Special:Contributions/130.126.213.165|130.126.213.165]] 03:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::theres already a donor's comment page located below the messages page. There are logs and donor suggested messages for every year, I understand that some would want their contribution to be private but consider the impact of reading a message about someone from Johannesburg or Mumbai donating even a small sum of $5, I think it would definitely showcase the diversity and the reach of the projects and should get people on the sidelines to donate even a small amount which they wouldn't have otherwise. We would only use donors who have made their donations public and would not object to it. [[User:Theo10011|Theo10011]] 16:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
#Nice idea, as long as whatever system is used to do it is smart enough to filter out anonymous contributions: "Wikipedia is brought to you today [by] Anonymous" would be too much of a win for 4chan's ilk for my taste. :P [[User:Nihiltres|Nihiltres]]<sup>([[w:en:User talk:Nihiltres|t]].[[w:en:User:Nihiltres|u]])</sup> 23:22, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
#This is really great. Some suggestions: change to ''Name'' from ''Location'' eg John from Alaska. Also could be worded as "Wikipedia was brought to you today by" and "This page was paid for today by". [[User:Pretzels|Pretzels]] 20:09, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:Pretzels, that was the original idea, "x from ___location" and I would want it to be that. It would showcase the diversity of our supporter base, and hopefully encourage them not to hesitate donating even a small amount by telling that others have done the same.[[User:Theo10011|Theo10011]] 22:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
# I like it very much. How about merging it with [[#Every dollar donated]]?

[[File:Kitchener-Britons.jpg|thumb|Imagine it, Jimbo, with a bad 'tache]]
I can't be bothered to mock this up, but it's just an idea;
There is an incredibly famous poster of [[:en:Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener|Lord Kitchener]], from World War I, asking 'your country needs you'. Mr. Wales, pointing at us, telling us that "Wikipedia needs '''YOU'''" - with a big moustache...I think this would be a winner. It's been used as parody for all kinds of things; I believe that the problems of 'war' connotation are dated enough to be negligible; it's light, amusing, and eye-catching. Not necessarily as a banner; I appreciate pics might not work. Still, I thought the idea worth mentioning; forgive me if I am too far off-base. [[User:Chzz|Chzz]] 01:27, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
# First, this poster is not as famous as the [[:en:Uncle Sam|Uncle Sam]] one used for recruitment by the US army. Second, the concept itself seems cheesy and trite, it has been used very frequently in the american media historically. The "war" and the "big brother" connotations are too strong to consider this, it can draw a very vocal negative reaction from the community.[[User:Theo10011|Theo10011]] 16:24, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
::Fair enough about the US thing; that one is 'more famous' here, UK, for sure. But as the 'Uncle Sam' is so well-known in US, that helps, actually, surely? I understand the connotations thing, but really, I don't think that is a problem - I can't honestly see anyone taking offence. Or offense. And I mostly just want to see Jimbo with either a big floppy moustache or a goatee. [[User:Chzz|Chzz]] 02:47, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Based on the [[wmf:2010-2011 Annual Plan Questions and Answers|total operating budget]] of $20.4 million and 525,600 minutes in a year (the exact number is $38.81). Obviously the numbers are tweakable for different time/donation. [[User:Mr.Z-man|Mr.Z-man]] 02:51, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
# This is a neat fact, but it actually sounds kind of discouraging as phrased. $39 dollars is a lot of money, and 1 minute sounds small next to it. Maybe it can be rewritten to emphasize that 'all of Wikimedia' can be kept running for 'only' one $39 donation. Also, since $35 is the lowest preset option, maybe we could fudge it a little and use $35. Great that someone's donation could make them feel like the next Wikimedia/Wikipedia minute is funded by them. Which is not too shabby.

#: Love it. "Circle of Knowledge" if you want to consider another heading, I do agree with Ocassi above-'keep knowledge flowing' sounds more organic there. You might also want to consider adding 'repeat' as a stage at the end. [[User:Theo10011|Theo10011]] 17:36, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:Done and done. Circle of knowledge was what I was thinking. I think it could be snappier if we replace curiosity with something shorter, but I couldn't think of a better word. [[User:GoEThe|GoEThe]] 11:13, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::I replaced it with "wonder," which beat out "question". It flows much better with all verbs (although both of those suggestions can also be nouns, which is a little confusing at the beginning of the ad). There was also an extra period at the end of it, but I felt it work would better as an ellipses, continuing the theme of continuity.

#: Well, the [[Vision|vision statement]] is a bit long for a bumper sticker. I was trying to make it fit on one line for many typical display screens. Perhaps un-bolding instead would work better (bold catches the eye, but is harder to read). In general, using a headline font for the whole message makes it difficult to say more than fits in a headline. Is the vision statement is just too long and complex for an appeal to readers of, say, an encyclopedia? ~ [[User:Ningauble|Ningauble]] 13:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

# '''Why this will work!'''
:*1. The statement of "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" implies the undying need to gain knowledge - the tagline has been used as it was made irrefutably famous by Steve Jobs in his Stanford Convocation address in 2005. The reason Steve Jobs is being used here is to position Wikipedia both implicitly and explicitly as being a global community having an iconic/cult backing of users (rather than simply implying the backing of editors) akin to the iconic status of Jobs in the 'users' of his products.
:*2. The statement "Stay Free" brings together the philosophies of attempting to be ad-free, at the same time emphasizing the point that Wikipedia propagates the emphatic "free" flow of information, than one which is sponsored or ad-driven!
:*3. At the same time, the power of the "Stay Free!" tagline allows the users to empathise with Wikipedia, considering the project their own (notice the difference from writing "Keep Wikipedia free" to writing "Stay Free". In other words, let us - you, me and Wikipedia - stay free). The term "Stay Free" also has a revolutionary touch to it, promoting a 'cause' that our users would want to contribute to. In the sense that the term "Stay Free" also provides pointers to readers on how they should lead their lives - uncontrolled by external monies/lobbies. Quite motivating, I should say immodestly, as the philosophies of freedom and independence being promoted by the 'Stay Free' tagline immediately stamp a patriotic fervor to the movement - the movement that is Wikipedia!
:*4. Shrewdly, the point of growth has been left out. That is, nowhere is it written that "donate to ensure Wikipedia becomes the world's largest encyclopedia" or anything similar to that. The conjecture has deliberately been restricted to, "Let's keep 'our' project free for independent/free usage of information."
:*5. But the most important part is the absence of any agenda (except the agenda of keeping it free and donating money). There is no agenda that is evident or perceivable (for example, it is not written that keep Wikipedia free and ensure children of tomorrow become more literate; or similar propositions).
:*6. "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Stay Free" is a direct, flat, gimmick-free message that donors would understand. There're no bright coloured neon-lit characters; there're no complicated conjectures being propagated. One message; one behavior expected.
:*7. It's my lucky number. So! :) [[User:Wifione|♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪]] 14:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

#My concern about this haiku, and the two above, is that it's not immediately obvious it's poetry (no rhyme, rhythm takes a bit to figure out), so the reader may be left wondering why the lines/punctuation are broken up so oddly. Also, the wording seems a bit ... awkward. I really like the concept, but I'm wondering if it's the most effective appeal.

#I like the idea. Maybe change "greatest" to "largest" for accuracy? While Wikipedia is first in terms of amount of information, using "greatest" could be understood to mean it's also the best in terms of ''quality'', which is only an opinion, as opposed to statistical fact. That, and I'm unsure the logo is absolutely necessary ... but good ideas.

# "One world" was placed first because it sounded better and the world is more important than Wikipedia even though this is a fundraiser. '''''Simple variations:''''' add to the front the following words to all lines: "Just" ("Just one world," etc.), "Our," ("Our world," etc.), "Your," ("Your world," etc.); the words "helps to bring" or "helping in bringing" could also be used ("helps bring" is not grammatically correct), but that sounds too wordy compared to the first two lines, and I did not like the sound of it anyway. — [[User:CobraWiki|CobraWiki]] <sup>([[User talk:CobraWiki| <font color="darkgreen">jabber</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/CobraWiki|<font color="blue">stuff </font>]])</sup> 01:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
