It will make it look like we're running a fund drive all the time, and so will kill the proper drives. Suicide. Dan100 (Talk) 10:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

  • PBS always has a "thank you for your continued donations"-type message inbetween their shows, and it doesn't kill their fundraisers. — 0918BRIAN • 2005-12-29 17:45
  • How about we make the permanent message more PBS-like? "Wikipedia is made possible by the continued donations of readers like you. Thank you." or something equally borderline-hokey? — 0918BRIAN • 2005-12-29 17:53

While I don't like the current design, I do think we will need to have a more prominent message all the time. Not annoying like a fund drive notice, but not nearly invisible like the current donations link in the sidebar. --mav 17:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Or possibly, "Thank you for your continued donations to Wikipedia." — 0918BRIAN • 2005-12-31 20:01

Bottom?

How about putting it at the bottom. Broken S 16:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Where all the important stuff goes? :) — 0918BRIAN • 2005-12-29 17:46
    • Exactly. Or how about on the sidebar? Oh, wait... it's already there. Broken S 08:57, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
