While I appreciate the comments about people being overly sensitive, I do think it is still true that we should avoid unnecessary clutter.
With that in mind, I would like to mention that I don't really like the big empty box approach. On my screen it looks like the banner is about 3.5 times the height of the text, and this feels rather excessive to me. It seems plausible to me that a bigger banner would have a higher click-through rate, though I don't know of any Wikipedia specific evidence to verify that. Even if that is true though, presumably one could have a smaller banner coupled to a longer campaign and accomplish the same effect as a big banner with a shorter campaign. Personally, I think it would feel less imposing and more friendly to have a smaller banner than ran longer. That's just my two cents. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
