I think that is an excellent idea. It would also build readership. So as
long as we have the image issue dealt with I would be happy to see the
banner go out to everyone.

Hi all,
I'm curious what folks here think about making some noise about the
two most recent additions to the Wikimedia family around January or
February. Wikivoyage is still finishing up the beta phase (image
transfers, logo import etc.) this month, and Wikidata isn't live as a
repository yet -- but we could set a target date that would work for
both projects.
What I'm imagining is an actual banner on Wikimedia projects
announcing the launch of both Wikivoyage and Wikidata, pointing to a
landing page explaining what these projects are, how to participate,
etc. That page could be drafted on Meta. Then interested folks would
visit the projects to learn more and get involved.
Wikimedia projects obviously have an enormous reach and I think this
could help create awareness and build community -- but it could also
be an unwelcome influx in the early stages. This could be regulated by
running a banner only for logged in users, or x% of readers.
Thoughts?
Erik
