Hello,
The video is indeed nice, although I could imagine that many
Wikipedians are less appealed, like in 2007 about the video of that

I assume that by 'normal' you mean 'common', and by 'needing money' you
mean 'asking for money'? Otherwise it would lead to an entirely

I'm seeing a significant number of OTRS tickets along the lines of:
I was looking at Wikipedia and a big orange banner popped up
asking for donation> Is this for real, or is it a scam?
