Dear community members,
I would like to follow up on my previous email
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/GZUDL5XLPISPIYNHFRDXD36JCDCQD6QU/>
to you all and give you some more details about the upcoming Wikimedia
Foundation fundraising campaign in India.
The fundraising campaign will have two components.
1.
We will send emails to people who have previously donated from India
2.
We will run banners for readers in India on Wikipedia itself.
The emails are scheduled to be sent between the 24th of May and the 23rd of
June. We are currently finalizing the different message versions. Samples
will be shared later.
The banners will be active on Wikipedia in India from the 31st of May until
the 28th of June. Prior to this, we are planning to run some tests in April
and May, so you might see banners for 3-5 hours a couple of times before
the campaign starts. This activity will ensure that our technical
infrastructure works. We are currently working on the messages for the
banners and again, I will share examples with you later.
I have created a meta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/India2022campaign> for the
communities to use and leave feedback, suggestions, and questions. Please
feel free to share this widely and encourage anyone who is interested to
engage there or via email with me directly.
Generally, before and during the campaign, you can contact us:
-
On the talk page of the India campaign meta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising/India2022campaign> or
the talk page of the fundraising team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising>
-
If you need to report a bug or technical issue, please create a
phabricator ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?template=118862>
-
If you see a donor on a talk page, VRT
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Volunteer_Response_Team> or
social media having difficulties in donating, please refer them to

Thanks you and regards,
