What would you think of swapping the write-up on the WMF financial report and fundraising plans from News and Notes to News from the WMF, and then putting the report on the RFC in News and Notes? It might make more sense. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 04:47, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Adam Cuerden Usually "News from the WMF" contains unedited WMF blog posts, while "News and Notes" is for WMF-related news written by Signpost staff.
 * I do agree it might make sense to have both items on the same page, in which case your piece should be the lead story and carry the headline, with the financial reports following. In other words, we'd have them both on "News and Notes". Alternatively, you could run yours as a "Special report" and just include a pointer to "News and Notes" for the financials. I think either of those would work. What do you think? Andreas JN 466 09:28, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Think either works. Do you have a preference? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 14:31, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Adam Cuerden I'd say, unless and until the RfC report turns into a lengthy piece, let's just slot it in at the top of News and notes. Thanks! Andreas JN 466 15:42, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Template:WikiDonation
Hi, checking back through the fundraising banner RfC, I saw this comment and hence this edit to a standard template. I don't think that this edit was appropriate, given that it is linking to external webpages, which are basically opinion pages that you wrote. It borders on self promotion, and/or spam of external links, and it wasn't really discussed on the talk page. Would you consider undoing this edit? Thanks.

 * I proposed adding those links on the talk page first, stating explicitly that "Hacker News post and Dot article were both written by mself." User:Shushugah, the creator of the template, said "These links/articles seem like a good idea for further reading. ... Feel free to directly edit the template or make specific suggestions. In general, I see this less as opening a large discussion and more minimizing the amount of time I/other editors take to quickly respond to angry/confused visitors." and their edit summary was "Thanks for this!". I made the edit and noted I had done so on the talk page. Nobody visiting the template's talk page could have been unaware of it.
 * This said, following the just concluded Village Pump RfC, which judged fundraising banners like those run last December "an unethical and inappropriate use of this project", and the efforts now underway at Fundraising/2022_banners to come up with ethical fundraising banners for this year's campaign, I would hope there will be no need for a template with this precise content this December. I would encourage you to discuss this further with Shushugah and other Teahouse editors. Regards, --Andreas JN 466 23:27, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, I've suggested this at Template talk:WikiDonation. The outdated text issue given the last few weeks discussions is also a good point. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:25, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
