•  Support The competition is now in its seventh year. The banner is very important because most photographers learn about the competition through it. JukoFF (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support The banner is very important so the most photographers will learn about the competition through it. Just 28 March 2022
•  Support The banner will draw attention to the competition. --HalanTul (talk) 02:57, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
•  Strong support Certainly! An international competition that has been held annually since 2015. Thanks to the competitions, tens of thousands of unique photographs illustrate Wikipedia articles.--Ctac (talk) 08:51, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
•  Oppose This competition is organized together with the "Nauka" TV channel, an offspring of VGTRK, the Russian state-owned broadcaster that has played pivotal role in advocating the ongoing military campaign in Ukraine. It's not the right time to advertise such a partner using the Central Notice. --Alexander (talk) 15:41, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support I think this is the most important contest, because it is most related to the core encyclopedia. And the Nauka TV is the best possible partner in Russia for this very important contest. It has absolutely nothing with politics, it's pure popular scientific channel, it's about knowledge, not about politics. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 09:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have written evidence that the money received for this competition do not come from VGTRK? That they do not come from the Russian government? Can you share this evidence with the community? --Alexander (talk) 09:35, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Joint-Stock Company Nauka TV is owned mostly by Joint-Stock Company Digital Technologies (which is owned by VGTRK), so the ownership is indirect. Digital Tehcnnologies seems to be a self-financing company. However, I don't see why should I prove: even if there are some governmental money, it only for the good, because it means that these money will be spent on free knowledge, and therefore will NOT be spent on war. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 12:24, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can build a bridge and comfort yourself with the fact that the money is spent for the bridge, not for building tanks, but it won't take long before tanks will drive over this bridge. -- Alexander (talk) 14:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And even if your money is from some other, non-governmental source, taxes paid from these prizes are a direct funding of the war. -- Alexander (talk) 14:45, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm absolutely convinced that free reliable neutral science-based knowledge prevents and stops wars. Wikimedia RU issued a detailed statement on this. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 19:43, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

•  Strong support. Wonderful contest promoting science, visualization of knowledge and Wikipedia among the citizens of Russia. --Frhdkazan (talk) 17:37, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Danielly Campos Dias,

Thanks for adding this campaign. You might have noticed in the Central Notice campaign calendar that we will be running the Wikimedia Foundation fundraising campaign from the 31st of May to the 28th of June in Latin America (Including Brazil). So there will be overlap with the start of our fundraising banners and the end of your campaign banners. Could you get in touch with me via email (jbrungs at wikimedia dot org) so we can find a solution? Thank you, JBrungs (WMF) (talk) 08:24, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, guys @Ciell:, @DerHexer:, @Martin Urbanec:, @Romaine:, @Steinsplitter: and @Ата:! Could someone give us feedback about the banner? The event will begin in a few days, and if we could have the banner in the target wiki projects we certainly should achieve our goals. Flávia Varella (talk) 18:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Central Notice admin comments[edit]

• I'll take care of it. —DerHexer (Talk) 18:52, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  @Danielly Campos Dias and Flávia Varella: I've created the campaign and banner. You can see a preview here. However, you can see that it doesn't look perfectly. Usually, we take a standard banner and adjust it with a logo on the left and a text in the center. A clickable photo like yours is not easy for most of us to implement. If you send us a link to the logo and also give us the texts (text fonts, text colors, etc.), we might be able to create an HTML which would be similar to the image. Since this will be a campaign also for the public, it should look better than now, in my opinion. What do you think? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:21, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Hello @DerHexer: ! Thanks a lot for the help. The logo is here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lettering_Mulheres_Vertical.png the image background is violet #B984AA.

Comment WMHU has a signed agreement with the WMF about this banner campaign. The campaign will be between 15th February and 20th May, separated into four periods. Active campaign periods were consulted with the Online Fundraising Team of the WMF:

• 15 to 21 February,
• 15 to 21 March,
• 28 April to 5 May and
• 12 to 20 May.

I am a CN admin, and I can handle and administrate the campaign myself as I did in the previous years. Samat (talk) 20:17, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since the community has been doing it annually and there are no previous issues with it, I've gone ahead and created the campaign (6 February to 6 March). ~ Nahid ^Talk 07:31, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for this @NahidSultan! I see you checked the box for anons, is this really necessary for an article writing campaign? Ciell (talk) 18:31, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sure. One of the aims of this contest, as far as I know, is to attract new editors (awareness building basically) to Bangla Wikipedia by displaying the banner to anonymous users. I've had the chance to organize this contest a couple of times in the past. Most of the users participated in them were completely new, and during the prize giving ceremonies many of them mentioned that they actually came to know about the contest while they were reading articles on Bangla/English Wikipedia. ~ Nahid ^Talk 19:51, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding, and I see there is also a daily diet in place. Ciell (talk) 09:00, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ciell and NahidSultan: The banner will end on 2022-03-06, however the contest will run until 31 March 2022. If there isn't any technical or any other restrictions, I am requesting to extend the banner by 2 more week please. We recently got grants for this contest, The banner will help us to achieve our target. Thank you. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:32, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've extended the runtime, but with a lower diet: it will only show twice per 5 days instead of daily. I did a cookie reset as well, so people that might have discarded the banner previously will see it again. I hope this is a good compromise for you? Ciell (talk) 19:51, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ciell: 👍 Thank you. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
