Superb.
The English end-of-year fundraising campaign (US, CAN, UK, IRE, AUS, NZ) has just ended. According to https://frdata.wikimedia.org/yeardata-day-vs-ytdsum.csv WMF coffers still managed to swell by $33 million, even with the more reasonably-worded banners. --Andreas JN 466 11:32, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The terminal cancer would much rather become a mere parasite than face chemotherapy. The patient was swayed away from chemo, as they seem to think the cancer isn't lethal or might, in fact, be good or useful. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:00, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This gave me a good laugh given the old wording made it seem like it truly was Doomsday on Wikipedia (sometimes it does feel like it). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cute, but I think that text would have worked even better on a picture of Ukraine.
We humbly ask you to support Wikipedia's independence, in the name of Ukraine and preventing Putin from blowing up these children. And that box of kittens the kids are holding too. You don't want the children's starving parents to have to eat the dead mangled kitten remains, covered in their children's blood, do you? Alsee (talk) 02:18, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
