•  Oppose. We've had way too many banners lately, and this one isn't really necessary. We can do without a week's advertising of a contest winner. --Yair rand (talk) 22:47, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

• Yair, this would be a 10% low level engagement campaign. You'd hardly notice it. Seddon (WMF) (talk) 02:41, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

  (I'm assuming "you" is as the indefinite pronoun, given that this is targeted at anonymous users according to the settings box.) 10% doesn't help things that much. The reader still has to read the banner once, have it pull attention away from the actual content once, and have it yank away the page as many times as is necessary to sufficiently frustrate the reader into finally seeking out the close button. A banner is a serious downgrade to the user experience, and should be used only when really necessary. --Yair rand (talk) 08:05, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Declined. Requested dates over. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:05, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
  • I've reset the dates. This is rather evergreen content. :-) Ed Erhart (WMF) (talk) 21:35, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
    • And the dates are over again. Unless you've ran this already, this is declined again. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 17:57, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
