Staff banner text testing October 21, 2011

[edit]

In our big day of staff appeal testing, we also switched up the banner text and tried out:

  • Please read: An appeal from our staff
  • Please read an appeal from our staff
  • Please read: a special appeal from our staff
  • Our staff has a question for you
  • Our staff needs your help
  • How important is it to you that Wikipedia is ad-free?

Results

We couldn't beat the standard "please read" text although "special" appeal looks like it was pretty close.
