Note that the fundraising banners are currently only shown to a small percentage of readers – these are the October pre-tests:

The actual fundraiser will come at the end of the year, when the banners will follow everyone visiting Wikipedia around for over a month (29th of November – 31st of December).

I assume the small % of readers are also heavy users who don't make edits, like me. And honestly I would be thrilled to donate many many times if it wasn't for their ridiculous messaging. It's like Mozilla, stop spending my donation money on stupid doomed-to-fail projects and then I'll donate more.

If you donate now, this will be seen as the ads being effective.

If you donate in March, when no ads are running, that will lead to the ads being seen as less effective.
