Last week's launch of the annual Wikimedia Fundraiser had a rocky start. Originally scheduled to begin on Monday, November 9, the first sitenotice banners were put up across the global projects on Tuesday evening (PST), only to be taken down again in the early hours of Wednesday due to technical problems. Modified versions of the controversial banners were subsequently restored on Thursday evening, but only to Wikipedia projects.
