  •   Strong support. Traditional international competition. It has been running for over 8 years. During the competition, it is possible to obtain unique and high-quality photographs that illustrate thousands of articles about various fields of science.--Ctac (talk) 08:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Strong support. Best Wiki-Science Photo contest since 2015. Great result thanks to newcomers. — Niklitov (talk) 14:56, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Strong support. More important than ever for Wikimedia Strategy. On top of the above, the banner is itself an outreach to readers from Russia, demonstrating that Russian entity partnerships with the local and international Wikimedia community is still possible and acceptable, as well as the fact that Wikimedia projects are open to and welcoming Russian citizens' engagement and contribution. --Frhdkazan (talk) 17:28, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • @DerHexer: No. This is a new problem. Geolocation for Russia and Belarus stopped working in 2023, and that campaign was in 2022. For example, look at the strange statistics on the number of Russian Wikipedia editors. Due to a broken geo-location, it says that supposedly no one from Russia and Belarus edits the Russian Wikipedia. However, in fact, there are 75-80% of editors from Russia and about 5-10% from Belarus. Please put a banner without geo-location at all, because it does not work for Russian IP addresses.--Ctac (talk) 19:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
