<p>Nathan Yau, over at FlowingData, posted <a href="http://flowingdata.com/2010/11/16/visualize-this-winning-wikipedia-fundraiser-banners/">another “Visualize This” challenge</a>, this time to take a look at some <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AsJJL4_lxQL9dDc5dWU3WUtUMWM0QW1IUnM2c3N3enc&amp;hl=en#gid=24">data</a> that Wikipedia released regarding their recent fundraising campaign.  They tracked four banners’ performance – how many people visited the pages, how many people wound up starting the donation process, and how many people actually completed the donation process, amongst several other factors.  Again, I figured I’d take a stab at showing the data with Protovis.</p>
<p>You can see the result <a href="http://vis.mjs-svc.com/wikiappeals/">here</a>.</p>
