Wikipedia Programmer: We Do The Funny Portrait Placement Thing Because It Works

The BatmanYou know, I'm becoming something of a fan of Brandon Harris (the latest face of Wikipedia's fundraising efforts, which you should absolutely donate to.) First, he's a programmer on Wikipedia, which is pretty much the most world-bettering programming gig you could ever have. Second, he stopped in for hugs even as we were sort of poking fun at him. Third, he's taken the time to answer the question we've been asking for over a week now: what's up with the crazy confusing/hilarious donation plea portrait placement?* The answer: They do it intentionally. Because it works.
