Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research
[edit]Hello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Take the survey here.
Kind Regards,
BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 00:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- FYI, when I got this, I had thought I had already taken the survey, and when I followed the link, I got a message that indeed I had. I hope that you aren't sending this message to a lot of other people who have already taken the survey. rogerd (talk) 02:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
