Hello, | Hello, | ||
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''. | |||
I am a first time contributor, thank you for your comments. | |||
I am extremely new to all of this, so what happens now after you have edited my submission? | |||
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. | |||
Where do I go correct the edits? You mentioned line 14, how do I get back to my submission page to edit line 14? | |||
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] . | |||
Appreciate the advice. | |||

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
