This introduction to an online survey explains the purpose of the survey, as well as the collection and use of information
Thank you for taking the 2012 Editor Survey. You have made Wikipedia and its sister projects what they are, and your responses in this survey will help to make them even better. Our goal is to use this survey to help improve your editing experience and that of other editors. We will publicly share the results after the survey is complete.
The survey will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete. We realize that this is a significant request of your time, and we want to thank you in advance for your support in collecting valuable information that will help us all!
You have been invited to complete this survey because you were logged in at the time you received the notice. We used the public wiki API to determine your edit count, year of registration, and admin or reviewer status and will associate these data points with your responses through the use of a random anonymous identifier. We do not associate your user ID, IP address, or any other personal information with your responses.
By answering these questions, you permit us to record your responses and agree to donate them to the public domain. This allows us to freely share your answers with others for the purpose of open analysis, research, and study. This survey does not require you to provide any personally identifiable information such as your name, address, phone number, or email. (Please do not incorporate your personal information in any response to a question.)
This survey is being conducted by the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that operates Wikipedia. By answering our questions, you consent to the transfer of your responses to the United States of America and other places as may be necessary to carry out the objectives of this project.
If you have any questions about this survey, or concerns about confidentiality, please feel free to contact survey@wikimedia.org.
