Wikipedia Help Survey

[edit]

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Remains

[edit]

Yo.

I'm not seeing the advantage to adding extra verbiage to change "she was buried" to "her remains were buried"... I think most readers are pretty clear on the meaning already. If you want emphasize the point that a dead body is not the same thing as a living person, I'd rather let the reader work that out for themselves.

I'd rather be precise. If, when the body dies, that is the end, and there is no spiritual element leaving the dead body, THEN you can say "H was buried, or cremated, whatever. I'm an English teacher. You? Also a buddhist. Odd that you felt it necessary to reach out to me. Go away. LOL

Survey Invite

[edit]

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=eYcEJhpD4guKGZT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_6J4cDxjgSnPiU61&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 20:58, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
