Hi, this are my personal opinions, so better wait officail answer: q13a : I think it allows editing by sentence or paragraph. (So you can choose one sentence/paragraph and edit only it) Olli 2011/3/11 Анастасия Львова <stasielvova(a)gmail.com>

Hi Eleri, "I research articles" is gathering information to write the article. It can be reading/researching about the subject online, offline etc. I hope this helps.

Hi Eleri, We would have to rely on the community to translate them. Mani Mani Pande, PhD Head of Global Development Research Wikimedia Foundation Twitter: manipande Skype: manipande On 3/12/11 3:28 AM, Eleri James wrote:

Hi Eleri, Right now we don't from which languages we will get narrative responses. Once we figure it out, we will employ different channels to recruit translators. We will certainly post it on this list, and keep you in loop. I am sure Casey, James and Alex have some other ideas that I am not aware of.

Hello everybody! I'm translating the survey to Bulgarian and I reached question Q3, which I believe needs clarification, especially considering the preceding questions. *Q3. What is your user access level? (Please choose all that apply) * Having asked the editor to first list ALL applicable versions of Wikipedia where they contribute, and then the ONE where they contribute primarily, its obscure then which of both aspects does Q3 exactly refer to. For instance, I may contribute to both Bulgarian and English Wikipedia (Bulgarian being the primary one) and I may have a basic account on the English WP, while being a sysop on Bulgarian WP. Then, how am I supposed to answer the question? :) Hence, the question should either stipulate that the answer is given for the *primarily edited *version of Wikipedia, OR it shall allow the user to provide their * maximal *user access level ever reached. I think both answers would be helpful for the survey, or even one of them, as long as all users understand the question uniformly. I've posted this question on the talk page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_2011/Translati… but I decided that it may be a good idea to post it here too, considering some translations have already been completed, while this issue may trigger rewording of the original... Best wishes! Vassia

Hm, it wasnt so obvious to me, before you explained it :D ... Maybe you're right though I'm still feeling that misinterpretation may occur and separating the question would yield clearer results (and eventually bring more information, helpful for the survey). Or maybe it;s because of my sleepiness in this time of the night (UTC+2)... Thanks anyway!

Thanks for the feedback. Here are my answers to your questions. Mani Block edits is editing a selection like few sentences or just a paragraph This question is to understand their online behavior so it is not related to wiki context. But if you feel Facebook Places is more relevant example than go ahead and change it. Yes it is a typo, thanks for pointing it out

Hi, Central notice in Finnish needs proofreading. Olli 2011/3/12 Casey Brown &lt;lists(a)caseybrown.org&gt;

Problem with the central notice page not saving seems to have solved itself.

I couldn't post a comment on the talk page either. Am able to edit other pages on meta. Also, I think that the message needs an 'a' in it, as in "Wikipedia is conducting a survey of Wikipedia editors."
