Thanks for letting me know, Keilana! I'm using Qualtrics via WMF, and I'm not as
familiar with it as other survey software. I'm not sure why it keeps bouncing people
out. I'll ping Jonathan Morgan.

Amanda, I had a similar problem - I was only able to enter one article before it decided I
was done and submitted the survey. I had many more than 1 to add!
Thanks

Hi,
I've received some comments, criticisms, and questions re: a question on the survey in
which I ask respondents to list 10 articles that they think are of most interest to
females and least interest to males.
When there are no surveys in progress, I will lock the survey and edit/amend this
question.
First, I will use woman rather than female and man rather than male. Second, I will
explain why I've included this question.
Many scholars, theorists, and Wikipedians of all genders and sexes believe knowledge is
gendered. Some Wikipedians argue that a consequence of the gender gap is a lack of
coverage of certain topics; others argue that gender doesn't matter-that anyone can
write about any topic.
I've asked this question (perhaps poorly!) to understand how the community perceives
of and constructs the gender of certain topics. In no way did I intend to offend anyone or
suggest that I believe men and women are or should be interested in different topics.
Thanks to all who have provided feedback. If you have any questions or comments (or
criticisms!) please feel free to contact me.
Also, please note: One survey respondent stated the survey blanked an answer after the
list wasn't provided. I see the answers to the final question (which asks for general
feedback) even if other questions aren't answered. I'm not sure why it looks as
though an answer has been blanked, but I'll look into it tonight!
Best,
Amanda / Mssemantics

Subject: [Gendergap] Survey re: gender gap
Hi,
I've just activated a survey re: the gender gap, primarily on the EN Wiki:
https://jfe.qualtrics.com/form/SV_cILwYSqJB58SgFn
This survey is a part of ongoing research related to an IEG:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_and_Wikipedia
If you have 10-20 minutes, I would greatly appreciate your participation. Also, please
feel free to share the link to the survey to editors of all sexes and genders who are not
on this mailing list.
This survey is open to ALL editors who contribute to the English language Wikipedia. It
does not require or record your user name or real name.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me via
amending@uw.edu<mailto:amending@uw.edu> or reach out to User:Mssemantics.
Thanks!
Amanda Menking
