We are going to anonymize the responses so individual responses are not associated with individual respondents. The foundation is committed to the privacy of the respondents, and believes that protecting the privacy of its users and survey respondents is of utmost importance.

Dear fellow translators,

I'm not convinced about the privacy concerning this survey and I'm not the only one

At http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_survey_feedback

are yet some other remarks. Please read them before you publish this to the entire community.

First: CheckUsers are always able to track you so for them it's never anonymous unless you fill them out in an Internet café...

In the personal questions should always be the option "Don't know/Don't want to tell"

Examples:

"Do you have children?" - Men, including me, in certain circumstances don't know...

"Monthly income" - Freelancers and criminals don't want to reveal this for obvious reasons.

"Gender" - Even this may cause problems incase of 'transsexual' and 'transgender' (BTW those words are synonyms)
