Hi, in the past few days, we have been working on the participant's survey that's planned to be sent out after the end of the competition (in Israel). The planned date is not yet known; I would like to send it out as soon as we have it translated into the 25 main languages of the participating countries.
Taking last years' survey as a starting point, we have prepared 19 questions that I think would be useful to ask the participants. Because it's always better to have some feedback on such matters coming from a wider group of people, I would like to ask you to have a look at it and help us make it better.
The questions are available on an Etherpad at http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WLM-2012-survey; you can provide feedback on this very mailing list, or if you feel like more private, you can drop us an e-mail at wlm-global-org@lists.wmnederland.nl.
Thanks in advance for your time :-))
Hi Tomasz,
Nice survey!! Just a few things to consider:
Question8: is it possible that people who particitpated in WLM 2011 started right away in october to make new photographs? So answer 2 might be: I started right after WLM 2011 up to september 2012.
Question 9: motivation might also be found in wanting to share images of heritage in my town, village, environment or because it is useful to document heritage. The answers sound a little 'egocentric' to me, a little to much form point of view of Wikipedia instead of the point of view of the uploader.
Kind regards,
Els

Good survey, I especially liked how you reassured people as to what you'd use their information for and that you only asked them their year of birth. I hope you don't mind but I've forwarded this to the rest of the research committee and I hope that we will get more feedback from them.
Q9 needs an "It was fun!" option because previous surveys have found this to be one of the most common motives of our volunteers. I'd also suggest an option of "I'm proud of my photos and wanted others to see and use them", plus Els' suggestion which maybe could be worded as "I wanted to document the heritage of my area".
May I suggest you add questions to find out whether people have used these photos in Wikipedia, whether they have used the Quality featured process and what other topic areas they might be interested in participating in. You could word these as
Question W Have you added any of the photos you took to Wikipedia?
1 Yes 2 No, the monument I photographed doesn't have an article on Wikipedia 3 No, the Monuments I photographed already have pictures in their Wikipedia article. 4 No, I'm not sure how to do that. 5 No, not yet but I might in future.
Question X Have you submitted any photographs for consideration as Featured or Quality images in Wikimedia Commons?
1 Yes 2 No, I don't know about those processes 3 No, My camera isn't good enough to create that quality of photograph 4 No, I don't think any of my photographs are up to those standards 5 No, not yet but I might in future.
Question Y Will you take part in Wikimedia loves Monuments in September 2013?
1 Yes 2 No, not unless there are more monuments designated near me. 3 Not sure.
Question Z If we ran other similar competitons would you be likely to participate?
1 Wiki loves biology - taking photos of every species of life on earth - Yes/No/Maybe 2 Wiki loves geography - taking photos of every river, beach, waterfall, mountain or other natural feature - Yes/No/Maybe 3 "Photos for Wikipedia" a contest to add relevant useful photographs to illustrate Wikipedia articles that don't currently have images Yes/No/Maybe

(Note: this is a general answer to both Els's and WSC's comments.)
@Els: I think that this is a good idea to change the second answer into the one you suggested, so I went ahead and did so (it now reads: "I took the pictures between October 2011 and August 2012").
I also agree with your other suggestion (and I think it was also brought up by Jane, too) of adding the willingness-to-share option, so we now have 5 possible answers for Q9 (+ an "Other" option).
While preparing this survey, I've been reading some great survey tips from a Harvard University researched, David S. Walonick, who suggested that you should not present people with more than 5 choices for an answer, because it makes the survey/questionnaire too long and boring for the respondents, and I would like to stick to that suggestion. (It was also he who suggested to include a confidentiality/anonimity policy that I wrote down in the introduction.)
I am not sure how you know that "It was fun!" was a major motive that people chose in our previous survey(s), because I can't remember the 2011 survey results ever being published publicly (due to us not having the manpower to work on them). Perhaps you were talking about different surveys that I don't know about?
I am also not sure if asking people questions about placing the images on Wikipedia or using the Quality images process actually fits in the scope of this survey; this is a hard-core Wikipedian's job, and I doubt that the new users we try to reach with this survey even know how to place an image into an article, or what a Quality image is.
Question Y is included in our survey as Q15, and as for Question Z, I don't think that this survey is the right place to ask it. We might do so, but I would very, very much like us to limit ourselves to 20 questions; the survey cannot be too long, and it's already much longer than the one we used last year.
In any case, thanks a lot for your comments; I appreaciate them very much.
Hi Tomasz
I wasn't aware of previous surveys to WLM participants, I was thinking of previous surveys of Wikipedians and Wikimedians. One key finding has been that people volunteer because they enjoy doing so, and that it is the most important motive for our community.
As for survey length, I wouldn't be too concerned about the length as long as the questions are interesting and relevant to the participants, and crucially they don't have to put the survey on hold and ask someone else before answering a particular question (I didn't spot such problems in your survey but generally the longer a survey the greater the risk that someone asks such a question).

I'd split in October 2011-March 2012 and May-August 2012. The people who started photographing for WLM2012 in October should be a different bucket than those that noted that for their summer holidays.
It'd also be interesting to note when the photos were taken thinking on the contest, and when they were "available photos".
I am not sure how you know that "It was fun!" was a major motive that people chose in our previous survey(s), because I can't remember the 2011 survey results ever being published publicly (due to us not having the manpower to work on them). Perhaps you were talking about different surveys that I don't know about?
It was. Email of 2011-11-19 by Lodewijk on this list. Although fun doesn't seem to have been an option in that survey.
The answers for "My main motivation for submitting a photo to Wiki Loves Monuments was:" were: Help => 644 Heritage => 264 Easy => 223 Prize => 223 Other => 91 Blank => 15
(multioption, 784 users)
I am also not sure if asking people questions about placing the images on Wikipedia or using the Quality images process actually fits in the scope of this survey; this is a hard-core Wikipedian's job, and I doubt that the new users we try to reach with this survey even know how to place an image into an article, or what a Quality image is.
Talking about placing the images in Wikipedia may be ok. I'm much less convinced about QI. That's not a goal of the contest.
I really liked seeing this answer in last year survey: «Easy, Help, Prize, Other:I wanted to learn how to upload pictures to Wikipedia, as I have never done that before and this seemed like a good cause. :)»
I would add a question about the way they uploaded their files:
QXX How did you send the photos to the contest? Select all that apply. - I used the default upload tool for my country (UploadWizard). - I didn't send photos directly to Wikimedia Commons, I participated through flickr. - I used the Android App developed by Wikimedia Foundation. - I used the 123POI App. - I used a mass-uploading tool: [fill-in] - Other [fill-in]
Maybe even with a textarea for them to complain about our upload tools (in case they have errors).
Another question that I thought could be good was, "would you be willing to collborate organising WLM 2013 in your country?".

Just did that, thanks for the suggestion.

Ah, looks like I forgot about this one, but I was mostly thinking about organised results (with graphs, etc.), not just about answers put into an Excel file; I can vaguely remember that there weren't too many volunteers to do that part of the job (which is understandable).
I would add a question about the way they uploaded their files:
Aren't we able to get this data without asking this question in the survey? I was under the impression that we can at least get a more-or-less correct number of UploadWizard uploads through the CatScan tool; I know it would also work for the VicunaUploader created by Yarl; not sure about Commonist and the old upload form.
Maybe even with a textarea for them to complain about our upload tools (in case they have errors).
I think we can use Q14 ("What was the main obstacle, if any, for you to participate in the competition? If you wish, you can elaborate in detail.") for that one.
Another question that I thought could be good was, "would you be willing to collborate organising WLM 2013 in your country?".
I think it was also suggested by Tamara on Etherpad today, so I guess the question has some merit (no offence Tamara!), but I am not entirely convinced we should use it. We already have contact information to Wikimedia user groups that organised WLM 2010, 2011, and 2012, and have also received contact information from a lot of people from countries that did not participate yet through the blog.
I have prepared a draft on how the survey could look: http://toolserver.org/~platonides/wlmsurvey/wlm2012.php
I just went through the draft survey and it looks okay.
Suggestion: How about making the questions stand out from the answers or options beneath them?
Something like below:
*Have you ever edited Wikipedia/Wikimedia before participating in Wiki Loves Monuments (the first time)?*
Yes, I edited from time to time (less than five edits per month)
Yes, I am a regular contributor (more than five edits per month)
No, I have never tried doing that before participating in Wiki Loves Monuments.
By looking, the questions appear a bit combined with the answers.

Posted in Etherpad but will like to repeat here too:
#Under the competition, how one got to find info about WLM, can we please add Google+? Google+ might not be known in the minds of many as compared to facebook and twitter, however, G+'s got over 350M users. For Ghana, G+ played a nice role for us :-)
Through social media (Facebook, Twitter, *Google+* etc.)
Even though there's an Other: box there for unlisted options, I'm sure if anyone will write a platform in there, it will be Google+

You're right. I made the questions bold, and placed the explanations in italic. I'm not convinced it's final yet, but looks much better.
Feel free to suggest enhancements. The questions are properly classed, so it's a matter of adding a few lines of css to style them differently.

Can you number the questions?
The second answer in "When were (most of) your submissions for 2012 taken?" should say January - August. The third option should say 2000 - 2011. I realize there's a bit of weirdness with WLM2011, but I don't think we should lead them too much to that. Lets keep it as similar to last years survey as possible here and offer similar options.

Just as a short remark: Most question suggestions are quite good... but we should really really limit the survey to about 15 questions like last year. Having a short survey proved to be very helpful in the number of responses (got good feedback on that). I'm already having fights with Tomasz about the 4 extra questions added so far - so please realize that if you want to add a question, another question will likely have to disappear. Many good questions were quite detailed, and with every question we should consider what we want to learn from that answer.

It's copied from the etherpad. I do see value in splitting at Sep (and also at the summer). Although perhaps it should be phrased differently.

Fixed.

It is obviously possible :) Where do you want it? Inside the introductory text or somewhere else?

Yes this does look good! My only suggestion now is to trim some questions (sorry, it's hard for me to choose which ones) and to keep the italics, but do not use the light gray color and keep to black-on-white for increased readability. Jane 2012/10/11 Raimond Spekking raimond.spekking@gmail.com

Hi, I noticed the intro text no longer reflects the questions, so I think this text might be a better reflection of the questions as they are now, than the intro text in the survey today:
==Start of suggested intro text== The goal of this survey is to gather statistics about you, our valued contributors to Wiki Loves Monuments 2012. We would like to know more about you and your motivations for doing so, and your suggestions (if you have any) for the organisation of the Wiki Loves Monuments competition next year. Our goal is to use this information to improve your experience in 2013, and to make the next edition of the contest friendlier, easier, and more fun to participate in!
It takes about 5 minutes to fill out this survey, and we thank you in advance for taking the time to do so. Please note that none of the questions are obligatory, and you may refrain from answering them if you feel they are too personal. We will use your answers in this survey to create anonymized statistics, and will not be using, sharing or making public any personally identifiable data under any circumstances. ==End of suggested intro text== Jane 2012/10/11 Jane Darnell jane023@gmail.com

make that happen if you let me know how.
Yes. You can view the translation file here: http://toolserver.org/~platonides/wlmsurvey/Wlmsurvey.i18n.txt
It can simply be fed into translatewiki.net
Has it been fed now ? I couldn't find it on translatewiki.
Thanks
Will be added to translatewiki today by me.
Raimond.

Hi Platonides, thanks for your work on this, it looks great.
Just a couple of small details: I thought about having our suggestions ("Select all that apply, "You can leave that field empty", etc.) moved below the questions, and marked with a grey font (I see you use CSS for that, so it should be easy enough.)
I would also remove the <h2 /> for the Introduction part, and would appreciate it greatly if you could replace the Toolserver logo with our own (WLM). I would also suggest setting Vector as the default skin for the survey.
And a few more questions: will the survey automatically recognise the language of the user, or will we need to have a languages box at the top of the page? How about getting acccess to the source of the survey, and its results, where would those be stored?
Thanks for your work on this, it's awesome!

Done. I also moved them to the right of the screen. See how it looks like.

Gone.

Changed.

Ok, changed.

Yes. It will pick the language prefered by your browser amongst the available translations. Besides, you have the full translation list at the sidebar.

That part is not implemented. I see a couple of options: a mysql table or saving to a file.
Thanks for your work on this, it's awesome!
Thanks :)
