Thanks. All questions were generic and about "Wikipedia", so I answered
with the Italian Wikipedia in mind. Also note that it.wiki is perhaps
the only wiki which switched deletions from voting to non-voting: the
experiment was already done, you only need to measure and interpret it.

I had problems with two questions:
* "Are you concerned that somebody would change or remove your
rationale? Please choose the most applicable response." This question
assumes that removing a comment is bad; I would have answered "Yes when
appropriate per law or policy" but there was no such option.
* "Do you read the rationales in the discussion before making the final
decision?" This assumes that this is just a matter of personal taste;
sometimes policy and process requires it, sometimes not. (For instance
in the classic it.wiki deletion process, but certainly also in some
specific sub-process triggers on en.wiki and others.)
