Hi all,
As I mentioned in an earlier thread [1], we will be running reader surveys across a number of Wikipedia languages to learn about the reader needs and motivations in these languages as well as some of their demographic information (and perhaps the correlations between demographics and user motivations and characteristics).
If your language community is interested to have statistics on the distribution of reader gender, age, education, native language, and geographic region (rural/urban) in your language (and depending on how much data we collect in your language, perhaps more insights), this is your chance to indicate interest at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Characterizing_Wikipedia_Reade...
I initially communicated 2019-02-15 as the deadline to sign up. Since then, we have run a pilot test on enwiki and we are investigating some of the results to see if any changes in the survey questions are needed. You have now time until 2019-03-15 to indicate interest.
As always: this call is primarily a service to your language community. If you like it, take action on it. If you don't, no action is needed. :)
Best, Leila
