And yes, 80% of people ranked one of 4 options

Now, how many of the 20% who wants their name cited would have given the
same response to something like: "Would you be happy to piss everyone off
if
your name does not appear in a list of about 100 authors of a Wikipedia
article cited by Xyz?"
Not clear. That question wasn't asked.
In fact, it's not clear that only 20% want their name cited. If you ranked
"full list of authors must always be copied" second, does that mean that you
expect all authors to be listed, but just that you expect something else
more, or does it mean that you don't expect all authors to be listed at
all? It's not clear. The survey methodology was horrible.
