*Survey of Wikimedia editors in Ireland 2020*
Those of you who have edited in the last week will have noticed a banner
asking you to take part in our survey of Irish editors of Wikimedia
projects. We want to learn more from you about your editing and, most
importantly, how we can help you in your editing on both Irish and English.
If you haven't already taken part, you can find the survey here.
