We are looking for Wikipedians to participate in a survey. The survey is
designed to help us understand group decision-making and Wikipedia’s
Articles for Deletion (AfD) process. The research is being carried out
under the terms of the University of Western Ontario - Code of Conduct; it
will not lead to any sales follow up; no individual (or organization) will
be identified in our reporting.
If you are an adult Wikipedian, we would be grateful if you could spare
approximately 10-15 minutes to complete this survey.
As a token of our gratitude, for each completed survey we will make a
charitable donation of CAD$2 to the Wikimedia Foundation. If you have any
questions, please contact Lu Xiao at lxiao24 (at) uwo.ca.
To start the survey please click ONCE on the link below: http://
fluidsurveys.com/s/WikipediaSurvey/
Please try to complete the survey by August 1, 2014.
Thank you very much for your time, we really value your input.
Sincerely,
UWO Wikipedia Research Team

Dear all,
A complaint about this page first surfaced on the feministsindia list on
Saturday; Rohini and I are both members of this list. I've been cleaning
the article in bits and pieces this week, but there's still much work ahead.
Do see the article on it that was posted on Kafila.org just now:
