Dear all
The Wikimedia Foundation is running an Affiliate Membership survey that
they have asked me to share with Wikimedia UK members. Looking through the
questions, this feels most appropriate for active Wikimedia contributors,
rather than people who are members but don't volunteer their time. I would
therefore be grateful if those of you who tick both of these boxes felt
able to complete the survey, the deadline for which is, I believe, *Friday
29th January*.
There are two ways of taking the survey:
Anonymously, through the following link (making sure not to close your
browser until you have finished):
https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e5s72QFWkLzUm8t
<https://wikimedia-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1-3kRsyecb7zLUoU…>
Or via a personalised link sent to your email address. To request this, go
to:
https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4UdVzTCXbnwqgcZ
The survey should take 20 - 30 minutes to complete, and you can find
the questions
asked in the survey on meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Data_and_Insights_Team/Our_Reports/2…>
if you want to read/download before starting the actual survey.
Many thanks, and best wishes
Lucy

Hi all
Hope you had a good break, and happy new year to you all!
As many of you will know, Wikipedia turns twenty on the 15th January. We're
having a party at 5-6pm on Zoom, with a talk from Jimmy Wales and short
lightning talks from the UK community. Sign up here
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wikipedias-20th-birthday-party-tickets-13291…>
if you'd like to join us.
We'll also be running a #WikiLovesCakes GBBO-style competition on
social media over the birthday weekend from the 15th - 18th January. If
you'd like to join our judging panel (no tasting required!) please let
me know. Photos of cakes will be judged on:
1) Wikipedia story or connection
2) How the panel think they will taste
3) Appearance / decoration
The Wikimedia Foundation has asked us to pass on a message about birthday
wishes from the UK: *We’d love to have Wikimedia UK and volunteers in the
UK participate in a birthday montage video that we will be presenting
during Wikipedia’s birthday party on January 15th. All you need to do is
record a short clip (under 30 seconds) via your phone or computer, saying
Happy Birthday or sharing birthday wishes to Wikipedia in your preferred
language. You can Click here <https://www.tribute.co/wikipedia/> to record
a video to be a part of Wikipedia’s birthday montage. Deadline to submit a
video is January 11th.*
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best
Katie
