Dear Douglas
Congratulations on a job well-done! I have browsed through your findings
and I don’t have much to add. Here are a few suggestions, but these are not
compulsory to integrate though:
· Instead of survey, indicate it was an *online *survey. This will
indicate that you have taken into account the online research ethics
involved in approaching and dealing with your respondents.
· “The majority of editors are based in only two provinces.”
I agree with your response relating to the ‘first language’ issue. I think
this question is a problem in many “[research] contexts” of South Africa.
I mean: Should participants indicate their ‘home language’ (spoken at
home), of their school attended, or the languages used in the workplace
(‘language of wider communication’)? To be fair, think if 40% of your
population indicated that they speak English as a L1, just integrate it as
that.
Otherwise, good job! All the best!
Regards
JdT

Thank you for doing this, Douglas. Very
impressive. I presume that you
will update the results with the figures obtained at the end of the month?
I didn't spot any obvious typos, but the image with the numbers on the
map isn't all that easy to read. Other than that, I think that it's great.
Kind regards,

results
Hi Everyone,
I am getting some feedback that my last email come through with nothing
attached. I think the file was large enought (3MB) that the mailing list
dropped it. So I have uploaded it to commons and you can see it there at
the link here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Infographic-WMZA_survey_results_201…
Cheers,
Douglas.

Hello everyone,
As many of you know Wikimedia SOuth Africa has been conducting a
survey over the past few months of South African based editors. So if
you were on Wikipedia recently and saw a banner asking you to
participate in a survey, this is it. I have spent much of the day
today going over some of the results of the survey and have summarised
some of the more interesting results into a draft infographic (it is
still very rough). I am planning to display it at this year's
Wikimania which will be happening in less than
3 weeks time.
Please let me know what you think of it and please let me know if you
spot any errors. I am pretty terrable at copy editing, especially
spelling. It is meant to be printed out on an A0 sized poster -so
please excuse its rather large size- as well as what ever I can fit on
a smaller
flyer.
Cheers,
Douglas
