Dear Chinese Wikipedia community,

I am conducting a study of the Wikipedia communities in six different languages for my diploma thesis. Please read my initial announcement for more information: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kurt_Jansson

I owe a big "thank you" to everybody who has helped answer my questions.

So far over 50 people across six Wikipedia communities have contributed to their community's answers and I am grateful for their help. However, for the study to be comprehensive I need more people to get involved. Some communities also seem to need more time to discuss and work out the answers.

Therefore I have extended the deadline for participation until May 13th.

I have used mailing lists and village pumps to spread the announcement about my research questions, but every community has their own channels for the distribution of information. So, I ask you to help get more people involved to make sure the results accurately represent your community.

When phrasing the answers, please approach it as if you were writing a Wikipedia article: try to work on joint answers that your community can agree on. The answers don't need to be neutral in an NPOV kind of way, but please try to give a comprehensive picture of the processes and ideals of your community.

The questions can be found at http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kurt_Jansson/questions ; please edit the questions page to contribute.

Best wishes, Kurt
