Dear Quentinv57,
The main goal of the survey is to gather more insight in possible cultural differences for the use of Wikipedia. Earlier studies already looked at the motives for Wikipedia use, but never looked at it from a cultural point of view. This is wat our study tries to achieve.
My colleague contacted the research bord of Wikipedia via de link on Wikipedia, I will ask her the name of the people she spoke with.
I hope that you now have a more clear view of what this study is trying to research!
If you have any more questions, please feel free contact me.
Regards,
Nick Geurts

Hello. May we know what this survey aims at, and what you will do with
the data ?
We did not get any mail from Wikimedia staff about that by the way. Who
did you contacted ?
Best regards,

Ceci étant la liste de la Wikipédie française, pourquoi le message est-il exclusivement en anglais ? Il aurait fallu au minimum en faire une traduction automatique.
