The questionnaire is interesting, actually. While I was filling the
first page, I was thinking that I am doing it for my fictional
character. However, at the end I've realized that I filled the
questionnaire as real myself :)

Besides the fact that the culture on Wikipedia is not so bright, the
other problem in my field (linguistics) is that even English Wikipedia
so poorly covers the field, that I don't have an idea where to start.
Whatever I started to do looks like a white elephant.
