[Wikimedia-l] Why Do You Contribute to Wikipedia?

[Audrey Abeyta]

Dear Wikipedia contributors,

Your valuable opinions are needed regarding users' motivations to
contribute to Wikipedia. This topic is currently investigated by Audrey
Abeyta, an undergraduate student at the University of California, Santa
Barbara. You can read a more detailed description of the project here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Motivations_to_Contribute_to_Wikipedia

Those willing to participate in this study will complete a brief online
questionnaire, which is completely anonymous and will take approximately
ten minutes. The questionnaire can be accessed here:
https://us1.us.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8ixU9RkozemzC4s.

The researcher hopes to attain a sample size of at least 100 Wikipedians;
as of now, only 52 have responded. Your contributions to this project's
validity are invaluable!

A final draft of the paper will be made available to the Wikipedia
community.

If you have any questions or concerns about this study, please contact
Audrey Abeyta at audrey.abeyta at gmail.com.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
