Reminder: Community Insights Survey

Share your experience in this survey

Hi Extabulis/Archive 5,

A couple of weeks ago, we invited you to take the Community Insights Survey. It is the Wikimedia Foundation's annual survey of our global communities. We want to learn how well the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work on and off wiki. We are 10% towards our goal for participation. If you have not already taken the survey, you can help us reach our goal! Your voice matters to us.

Please take 15 to 25 minutes to give your feedback through this survey. It is available in various languages.

This survey is hosted by a third-party and governed by this privacy statement (in English).

Find more information about this project. Email us if you have any questions, or if you don't want to receive future messages about taking this survey.

Sincerely,

RMaung (WMF) 20:10, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi

Hi

Not many people are interested in glass, so I had a look at your user page, just out of curiosity.

Love the drafts! Keep up the good work ;¬)
