Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Topic ban lifted

Hello Davidbena! I have closed your appeal with consensus to lift your topic ban. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:47, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank-you, Wikipedia! I love you! I'll take things slowly.Davidbena (talk) 22:55, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

• Let me be the first to congratulate you on this; you have been very patient. I hope with all my heart it goes well. The Davidbena who looks up books and find information: that Davidbena wikipedia needs. The Davidbena who digs in, and doesn't listen to counter-argument: not so much. I hope we will see 100% of the first Davidbena, and 0% of the second, best wishes! Huldra (talk) 23:37, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks, Huldra. I will do my utmost best, and will keep your words as good counsel and sage advice.Davidbena (talk) 00:35, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

• I didnt get a chance to say congratulations here, sorry, but Im glad this is over. And also I want you to know if you find yourself unsure of an edit I promise I will always give you my honest advice. You dont need to ask for it anymore, but the door will remain open. Welcome back to the topic from Hell David, nableezy - 16:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

  @Nableezy:, I will definitely consult you if I should have any doubt about the efficacy and pertinence of an edit in the ARBPIA area. You've been a great help to me. Thanks!Davidbena (talk) 17:37, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

• Adding my congratulations as a bystander in your preferred topic area. A well deserved outcome. -- Euryalus (talk) 19:03, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
