Purpose of Survey

We appreciate your participation! This survey will help us find editors from the Korean and Czech Wikipedias who are interested in participating in a research study on editor experiences.

What Information We Collect

This survey collects the responses you provide to the questions asked; there are two types of answers: defined responses, and free-form responses.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

The information collected in this survey will not be publicly shared. It will only be available to Wikimedia staff and contractors, as well as research organizations working with us on this project, all of whom are subject to nondisclosure obligations. The following exceptions also apply.

We may disclose any collected information when required by law, when we have your permission, when needed to protect our rights, privacy, safety, users, or the general public, and when necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or any other Wikimedia policy.
