Your userpage

[edit]

Hello, I'm clearing up syntax errors on Wikipedia and ran across your userpage from this report of protected pages with syntax errors. Would you be willing to make the adjustments I've made here? This will correct the Missing, Misnested, and Obsolete tag issues. Your current version's on the left, and my corrections are on the right. If so, you can edit that version on the right, do a full page copy and paste into your userpage to make things easy for you. If you have questions, I'm happy to chat. Thank you!

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

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
