Survey

Hi Dgusby!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

In Wikipedia you don't need permission to edit articles, as long as you do it in good faith.--Nitsansh (talk) 18:17, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

What I used Wikipedia For Initially

Before this Wikipedia class I only used Wikipedia as an initial, or "starter" reference for subjects of which were required for me to research. I also used it to gather general information on a topic that I might have liked to familiarize myself with or if a certain topic peaked my interest.

Gaging from my contributions so far, I would say that I would be found as a somewhat credible source.

To develop a more credible status as a Wikipedia editor, I should begin to find more sources form which I can cite or reference from to enhance the article(s) I am or will be editing.
