Motivation to Contribute to Wikipedia

2nd Pilot Study

The study on "Motivation to Contribute to the English Wikipedia, a Collective Work" in progress. Please visit online survey form(completed) and fill out the form. The questionnaire is written in good English and contains simple questions. The time estimate would be about 20 minutes when you complete the questionnaire. I chose you as a English Wikipedia user who made edits recently through the RecentChange page. I need about 200 sample to test my hypotheses. Refer to the first page in the online survey form for more information on the study and me.
