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,
Rollback rights request
@Malinaccier: Hello, I am writing regarding my request for Rollback rights submitted on 25 October 2024 ([1]). I provided the requested clarification on the same date concerning a rollback action you queried.
I noticed today that there has been no follow-up on either the request or the clarification. I fully appreciate that real-life obligations and the complexities involved in evaluating requests may cause delays. However, I would be obliged if you could provide some clarity on the current status. Thank you. QEnigma (talk) 18:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
