Congratulations . . .

. . . on twenty years of service here. Kablammo (talk) 11:54, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I wouldn't have noticed that had you not mentioned it. Not normally an early adopter, somehow I stumbled onto Wikipedia when it was still quite obscure. Those two decades have gone by quickly. Moncrief (talk) 14:24, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

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 .
