Thank you, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy, but, ach, I kinda feel like I did too much. You found sources for an article, you wrote the article from scratch, you proposed the several hooks. Yet in the end, it is my hook that stays. Oh well, at least the nominator takes full credit as per convention.

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.

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,
