 Hi,
 
 regarding the Wikimedia Foundation elections 2013, I was trying to find a
 breakdown of the voters, i.e. how many voted based on which requirements,
 i.e. as editors, developers, staff and contractors, and board members, but
 I could not find anything.
 
 I would appreciate a pointer to that data.

As far as I can remember, that's not something that's collected. A list
of eligible voters are created and fed to the software, which either let
or don't let someone vote. All votes are recorded the same regardless of
how someone is qualified to vote, which may of course be via more than
one way.

Aye, as Katie said we do not keep track of who voted under what
requirements (and many of them are, indeed, eligible under multiple
requirements). You can see a list at
https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/list/290 and probably
surmise some of it from there but once they voted, if they were eligible,
they went into one giant bucket.

Yup - just watched it in the Netherlands, with lots of Viagra ads too!

It's a great piece and I hope it helps spread the message that Wikipedia is
a non-profit written by volunteers. One of the outcomes of the WMNL reader
and editor survey was that most of the Dutch public didn't know that
Wikipedia is a non-profit dependant on donations:

[Wikimedia-l] Q on the 2013 elections re voter breakdown

2015-04-06 Thread Denny Vrandečić
Hi,

regarding the Wikimedia Foundation elections 2013, I was trying to find a
breakdown of the voters, i.e. how many voted based on which requirements,
i.e. as editors, developers, staff and contractors, and board members, but
I could not find anything.

I would appreciate a pointer to that data.

Cheers,
Denny
