Hi, I need some clarification for several questions in the survey.
D1a. In what year did you first start contributing to Wikipedia? -- Do you accept non-Gregorian calendars here? If not, we might better to give some indication with the box, for example, something equivalent to " A.D. _____ ". Without any given notice, people might expect their own calendars. D11. In a typical day, how much time do you spend on your computer? -- The candidates here look less regular. Is it intentional to have "8-9" as the second candidate, not "9-10"? Q9. -- Here you mention several websites/services including Facebook and Farmville. Those examples might give less or no information to non-English users. Are we allowed to "localize" it into a well-known counterpart in our own language community? (Sir48 asked the same question at [[meta:Talk:Wikipedia Editors Survey 2011/Translation/en]], and got no reply yet.)
