Hi, Thank you for your advise and (very interesting) material. The reason for not carrying out another survey is that I need more responses on the same questions and therefore I would like to ask the listmembers for help. I want to collect more than 50 responses for my survey (currently I'm on 32). When you don't agree with the anonymity question I could delete this question from the survey, but I really would like to ask the other questions of the questionnaire. My main focus is on the characteristics and the level of innovation of the Wikipedian (Diffusion of Innovation theory). I was curious if the notion of anonymity of the veteran Wikipedian would be different from the idea of a relatively 'new' Wikipedian.
