Talk:Public outreach/Academy/Pre-academy survey

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Wording of Q4[edit]

The current wording is:

Would you participate in efforts to involve scientists in adding or improving Wikipedia articles?

An alternative wording is:

Would you participate in efforts to add or improve Wikipedia articles?'

The second is simpler, but doesn't mean the same thing. The second is about individually improving articles, perhaps as part of a WikiProject. The first implies (to me, at least) some sort of outreach, as in (for example) asking other NIH scientists to join in this effort.

I suggest clarification: either use the second wording, or change "involve scientists" to "involve other scientists". John Broughton 18:29, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point! I've changed it. Thank you. --Frank Schulenburg 23:09, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
