I want to share a research project on talk page discussions (Wikimedia Research page) and see if anyone might be open to participating in the study! Cho1994 (talk) 20:30, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello guys, it was so great meeting you all, and thank you so much for the warm welcome! :D As I mentioned at the end of the meetup, I would really appreciate it if you could participate in my study. If you're interested, please fill out this short Google survey (If you prefer not to use Google, feel free to let me know!) See you again! :) Cho1994 (talk) 05:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
