Surveys and motivations edit
How honest do you expect people to be about their motivations? --Nemo 23:50, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Dunno. It will depend on whether they think they have anything to lose from answering honestly, or anything to gain from lying. You can never be entirely sure that someone is telling the truth, but you can design a survey prompt in order to encourage truthfulness. I should note that there are currently no plans to perform this study; I just threw it up here to capture the idea. Jmorgan (WMF) (talk) 17:53, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
