Turkish Wikipedia Survey

Dear friend,

Merhaba ve Selamlar. I am a dedicated Hindi Wikipedian and a regular contributor to many other projects of Wikimedia. In addition to this, I also study other language Wikipedians and their contributions. In this connection, I have authored the following blogs studying different projects of Wikimedia Foundation :

1. Wikipedia for Schools Project (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
2. Samskrita Bharati and Sanskrit Wikipedia: The journey ahead (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
3. A Focused Approach for Maithili Wikipedia (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
4. Two Shades of Wikipedia in Punjabi (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
5. A Survey of Esperanto Wikipedians (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
6. Wikimedia Projects in Urdu: Unleashing the Latent Potential (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
7. Hindi Wikipedia - An Encyclopedia Bridging New Bonds of Friendship Across Borders

I have seen the fact that you have Turkish Wikipedia significantly. I will be glad if you could share your editing experience and observations by answering to the following questions, either here itself, or email me, if you have specified your own email address in the preferences of your Turkish Wikipedia account or post me a message (privately or on my wall) on Facebook with the responses to the questionnaire:

1. How did you reach Turkish Wikipedia?

2. Why did you decide you must contribute to Turkish wikipedia?

3. What is the primary difference you find in the editing cultures on Turkish and any other Wikipedia that you are aware of

4. How do you find fellow editors? Are there conflicts?

5. Indian Wikipedians joined hands for various editathons such as http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lilavati's_Daughters_Edit-a-thon. Has there been such other special editathons on Turkish Wikipedia?

6. Where are most of the Turkish Wikipedians located (the specific part of Turkey / TRNC / Bulgaria, etc)?

7. Have you attended or organized Turkish Wikipedia community meet-ups?
