Hey, I saw your proposal on another user's page. I guess you just chose 20 users at random or something. I hope all 20 respond! If not, your welcome to look at my page. Its a little spartan, but it does have a link to my website, which may or may not be helpful to your survey. Best of luck to you. Jessemv ( talk) 05:28, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
If you'd be interested in including a user page that does virtually nothing to communicate with other Wikipedians, feel free to include mine.--~ T P W 16:47, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank-you again! === '''5 QUESTIONS'''=== # Are you a member of social networks such Facebook or MySpace? # In addition to maintaining a user page in Wikipedia, have you also written or edited articles? If so, about how many times? # What are the key messages about yourself that you hope to convey with your user page? # Have your Wikipedia contributions ever received feedback, such as being edited by others or commented on? Have you received a message from another Wikipedia user? If so, do you think your user page positively or negatively affected what other people said and how they said it? # Do you see your “online self” as being different from your “offline self?” Can you elaborate? Please indicate your answers to these questions on your talk page, or on mine. Please respond by October 1st so that I have time to properly read your responses.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. -- SineBot ( talk) 20:07, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi! This is User:Cymru.lass. In September you posted on my talk page about including my user page in your study. That would be fine by me. Sorry I didn't respond earlier; this is the first time I've logged in to Wikipedia in a while! You can contact me through Special:EmailUser/Cymru.lass. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass ( talk • contribs) 00:41, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Goodness. Sorry I'm responding so late! I've been logging in every now and then in the past couple of months but I hadn't bothered to check my messages. Yes, it would be okay to use my page as part of your survey if it isn't already too late. Please let me know if you need anything.
