== ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'' exit poll ==
<!-- Message sent by User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WiR_list_2&oldid=812113507 -->
Dear Wikipedian, you [https://vote.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:SecurePoll/list/560&dir=prev&limit=5 recently voted] in the [[WP:ACE2015/C|ArbCom election]]. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was [[Hardware_random_number_generator|randomly selected]] from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2015/Electoral_Commission|one of the election-commissioners]]. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an [[exit poll]], and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the [[WP:ARBCOM|ArbCom]] candidates?

&nbsp; If [[WP:CHOICE|you decide]] to participate in this [[exit poll]], the statistical results will be published in the ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'', an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve [[Wikipedia]] by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

&nbsp; All questions are individually optional, and this entire [[exit poll]] itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

=== The questionnaire ===
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide ''not'' to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is [[Not even wrong|not well-posed]]" / "other: please specify". Although the ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'' cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

[edit]
Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
