While I don't agree wit most of the criticisms (this is a survey after all, not

If you do that, you need to ask something like "How would describe the
frequency of your Commons use?" rather than "How often do you use
Commons?". It

Sometimes it's good to keep it vague -- to get people's opinions on
their own activity. Isn't the survey trying to
As an example, let's have a look at the first two questions:
1) Do you use Wikimedia Commons at all?
Choose one of the following answers
* Yes, regularly
* Yes, sometimes

our staff and implicitly Erik as lacking the experience is a bit off.
It is not only the Commons project but also the Usability Initiative and the
Strategy project that will rely largely on these numbers..
