Research:Wikipedia Readership Survey Pakistan

This page documents a completed research project.


As pointed-out here, Wikipedia is the seventh most popular website in Pakistan. There are an average of 33 million monthly page views of Wikipedia from Pakistan, but despite all of this, Pakistan­ related topics are seriously under­represented in the encyclopaedia because only few visitors are making the effort to contribute back to Wikipedia what they get out of it.

An online survey is being conducting in November 2014 for a week targeting the Wikipedia readers from Pakistan, in order to understand readers and their relationship with Wikipedia. This survey will give comprehensive analysis of Wikipedia's readers from Pakistan.
