Hi Platonides, thanks for your work on this, it looks great. Just a couple of small details: I thought about having our suggestions (Select all that apply, You can leave that field empty, etc.) moved below the questions, and marked with a grey font (I see you use CSS for that, so it should be

Just as a short remark: Most question suggestions are quite good... but we should really really limit the survey to about 15 questions like last year. Having a short survey proved to be very helpful in the number of responses (got good feedback on that). I'm already having fights with Tomasz about

Hi Racso, This is unfortunately how Guinness World Records works. The record has to go to an organization (legal entity) or person that actually organized it. Wikimedia Nederlands, as the official organizer of the international part of the competition, is the organization that comes closest to
