[Wiki Loves Monuments] Language of the survey

[Jane Darnell]

Interesting to see that over 10% of the respondents contributed to more
than one country (or at least they indicated that). I can't wait to find
out if these are the "hard-core" wikipedians (I think we got a lot of those
participating) or mostly newbies. It would be exciting to think that people
are willing to jump through hoops to share cultural heritage outside of
their home area.
