yes, that's the rule we tacitly agreed upon (and applied a few times) in the past

don't this as a problem. Anyone else have an opinion on the matter?

Thx Aaron - got it. Ok, let's see how this one goes.
BTW, it's been a while since I have started planning a social science study on
Wikipiedians, and it might be possible that at some point I will need subject recruiting.
I am at the beginning of the process so we're talking months here before I actually
decide to conduct the study. Does my membership in RComm interferes with doing a Wikipedia
related research on my own? Please advise.
Best,
Goran

That's massive as far as editors are concerned in enwiki. The closest applicable
policy (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CANVAS) only makes general statements about
what might be considered a "Mass posting", but I'm pretty sure that
Wikipedians rarely expect to see a user go from a single digit edit count to 500 from
User_talk page postings in the course of a day.
Although I don't expect this to be truly disruptive to editors, I expect that many
alarms will go off when the talk postings begin to be posted since the activity will be so
unusual.

Ok Aaron, I am on it. I don't see any problem with this research and my vote to go on
with it (changed on the project's talk page already made).
BTW: "...since it represents the first mass recruitment request (200-300 responses
needed)."
Q: what is "massive" in the recruitment request for 200-300 respondents
online?
Best,

I was hoping to close this poll hours ago, but we only have three members of RCom
participating (thanks Yaroslav and Steven!).
It is absolutely crucial that if we end up technically approving this study methodology
that such approval actually reflects the consensus of RCom members.
For your benefit, I'll summarize the proposed plan:
A request to participate in a survey about enforcing conformance with community/group
outcomes needs 200-300 responses from general Wikipedia editors. Invitations to take the
survey will be posted an editors' User_talk pages. A pilot set of 15 requests will be
posted immediately following approval from RCom to test for problems and determine the
expected response rate. Afterwards, up to 500 User_talk postings will be made (depending
on response rate) to illicit enough responses to give statistical confidence.
This is the first proposed project of this scale that we are reviewing for approval so I
really want to make sure we are doing it right.

Hey folks,
This proposal is an important milestone for our subject recruitment processes, since it
represents the first mass recruitment request (200-300 responses needed). I'm hoping
to either show a high level of support with this poll or discover what problems still need
to be dealt with.
I'd like to close the poll by Wednesday @ noon UTC. Please make sure to chime in.
