Hi Ziko,
DE wiki has instituted a system called flagged revisions, which means
that every newby edit there gets checked, but only gets checked once.
This has various advantages over the EN system where some new edits
are checked many times and others slip through unnoticed. One theory
is that good edits are less likely to be reverted if they are only
checked once, as there is only one chance of a mistake...... This is
one of the cross wiki research projects where it would be really
helpful to have an independent researcher do a study.

Dario,

I see what you mean. "People in my field" sounded to me as if they are
not allowed because of their colleagues. Maybe: "People in my field
dislike it that they cannot write in Wikipedia about their original
research".
WereSpielChecquers,
Interesting, I hardly ever saw such reverts in de.wp. It seems to be a
more technical problem; again, it is the question if experts really
anticipate such "barriers" to contributing.
Kind regards
Ziko

Hi Ziko,
I stumbled over this; one is not supposed to
write about OR in Wikipedia.
precisely, and that's what makes it an important barrier to researchers. Just to
clear any confusion, the goal of the survey is not to suggest we should change WP to
accommodate more experts but to help us understand what may or may not work as an
effective recruitment strategy. Does that make sense?
Best,
Dario
