I have received this kind of email too. "No",*this is not delightful
at all*. This kind of email bores me, like many other Wikipedians
(see
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Le_Bistro_du_jour#Wikimedia_Fo…).
AFAIK I don't have asked to received that kind of email, and the
definition of what you do is "spamming" (and please don't answer to
this by talking about the "opt-out" option, "opt-in" is the
respectful way of doing). Can you please stop this immediately?
I'm sorry that you received an email when you don't like to receive one.
This is not nice and I apologize for that. The opt-out option is
available through the email you have received. We will make sure you do
not receive any future research related emails if you unsubscribe. The
test on French Wikipedia is over now.
The opt-out/opt-in discussion deserves a dedicated effort considering
the needs of everyone involved. I'm committed for improving the
communications with users regarding research projects and will do what I
can on that front.
I know SF is really the "Far West" and maybe concepts like
"Netiquette"
or simply "good manners" may not have come so far... But if you judge
your action unilaterally from the communication POV (which is obviously
bad), then I'm sure you will understand what advertisement about "newly
developed spamming machine at Wikimedia Foundation" means. As far as I
can see we have enough bored people in the French speaking community to
relay this kind of message.
