[WikiEN-l] deadline extension for participation in Wikipedia study

[Kurt Jansson]

Dear English Wikipedia community,

I am conducting a study of the Wikipedia communities in six different 
languages for my diploma thesis. Please read my initial announcement for 
more information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kurt_Jansson

I owe a big "thank you" to everybody who has helped answer my questions.

So far over 50 people across six Wikipedia communities have contributed 
to their community's answers and I am grateful for their help. However, 
for the study to be comprehensive I need more people to get involved. 
Some communities also seem to need more time to discuss and work out the 
answers.

Therefore I have extended the deadline for participation until May 13th.

I have used mailing lists and village pumps to spread the announcement 
about my research questions, but every community has their own channels 
for the distribution of information. So, I ask you to help get more 
people involved to make sure the results accurately represent your 
community.

When phrasing the answers, please approach it as if you were writing a 
Wikipedia article: try to work on joint answers that your community can 
agree on. The answers don't need to be neutral in an NPOV kind of way, 
but please try to give a comprehensive picture of the processes and 
ideals of your community.

The questions can be found at

please edit the questions page to contribute.

Best wishes,
Kurt
