Hi Vipul,

I anticipate that you will have to field additional questions about who you are, the purpose of your research, your methods, and your data collection and usage practices. To anticipate these questions, I strongly suggest that you create a page for your project in our research repository: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Projects#Add_your_project

Best,
Jonathan
