Hi,
After reading an interesting related discussion on GenderGap, I have
queried the top 10 users of the thanks feature last month, on both the
English Wikipedia and Commons. Snapshot image attached and report link
below.
Perhaps someone might think of a suitable barnstar and award these
folks for "being nice"? :-)

P.S. This is a long query to run, taking 20 to 30 minutes due to the
nature of the logging tables. However if someone wanted to make a
monthly summary on-wiki somewhere, part of an active "be nice"
campaign, I would be happy to set up an automated monthly report (if
someone discovers this is already reported somewhere, that's cool we
can use that).

Hey folks,
(Cross-posted to a number of mailing lists)
Last December, I sent out an invitation to
[[m:Grants:IdeaLab/Future_IdeaLab_Campaigns|help determine future ideaLab
campaigns]] by submitting and voting on different possible topics. I'm
happy to announce the results of your participation (<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Future_IdeaLab_Campaigns/Res…>)
and encourage you to review them and our next steps for implementing those
campaigns this year. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to
participate, submit, and comment on campaign topics.
With great thanks,
Jethro

This study was recently posted to the wiki-research mail list; I think
perspectives from participants here would be valuable given the goals of
the study.
Take care,
Jethro

Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Call for Participation in Wikipedia Women Study
To: "wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <
wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
I'm currently conducting some research on self-identified women editors and
their work on Wikipedia English. Despite all the research/media discussing
how few women edit, very little is known about the experiences of women who
actively edit Wikipedia. To better understand the gender gap-- and how to
address it-- much more needs to be known about women editors' experiences
and perspectives. For more information about the study, you can visit
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Beyond_the_Gender_Gap:_Understandi…
If you are an editor who 1) self-identifies as a woman in Wikipedia, 2) has
been actively editing enwiki for 2+ years, and 3) would be willing to be
interviewed about your experiences, please consider participating. The
interview would take place over Skype, phone, or email, and your
involvement would be voluntary, confidential, and much appreciated! For
more information or to participate in the study, please email Danielle at
mcdona51(a)purdue.edu.
Warm regards,
Danielle
