Dario, "People in my field are not allowed to write about their original research in Wikipedia" 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 _______________________________________________ RCom-l mailing list RCom-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/rcom-l
