Hi Stuart,
Yes, all those terms refer to a Wikipedia account. My plan is to avoid
sampling accounts with very low activity (probably less then a minimum
threshold of edits) because of the impracticality to draw any conclusion
from them.
Best,
Kiril

When you say "participant", "user"
and "editor" do you actually mean
account?
I routinely notice what appear to be people attending real-file events
using one account but then editing afterwards with a different
account.
cheers

Hi all,
I am currently working on a research concerned with modelling user
behaviour on Wikipedia. The idea is to design a field experiment over a
random sample of Wikipedians in order to examine their risk preferences
and
define (dis)utilities that will be used in a
utility-maximisation model.
I have already submitted an abstract that got accepted for the
biennial Foundations
of Utility and Risk Conference 2020 <https://www.furconference.org/>
and my
future plans include presentation of the concept
at other research
conferences (including Wikimania 2020).
You can visit the project page

of this research on Meta. Your questions and comments are welcome at any
time. Thank you!
Best regards,
Kiril
