There are no constrains imposed on your research outside the declaration that your project is in line with ethical requirements (more or less required by most organizations anyway).

Basically, it's a "best practices" kind of thing; you are telling Wikipedia community about your research, and in exchange, you may get some feedback from the few volunteers (often researchers themselves) monitoring those pages. Nothing more, nothing less, really.

Dear all,

   I'm Xiangju Qin, a PhD student at School of Computer Science & Informatics, University College Dublin, Ireland.

   I just joint this Wikipedia research mailing list and know little about it. I guess the members of this mailing list is a mixture of people from Wikipedia (either admins or editors), people from the academia like me. So what are the main purposes of this mailing list? Mainly discussing research (projects or papers) about Wikipedia?

   I would also like to know the following question:

   When I emailed a Wikipedia editor about his feedbacks about our paper (he made some comments about our paper in Wikipedia Signpost-Sep-24-2014), he suggested me to add my project to Wiki-research page in order to get suggestions/advice from Wikipedia people.

   I emailed my advisor about this. He said that he didn't understand the implications of adding one's project to Wikipedia research page. I don't know much about this either. Has any one in this mailing list add his own project to the Wikipedia page? Has you found it helpful and gotten much valuable suggestions/advice from the Wikipedia community about your project?

   Many thanks!

   Have a nice weekend everyone!

   Best wishes,


Xiangju
