Ah! thanks for more info, Max! Swati and I actually read the project proposal you are referring to and talked with Aaron about it. That study is focused on readers as far as I understand, and we figured there is no major overlap. I do hope what Swati is working on (work-in-progress in the coming 7 weeks) can help you in your research, too. :)
Back to IRC then. And good luck!
Best, Leila

Hi Leila,
First of all thank you for the quick response, and pointers to great resources on prior work. I don't think I've read all those papers, so it's a great to catch up with the prior art. I'm sorry my last message didn't explain the full context of my inquiry. I'm collecting data for a project which is directed by Julia Kamin, Nathan Matias and myself (civilservant.io) and Aaron Halfaker (WMF). We are currently finalizing an MOU with Foundation, and it looks like some of the links you provided point to Emily Harburg's work with Natha Matias as well. The idea is to actually conduct randomized trails on the effects of gratitude in *non-english* Wikipedias — this isn't an observational study[1]. We plan to co-design the study with community, so the exact parameters aren't finalized yet. In addition all the data I'm collecting at the moment is only for power analysis.
Also, chicovenacio on IRC likewise told me that the revision information tied to each thanks is not public, so that's just too bad.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Max,
Two items:
- Please review
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_thanks and ping if you want to talk so we make sure there is no duplication of efforts. :) Do you have a page somewhere that you've described more details?
- The data that you request is not public as far as I know.

Hi Everyone,
I've been performing some analysis on the "thank a user for an edit" feature which was introduced in 2013, but have run into a data
