Hi Sam at Megaputer,
Sorry that it took a long while to get back to you. We talked about
your question in the Research office hour today and Isaac mentioned
that we have an open thread from you here as well. Here are the
instructions:
My understanding is that you're requesting the researcher flag for the
English Wikipedia. In this case, you should contact the English
Wikipedia community directly as they handle the requests. Send a
message to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)
and refer to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_access_levels#Researcher
as the access right you're requesting. You will need to describe your
project and if it is intended to help improve Wikimedia projects,
please highlight that.
Good luck!
Leila

Hello, everyone!
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Sam, and I am a data analysis
intern at a company called Megaputer Intelligence. My comapny makes a
software which which has a lot of promise in improving various Wikimedia
projects, so I am hoping that my work here will lead to a collaboration
between Megaputer and the Wikimedia foundation.
Right now I am trying to produce a better anti-vandalism bot for English
Wikipedia which involves working with a dataset of edits classified as
vandalism or not vandalism. The problem that I am having is that some of
the pages I need to access have been deleted or suppressed. Could
someone tell me where is the right place to apply for researcher rights
so that I can access these?
Thanks,
Sam at Megaputer
