Hi,

My name is Jim Maddock, and I’m with a researcher at Northwestern University working on identifying missing content on Wikipedia. As a first step, we want to talk to members of Wikipedia’s editor community to better understand how editors currently identify and add missing content. Participants must be Wikipedia editors who speak English and will be compensated for their time.

For more details about our project, please refer to our Wikimedia project meta page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Characterizing_Existing_Practices_for_Identifying_and_Mitigating_Knowledge_Gaps. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this screener and consent form https://northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_etSLO6UsrgelpmR. Additionally, Feel free to reach out to me at maddock@u.northwestern.edu if you have any thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

Cheers, Jim Maddock
