Hi, my idea was to display the link on every 10'000th article, not user pages, because ordinary users probably don't look much on user pages or discussion pages. The inviting text should make it clear that we are primarily conducting a survey of Wikipedia users (as opposed to contributors). This was just an idea, though... If you're looking for a way to split visitors into two identical Yes, displaying the link only to anon IPs seems a very good idea. Best wishes, Joachim -- Joachim Schroer, Dipl.-Psych.

Hello, Will you publish the raw data after finishing the paper? yes, the dataset will be available on request as soon as the paper is published/in press. Guido Hertel (my supervisor/colleague) did just that with the data from his earlier Linux study. It's not possible on server side because of caching but you could write Thanks for the links, they are most helpful. I'm confident I'd manage to come up with a JS to display a link on every 10000th instance, but to integrate it into the existing framework seems to be more complicated... ;-) In which languages do you want to do the survey? I think it should be in English, because more contributors participated in the international survey. I'm very interested but The American Psychological Association (APA) is extremely strict when it comes to publishing empirical results in one of their journals -- which we intend to do. One has to avoid every impression that those or similar results were published somewhere else before. Basically, I think that is a good policy, but you'd better check twice or three times before "going public". That said, I will have an English presentation of the results ready by the end of next month, which I am going to present at the "General Online Research" conference (http://www.gor.de/) in March. I believe that this presentation file would be a suitable format to inform participants about the results. How about an open survey where the raw data is published and everybody Once the paper is published, the data from this next planned survey would of course be available on request as well (see above).
