Hello everyone!
We are working on the project Scribe http://tinyurl.com/WikipediaScribe that aims to support editors in creating new, high-quality articles with a focus on currently under-resourced Wikipedia communities. To start this project, I would like to ask you for two favours:
(1) We have a 5-minute survey, that we would like you to fill to give us an insight into your opinions on the project. The survey can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/WikipediaScribeSurvey
(2) We are conducting a set of interviews with editors of different Wikipedias to gain an understanding of how you are currently edit, find references etc. The interviews are conducted remotely via Skype and take around 30 minutes. We would talk about your editing and referencing in Wikipedia. Please contact me if you are available to participate in one of our interviews, it would be highly appreciated! You can also sign up for the interview in our sheet here: https://forms.gle/rwRpKH1EqJGM423Y6 More information about the interviews can be found in the participant information sheet: https://github.com/luciekaffee/Scribe/blob/master/Interviews/participant-inf...
I am very much looking forward to the start of the project and supporting a new great editing experience! If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Thanks, Lucie

I would love to learn more about the result of this part of your research. The process through which an article is written by editors is currently unknown for research purposes. We do have speculations or personal experiences we can partially learn from, but they may not be representative of the way Wikipedia is edited across many languages and people. Also, if I can help with something for the interview questions themselves or you just want to have a chat about it, please ping.
Best, Leila
