Hi Wiki Research List! Are you interested to make discoveries that could help your Wiki project thrive? Let's talk! Or join us for a one-day research summit after Wikimania on August 19. Funding is available. CivilServant <http://civilservant.io/> is a research nonprofit that works collaboratively with Wikipedians to test tools and practices designed to reach the goals those communities care about most. We currently are looking to add partnerships that start in 2020. If you are an experienced Wikipedian who has helped lead initiatives in your language community - or other Wiki project - and you want to help learn how to make your community stronger, we would love to hear from you. Are you curious about what tools are effective in reaching your Wikipedia's goals? Is your community thinking about using a new or existing tool or practice? We can work with your community to design and run A/B tests to discover which practices are effective. Along the way, we also hope to contribute to science! If you are interested to speak with us, please introduce yourself here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2BwuVH34pw244D4ZoEE6MS06ZRj7XWDxpPgS-fFLmybpKSA/viewform?usp=sf_link>. We also invite you to participate in a one day Research Summit which will be held in Stockholm on August 19th <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CivilServant%27s_Wikimedia_studies/Summit_Stockholm_2019>, the day after Wikimania. We hope to welcome any Wikipedian who is interested in learning about CivilServant and how to design A/B tests (given space limitations) . Funding: We have 10 full scholarships to pay for attendance at the Research Summit and Wikimania (including airfare & accommodations) as well as 15 partial scholarships to cover the costs of staying in Stockholm two additional nights to attend the summit. We invite you to apply for either scholarship here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2BwuVH34pw244D4ZoEE6MS06ZRj7XWDxpPgS-fFLmybpKSA/viewform?usp=sf_link> . We look forward to hearing from you.
