Hello everyone,
We are PhD researchers at the University of Southampton working on
supporting underserved language communities in Wikipedia.
We need your help! We work on generating text and want to understand how to
support editors when creating new articles. We are currently conducting a
series of interviews to understand the needs of the community better.
We are looking for editors of Wikipedia, that would be available to do said
interviews in person (in the UK or Berlin) or via skype, in English. (The
editing will still be in Arabic of course.)
It should take about 30 minutes of your time and would get us a better
insight into how to support small-language communities better.
The interviews will take place in August and September. All of the data
will be anonymized.
Please find more information in the Participant Information Sheet:

If you want to participate and help us improving access to Wikipedia for
under-resourced language communities, just send me an E-Mail at
kaffee(a)soton.ac.uk. You don’t need any prior experience beside Wikipedia
editing.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,
Lucie (User:Frimelle)
