Dear Wikipedia contributors,
We did it! For the past six weeks, you have all graciously tolerated my emails requesting participants for my undergraduate senior thesis projecthttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Motivations_to_Contribute_to_Wikipedia on users’ motivations to contribute to Wikipedia. On Monday, I reached out to this community, begging for just eighteen more participants to reach my target sample size of 100 respondents. We not only reached that goal, but exceeded it: 161 Wikipedia contributors responded to my questionnaire!
Your insightful responses are invaluable to my project and I cannot express my gratitude for this community enough, so thank you, thank you, thank you!
When my final paper is written in June, I will make it available to the Wikipedia community.
Thank you once again for your insight, thoughtful questions, and feedback.
Best,
Audrey
Dear Audrey
I only hope that we have provided you such an quality information on the motivation of Wikipedians, you had expected, given that the readers of this maillist are not necessarily just the most ordinary and so the most representative users :).
I wish You good luck with your project and best wishes
Petr (Reo) Skupa
