WIGI: Wikipedia Gender Index is an Individual Engagement Grant that seeks to automate the production and graphing of statistical presentation of gender in articles by date of birth, place of birth, citizenship, ethnicity, occupation, and Wikipedia language - in a publicly viewable website with open-data downloads.
The purpose of this survey is to find out what kind of information users would like captured, ideally about the state of Wikipedia biographies. We will use it to inform what statistics our portal will show and provide a final report on the observed trends at the end of the year.
Please help us out by completing this brief survey, which should take not more than 5 minutes to complete. Simply click on the link below, or cut and paste the bare URL into your browser to access the survey:

I find this paper quite an interesting read:
A Latent Space Analysis of Editor Lifecycles in Wikipedia
Xiangju Qin, Derek Greene, Pádraig Cunningham
arXiv:1407.7736v1
In it, the authors suggest that Wikipedians who are focused tend to stay longer editing the encyclopedia and they’ve actually shown that understanding patterns of change in user behavior can be of practical importance for community management and maintenance.
Regrettably, its filled with heavy jargon and statistical models but it might just be useful to those working on the Editor Retention Program?

Dear all,
In an effort to “Assess Academic Perceptions of Wikipedia and its Impact on Online Research”, I am conducting a research study and running a survey with academicians in Ghana as my target population.
I am soliciting responses from Researchers/Faculty members/Students as their feedback will help us understand and move forward with policy debate on the use of Wikipedia as an Academic Source of Reference.
Please help out by completing this brief survey (feel free to forward this email as well), which should take less than 15 minutes to complete. Simply click on the link below, or cut and paste the entire URL into your browser to access the survey:
