Mike Godwin says: +++++++++ You should publish the results of your statistical research of high-school-teacher attitudes toward Wikipedia. It will be especially useful if you have a large sample size and minimal selection bias. +++++++++ Of course, I never said my anecdotal experience represented a statistically sound research initiative. However, sample sizes and selection bias are actually a bit of my professional expertise. I have already conducted two quantitative studies of Wikipedia-related data -- one about 100 articles about the U.S. senators, and another (not so rigorous) assessment of 10 new articles selected with little to no bias whatsoever. The WikiEN-l mailing list moderators refuse to publish a short post informing the community about that second study. I'm not sure why not, as they refuse to say. Great "open" and "democratic" community you work for here, Mike. Both of these previous assessments I conducted for free. No more. I would actually enjoy (as I've e-mailed you privately) expanding the scope of my latter study to include perhaps 200 new articles. But, that work on my part will cost the Foundation a $1,000 stipend. That's a bargain for such a study. Or, you can try to find a volunteer who will do it for a barnstar, but they might botch the sampling design. If you prefer a statistically sound survey of 300 high school teachers regarding opinions and usage of Wikipedia, that would be more expensive. I could still get the job done for a mere $4,000, though -- about one-quarter the rate you'd pay with a full-service marketing research firm. Or, again, you could go the barnstar route with someone else. Offers are on the table. Your move. Greg
