Hi Wikimedia NYC!

Greetings from CAT Lab, which does collaborations with the Wikimedia movement to study online behavior and help improve online spaces!

One of CAT Lab’s contractors is offering contract work to classify some data from Wikipedia http://docs.google.com/document/d/1RqP70XFmL2snHJ6EKpKlufNVs_uZwued6EW0wZoyFtk/edit?usp=sharing as part of a project to study risks to people who appear in Wikipedia biographies ($16-24hr). It is open to people who can be contractors on a 1099 basis, and Ed would be thrilled to work with people who already have substantial internet research and Wikipedia understanding. International contractors in countries with a tax treaty with the US should work fine.

Also, we are planning to use some of the information we receive to help improve the quality of Wikipedia biographies, so keep an eye out for more news on that too!

All the best,
