Administrative Glitch
by Dave Menninger 11 May '12

11 May '12

Dear Wikimedians in Ohio, Thanks for being on this mailing list. I apologize for not performing my admin duties properly up until now. I had a technical issue logging into the admin interface that is cleared up now. That is the reason you're seeing a number of old messages flood in today. From now on messages should arrive in a timely fashion. ~Dave

Thank you, thank you!

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 project<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Motivations_to_Contribute_to_Wikipe…> 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

We're Almost There!

Dear Wikipedia contributors, In the past few weeks, I have reached out to this community on numerous occasions, requesting help with my undergraduate honors thesis, which examines Wikipedians’ motivations to contribute. For anyone who would like more information about this project, a detailed description can be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Motivations_to_Contribute_to_Wikipe… . In my last email, I mentioned that I hoped to attain a sample size of at least 100 Wikipedians, but had only received 52 responses. I am ecstatic to report that I now have 82 responses – just 18 responses short of the targeted sample size. If you have not taken the questionnaire<https://us1.us.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8ixU9RkozemzC4s>, please consider donating approximately five minutes of your time to complete it. I am so grateful for the Wikipedia community’s support in this project and will make a final draft of the paper available to the community. If you have any questions or concerns about this study, please contact Audrey Abeyta at audrey.abeyta(a)gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know about a survey that I am running for female contributors to any Wikimedia project. It is being ran by me as an independent volunteer, *not* on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dDR3a3JfaTd0a… If you are a female contributor and you are comfortable working in English, please participate, and if you know any female contributors, please share it with them. Thanks so much!
