I also find it very interesting.
I have, however, asked Laura to redact the identifying information of one of the editors whose actions are incorporated into this research. Research rarely includes publishing identifying information about specific individuals, particularly without the direct permission of those individuals. Regardless of what any of us think of the specific editor who is named, it behooves us all to act as we would expect to be treated - and I'd be pretty ticked if someone published research that included examples that identified me by name.

A very interesting study, and rather depressing. I love that I'm cited as a "radical feminist" though :)

Hey,
I posted some new research to meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Communicating_on_Wikipedia_while_fe... . It is titled: Communicating on Wikipedia while female A discursive analysis of the use of the word cunt on English Wikipedia user talk pages. Thought it might be of some interest to people on this list.
Sincerely, Laura Hale
