I am new to the list, so I hope this is the right place.
Welcome to the list :)
I'm looking for studies or good sources on what motivates the volunteer Wikipedians to become involved and stay involved in writing articles to and editing Wikipedia?
In addition to the (great) list provided by Marc, you might find these other resources useful as well:
* The "Motivation" keyword on WikiPapers: http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/Motivation
* The (very draft-y) Codex page for Contributor motivation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Codex/Motivations_of_contributors#R...
* A search for "Motivation" in the Research Newsletter archives: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=motivation&prefix=...
Hope this helps!
