Re. non-English Wikipedia and editor retention: I ran a large-scale field experiment in and *with* the community of Swiss editors. We show that purely symbolic awards that provide social recognition increase newcomer retention by 20%, and the effect persists for over a year after initial award receipt:

Dear all,
A Swedish professor is writing a piece on Wikipedia for Sweden's largest daily newspaper, for the upcoming 20 years anniversary. She asked me for "interesting and widespread studies" on Wikipedia – not necessarily within any certain focus.
If you would share 2 or 3 studies, that have gained some attention and that you find interesting, which would these be?
Would be very happy for any help!
