[WikiEN-l] Wiki Research

[James Sutton]

Hi

My name is Jim Sutton and I'm undertaking research in the School of Library,
Archive, and Information Studies, UCL.

http://www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/

My research involves studying wiki usage, the reasons why individuals use wikis
and the benefits/disadvantages of using wikis to manage knowledge.

I was wondering if you would agree to my analysing your contributions to
Wikipedia. This will basically involve calculating how many times you've
contributed to Wikipedia within the time period of a week.

I was also wondering what your reasons are for using/contributing to Wikipedia.

I'd be extremely grateful for any feedback you can provide. If you agree to my
analysing your contributions then please email me with your Wikipedia username.

I also have a survey online which I'm using as part of my research at:

My Wikipedia username is Sutton4019 and my research is being carried out jointly
with Melissa Terras at UCL. Her email address is m.terras at ucl.ac.uk .

If you have any questions please let me know and thank you for your time.

Kind Regards

Jim Sutton
