[WikiEN-l] Request to help research group by providing feedback on Wikipedia-based visualizations

[Commprac]

Hello!

I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In  
April, we met with some local Wikipedians to learn what they would  
like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within  
Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal of those  
sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application  
that could quickly communicate useful information about other  
Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent  
some of what our participants thought was important. We would  
appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an  
online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be  
useful to you.  Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our  
research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code  
for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to  
use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

(One of our participants, an admin, recommended that we post this  
message to this mailing list.  We've been getting really thoughtful  
and informative feedback, and hope you'll want to contribute to this  
project, too!)

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Please visit https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/commprac/78947

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more  
feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes  
less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university  
research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research  
or research group, our username is Commprac01 and we can be reached at commprac at u.washington.edu 
.

Thanks!
