Hey folks,
There's a new study[1] seeking approval from RCom to engage in subject
recruitment on English Wikipedia.
TL;DR:
- *Who:* PhD Student from University of Washington (with IRB approval)
- *What:* Wants to understand the perspectives of female editors with
regards to the experience of editing Wikipedia, dealing with masculine
culture, etc.
- *How:* Goal is 20 interviews. Starting with snowball sampling though
informant Jonathan Morgan (a Learning Strategist @ the WMF) continuing with
user talk page posts if snowballing is insufficient.
I've gone through the motions of ensuring that the study is well documented
and I've started a straw poll at the bottom of the talk page[2]. Please
take a look to see if I missed anything and add your vote. Thanks!
