Dario,
"People in my field are not allowed to write about their original
research in Wikipedia"
I see what you mean. "People in my field" sounded to me as if they are
not allowed because of their colleagues. Maybe: "People in my field
dislike it that they cannot write in Wikipedia about their original
research".
WereSpielChecquers,
Interesting, I hardly ever saw such reverts in de.wp. It seems to be a
more technical problem; again, it is the question if experts really
anticipate such "barriers" to contributing.
Kind regards
Ziko

Hi Ziko,
I stumbled over this; one is not supposed to
write about OR in Wikipedia.
precisely, and that's what makes it an important barrier to researchers. Just to
clear any confusion, the goal of the survey is not to suggest we should change WP to
accommodate more experts but to help us understand what may or may not work as an
effective recruitment strategy. Does that make sense?
Best,
Dario
