[WikiEN-l] Thank you, thank you!
Dear Wikipedia contributors, We did it! For the past six weeks, you have all graciously tolerated my emails requesting participants for my undergraduate senior thesis projecthttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Motivations_to_Contribute_to_Wikipedia on users’ motivations to contribute to Wikipedia. On Monday, I reached out to this community, begging for just eighteen more participants to reach my target sample size of 100 respondents. We not only reached that goal, but exceeded it: 161 Wikipedia contributors responded to my questionnaire! Your insightful responses are invaluable to my project and I cannot express my gratitude for this community enough, so thank you, thank you, thank you! When my final paper is written in June, I will make it available to the Wikipedia community. Thank you once again for your insight, thoughtful questions, and feedback. Best, Audrey ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
[WikiEN-l] We're Almost There!
Dear Wikipedia contributors, In the past few weeks, I have reached out to this community on numerous occasions, requesting help with my undergraduate honors thesis, which examines Wikipedians’ motivations to contribute. For anyone who would like more information about this project, a detailed description can be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Motivations_to_Contribute_to_Wikipedia . In my last email, I mentioned that I hoped to attain a sample size of at least 100 Wikipedians, but had only received 52 responses. I am ecstatic to report that I now have 82 responses – just 18 responses short of the targeted sample size. If you have not taken the questionnairehttps://us1.us.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8ixU9RkozemzC4s, please consider donating approximately five minutes of your time to complete it. I am so grateful for the Wikipedia community’s support in this project and will make a final draft of the paper available to the community. If you have any questions or concerns about this study, please contact Audrey Abeyta at audrey.abe...@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your participation!
