Hello, I am a researcher in the GroupLens lab (http://grouplens.org) at the University of Minnesota. You might recognize our previous work in Wikipedia like "Creating, Destroying, and Restoring Value in Wikipedia" (http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~reid/papers/group282-priedhorsky.pdf).
As part of our continuing work within Wikipedia, my colleagues and I are conducting an academic (non-commercial) user study where we have developed an interface modification that is designed to help users work together more effectively by changing the interface for reverting other editors. You can help us complete this study by installing and using our modification. If you choose to participate in the study, you will be automatically assigned a Wikipedia gadget that will consist of a subset of the modifications we have developed. As part of the study, we will be logging your usage of the tool (ie. when you are reverting other editors). Throughout the study, we will be available for tech support and bug fixes. There will be a survey at the completion and the entire tool will be made publicly available.
