What are the recommended ways to recruit Wikipedians for a research study? My thoughts are: Specific recruitment (i.e. to particular populations/randomized samples): - email? - Talk page messages? Generic recruitment: - post to the Village Pump - post to the appropriate project mailing list(s) Does that seem right? Anybody willing to share successful email/Talk page messages (offlist is fine)? I'm particularly concerned about giving sufficient info, tone, and not being spammy (perhaps a hard balance to hit!). -Jodi _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
