Jodi, You've asked an excellent question and I'm sad to say that I don't think you'll find a good answer.
I've been working with the foundation and other interested editors to produce a policy for recruiting research participants (on and off as I have time) over the last year. You can see the current state of our work on meta (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_recruitment and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SRAG). We'd appreciate your help and ideas. It would be immensely helpful if you could give us a list of the questions you have about recruiting subjects. You could be our starting point for an FAQ :) -Aaron On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 6:18 PM, Jodi Schneider <[email protected]>wrote: > 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)?
