It really boils down to the question whether you want to help others and/or get help. See:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Researcher Based on your page here ( https://www.csi.ucd.ie/users/xiangju-qin ), I will suggest you to compare/contrast your definition/measure of Edit Longevity to Editor retention: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Editor_retention which is authored mainly by the WMF research scientist User:Halfak_(WMF) Thank you for being honest in reporting that your supervisor "didn't understand the implications of adding one's project to Wikipedia research page." You might want to tell him that * one may find related/extra/competing theories * one may find related/extra/competing findings/datasets * one may find related/extra/competing tools/methods * one may turn your tools/methods into useful dashboards for Wikipedia editors to reflect on their actions and outcomes. 2014-11-07 23:39 GMT+01:00 Xiangju Qin <[email protected]>: > Dear all, > > I'm Xiangju Qin, a PhD student at School of Computer Science & > Informatics, University College Dublin, Ireland. > > I just joint this Wikipedia research mailing list and know little about > it.
