Dear all,
I am Cristian and I am new to this list. I am not new to the movement, I
have been part of Wikimedia Italy for the last 12 years, 7 of which I
have spent serving in the board.
I wanted to share this project that I have just proposed for a project
grant:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Community_Health_Metrics:_Understanding_Editor_Drop-off
We are team of 3 researchers from Eurecat, a research center in
Barcelona. We have quite an extensive experience doing research on
Wikipedia both on content and user interactions.
Our aim is to study editor's lifecycle to identify factors associated
with editors leaving the project and make what we discover available
through dashboards that can be used by the communities to plan further
actions.
In particular, the proposal includes a focus on gender and other factors
characterizing underrepresented groups, for example native language, or
country of origin. We plan to identify which user have disclosed
information about gender through userboxes (an approach already used in
the literature) and focus our analyses using that information.
We understand that this kind of analysis raises possible concerns
regarding privacy. For this reason, we plan to present results
aggregated and at page-level, not at editor level. We would love to hear
your feedback on these points.
We would like to involve the community as much as possible when choosing
on which metrics we should focus on, and we would like to hear your
feedback.
Thank you.
Cristian
