Risker, agree with all three of your ideas.
Q: Has any research been done re why people who grew up as girls
take the leap of faith at all, in which way they arm themselves and what makes
them stay on and remain
active?
my guess is that the official stats about the participation of women
What I'd like to see, and what I don't think has been done before, is a
survey of editors as they are editing. By that I mean, when someone saves
an edit, a box asks them What was the purpose of your edit? What made you
decide to make this edit? If it was to correct an error, how were you
alerted

When I did my oh so not scientific survey about women who edit Wikipedia
last year (and it was not an official WMF survey, this was just done by
me, a concerned editor, and the process has changed since then, so don't
plan on doing your own without going through WMF research processes,
now)

Andreas,
ffs can we have one thread where we don't talk about porn. Or if you
do think porn is a part of the gendergap, pose research questions
which will help test your hypothesis, because that is what this thread
is about.
I want research questions I can put to real academics.
Not bullshit

I think that better than ask why people don't contribute, is better tell
them why SHOULD they? For us is easier to pass by the fact that not
everyone knows why they should contribute. We should give they as much info
as possible to make them a contributor, not asking why they don't do it.
Hi Beria,
Which motivation methods do you think work well?
