Re: [Wiki-research-l] Retention of Wikimedians for the long term

Jana, would you be willing to have a conversation in June or July about your research? I read it awhile ago and I've been pondering how to best apply it to ENWP. Perhaps we could have a Hangout meeting? I'd be glad to have the meeting be public, in a similar style to a Research office hour,

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Retention of Wikimedians for the long term

I actually suspect that Twinkle is ones of the causes of the famous flattening of the growth that happened in 2007. Twinkle was introduced around the same time. Telling new people they are doing something wrong became too easy, and sticking around became less fun. Though operated by humans,

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Retention of Wikimedians for the long term

Agreed. Here we are dealing with sufficiently motivated users (for whatever reason they have survived the newbie phase). Here we use the triggers to praise (to hopefully increase motivation) and offer to increase their ability, usually by drawing them into some specialised community/activity.

It should be possible to inform Commons uploaders if their images are used on Wikipedia, and include the language. This would be especially helpful for Commons uploading contests such as Wiki Loves Monuments On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 10:38 AM, Amir E. Aharoni < amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il> wrote:
