Re: [Wiki-research-l] Sampling new editors in English Wikipedia

[Adam Jenkins]

A quick and dirty solution might be to use the hostbot list from the
teahouse at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Hosts/Database_reports The
list is regularly refreshed, so you could pull the account names from there
over the course of a month and then randomly select your sample, noting
that it is biased towards new editors that have made more than 10 edits.

Otherwise perhaps using recent changes, but filtering for logged actions by
new users?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?userExpLevel=newcomer&hidebots=1&hidepageedits=1&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&limit=50&days=7&urlversion=2

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Wiki Research Journal? - Double-blind vs. single-blind review

[Adam Jenkins]

Most of my reviewing for conference and journals was double blind, although
the effectiveness of it was always a bit questionable, as in many cases you
can, as a reviewer, identify the author from the style and argument. This
tends to get worse in specialised areas, where the pool of researchers is
necessarily small.
