Hi Sam at Megaputer, Sorry that it took a long while to get back to you. We talked about your question in the Research office hour today and Isaac mentioned that we have an open thread from you here as well. Here are the instructions:
My understanding is that you're requesting the researcher flag for the English Wikipedia. In this case, you should contact the English Wikipedia community directly as they handle the requests. Send a message to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous) and refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_access_levels#Researcher as the access right you're requesting. You will need to describe your project and if it is intended to help improve Wikimedia projects, please highlight that. Good luck!
