We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming edit-a-thons, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities.

We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 19:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 19:36, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Ewitch51, thank you for reaching out. Do to the nature of some of my edits I prefer maintaining somewhat anonymous here, so I can't handle a recorded online interview. But wishing you all the best in your study, we definitely need a design and culture change here on WP. Jooojay (talk) 19:52, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for replying! Just to clarify, everything will be anonymized, and nothing a participant is not comfortable with will be published. However, I totally understand the desire for privacy and anonymity! Thanks for the well-wishes and response Ewitch51 (talk) 19:55, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
