A request for your help with my research
[edit]Hi Refphilosopher
It's Jim here. P gave me your username. She said you wouldn't mind me contacting you and Steve about my wiki research. Below is the standard message I'm sending out to try and get some feedback. Thanks for you help R.
My research involves studying wiki usage, the reasons why individuals use wikis and the benefits/disadvantages of using wikis to manage knowledge.
I was wondering if you would agree to my analysing your contributions to Wikipedia. This will basically involve calculating how many times you've contributed to Wikipedia within the time period of a week.
I was also wondering what your reasons are for using/contributing to Wikipedia. I'd be extremely grateful for any feedback you can provide.
If you agree to my analysing your contributions and can provide any feedback as to why you contribute to Wikipedia I’d be very grateful. My email address is james.sutton (at) ucl.ac.uk and can be emailed at this address if you agree and have any feedback or questions.
I also have a survey online which I'm using as part of my research at:

My Wikipedia username is Sutton4019 and my research is being carried out jointly with Melissa Terras at UCL. Her email address is m.terras (at) ucl.ac.uk .
If you have any questions please let me know and thank you for your time. Thanks! --Sutton4019 10:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
