==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:AAA logo.gif==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:AAA logo.gif]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:No fair -->[[User:BetacommandBot|BetacommandBot]] ([[User talk:BetacommandBot|talk]]) 18:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:William Steinberg]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:William Steinberg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A1|section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0|Article Wizard]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:William Steinberg|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:William Steinberg|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you.<!-- Template:Db-nocontext-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Rockstone35|Rockstone]] ([[User talk:Rockstone35|talk]]) 21:48, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia! 
*If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]] is for you.	 
*You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
*If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the [[Wikipedia:votes for deletion|votes for deletion]] page. There is also a [[Wikipedia:votes for undeletion|votes for undeletion]] page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
*If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an [[IRC]] client (or don't mind getting one), check out the [[WP:NCH|Bootcamp]]. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
*If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the ''Random page'' button in the sidebar, or check out the ''Open Task'' message in the [[Wikipedia:Community Portal|Community Portal]].

== MSU Interview ==

Dear BrokenSegue,

My name is Jonathan Obar [[user:Jaobar]], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community,  and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-_New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:
* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name[[User:Jaobar/Admins_to_Interview_List_1|HERE]] instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --[[User:Jaobar|Jaobar]] ([[User talk:Jaobar|talk]])23:23, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

==Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year]] (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return&nbsp;if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated&nbsp;should this occur, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at [[WP:RFA]]. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->[[User:MadmanBot|MadmanBot]] ([[User talk:MadmanBot|talk]]) 00:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, BrokenSegue. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|TOTP]] based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the [[Help:Two-factor authentication|developing help page]] for additional information. '''Important''': Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable.

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''New Page Reviewer''']], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|PERM]]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|here]] but very often a friendly custom message works best. 

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at [[WT:NPR]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

: All administrators are receiving it.

; What prompted you to send this message?
: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised.  The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]].  In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account.  The committee has updated its guidelines.  Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.

; What do I need to do?
: Only to follow the instructions in this message.
:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
:# Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
:# Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.

; How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
: You can find out more about 2FA at [[m:2FA]].

== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|two-factor authentication]] remains an ''optional'' means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. 

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered. 

For the Arbitration Committee, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

 By the morning of November 12, it became clear that forces friendly to Lott held the city of Santos and that they would not allow the Tamandaré to land. Defeated, Luz ordered the ship to return to Rio. On his arrival, Luz was met by Lott's army and was forced to promise to resign the presidency before he disembarked. Luz had been president for just three days.

== Help needed on YouTube subscriber-views updating at [[:Brendan Kavanagh]] ==

Hello BrokenSegue. I got your name from the thread at Project_YouTube about the automation of subscriber counts [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_YouTube/Archive_2#Upcoming_transition_to_automated_updating_of_subscriber_counts]. I need some help to sort out [[:Brendan Kavanagh]]. The YouTube data for him on Wikidata [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q65966769] was last updated in February 2023, but there are a couple of other older entries. When I preview the article to include <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:YouTubeSubscribers|subCountNice}}</nowiki></code> it says 1.96 million, which is what is in Wikidata as of February 2023. The article itself, however, displays the number of subscribers that is manually set in the infobox. I am out of my element in wikidata and can't make sense of all the IDs and social media accounts and ranking, etc. Can you help me sort out what could be preventing the data from being updated on wikidata and in the infobox? If there is someone else I should ask, please let me know. Thanks. &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 01:22, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

:{{re| Archer1234}} i believe the issue is that the infobox currently defaults to the value that is manually set. to get it to consume the wikidata value you have to remove the manually set value. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 01:26, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
::OK, but then it shows the subscriber data from Wikidata that is a year old?.  Other than removing the manually set subscriber count from the infobox, is there anything else that needs to be done to enable the data on wikidata to be updated automatically? &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 01:32, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
:::{{re|Archer1234}} there is a bot that updates the subscription data on wikidata. I'm not sure why this one didn't get updated. I'll take a look at that. For now I manually updated it with the current value. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 01:38, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
::::Super. I am hesitant to make the change to the infobox until you verify that the bot is actively updating the data. Do I understand correctly that the frequency of updates is twice a week?
::::Also, is there a corresponding capability to update the number of views automatically?
::::Thank you for your help. &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 01:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
:::::the number of view isn't currently doable because wikidata lacks a property to track that but it would be easy to add if someone were to put in the effort.
:::::I'm checking right now why it wasn't working and I'll get back to you.
:::::Yes it runs fairly frequently but it only updates when the number is 10% greater than the previous number. see [[wikidata:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Frequency of YouTube follower count data]] for a discussion on this.
:::::I will say that I think doing this in wikidata is better even if it's not automated is that it means other language wikis can source this information for free (though at the moment they aren't to my knowledge) [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 01:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
::::::{{re|Archer1234}} ok I think I fixed the issue. Let me know if there's items that haven't been updated that should've been. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 07:15, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
:::::::Many thanks. I am curious as to what you did to fix the issue. I saw some updates on Wikidata to include "±9,999" in the subscriber count (e.g., [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q65966769&diff=prev&oldid=2060721857]). Is that the key thing that reenables automatic updates? I am asking because that would be an easy thing for me to fix if I come across similar situations in other channels. &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 16:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
::::::::I thought that was the issue but it wasn't. I think the issue is that it was always doing the channels in the same order and then it was crashing for reasons I don't understand so a large number of them were never being reached. I think I fixed the issue but I'll be honest I don't fully understand what was going on. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 18:35, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
::::::I read the discussion, and it concludes: {{tq|quotes=yes|Update items with Wikipedia articles whenever their subscriber count has changed by at least 10% or has surpassed a new factor of 10 milestone (100k, 1M, 10M, etc.); update other items once per year}}. 
::::::[[:Sailing La Vagabonde]] is an example where the subscriber count in YouTube (1.85M) is not 10% more than what is in wikidata (1.82M). Does it have to get to 1.9M before it will be updated automatically? Or is it at 2.0M (which itself is not more than 10% of the currently stored count)?
::::::Also, do I understand the decision correctly that if it is not updated after a year, then it will be updated at that time? &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 19:28, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
:::::::{{re|Archer1234}} As currently implemented it will not get updated at 2MM because that isn't a factor of 10 (that would be 10MM). It would next update at 2.03 or so (10% higher than the current value). The logic in the code is <code>int(math.log10(old_sub_count)) < int(math.log10(new_sub_count)) </code> (if you can read python). But I believe we could have some flexibility here. Mainly we don't want wikidata to be floodded with way too many updates but we want this to be useful to enwiki. And yes after a year it should update no matter what. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 20:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
::::::::Just a follow-up regarding Sailing La Vagabonde. It has been over a year since the YouTube subscribers has been updated at [[:Wikidata:Q85799180|Sailing La Vagabonde on Wikidata]]. I would have expected it to have been updated by now (a week after the one-year anniversary of the last time it was updated on Feb. 17, 2023). I am not asking to have it manually updated as I could do that. I just want to know if I am misunderstanding when and under what conditions it should be updated and to know if there is something preventing BorkedBot from making the update. I am holding off updating the Infobox at [[:Sailing La Vagabonde]] to remove the manually set value for subscribers until I am confident the process for updating is working. Thanks. &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 14:56, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::You have not misunderstood how this is supposed to happen. In practice the annual updates were run manually by me and I was a little behind doing that. I just kicked it off. I have since set up the annual updates to be checked once per month. The annual updates are quite slow (there are 10s of thousands to do) so I don't want to run those weekly though if needed that could be done. You can find the automatic cron job for doing the annual updates monthly at [https://github.com/derenrich/borked-bot/blob/master/etc/yt-fol-cron-all.yaml]. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 17:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::Ah. Ok. Monthly is probably fine especially if the job takes a while to complete. I can live with that. I just wanted to be sure my expectations were set and wouldn't worry or be puzzled why data wasn't being updated. I presume this monthly job checks for the one year, 10% increase, or 10X factor milestones? &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 17:52, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::so it's a little complicated. a weekly job checks for the 10% and milestones (only for items with enwiki articles). a monthly job checks for the 1 year condition (for all items, not just enwiki). and there's actually a third job but that one shouldn't be relevant for enwiki cases. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 18:00, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::The YouTube social media followers for Sailing La Vagabonde at [[:d:Q85799180]] still hasn't updated even though it is 1 year and two months beyond when it was last updated. Any idea as to why? I am holding off updating the infobox on corresponding enwiki article to pull data from Wikidata until I am confident that the process for updating is operating reliably. Thanks. &nbsp;&mdash; <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:#dfab7f">[[User:Archer1234|<span style="color:white">'''Archer1234'''</span>]]</span> ([[User_talk:Archer1234|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Archer1234|c]]) 17:42, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::{{re|Archer1234}} according to the logs the job should've run a week ago (it runs weekly). I'm not sure why it didn't get updated. I kicked it off manually. We'll see in a few hours if that was enough. Looking at the job history logs it seems it did get kicked off but crashed. Unfortunately there there are no logs for why it crashed. You can see that at least until it did crash it was [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q6374266&diff=2133704488&oldid=2006861215 making progress]. My best guess is there's some malformed wikidata item which is doing something I didn't expect and when it reaches it it crashes. I'll check the logs later today to see what happens. [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 19:17, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]

== Add a Fact survey and thank you ==

Thank you for testing out the [[:en:User:DErenrich-WMF/Add A Fact Experiment|Add A Fact browser extension]]! This extension was developed as an experiment by the [[:m:Future Audiences|Future Audiences team]] at the Wikimedia Foundation to learn about new ways of contributing to Wikipedia from outside of our website/apps.

We are planning to wrap up this experiment '''this December''', sunsetting the extension and publishing our findings on-wiki. We’d like to invite you to take part in an exit survey to tell us more about your experience of trying out the extension, and to share any ideas you have about how to support new ways of contributing to Wikipedia. The survey is anonymous (see the survey [[:foundation:Legal:Add-A-Fact Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]]) and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete. 

You can [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrBucZps2Kx34W2F6MVA1kMoYB8tQXEQMkmPFFPzYIYo6xsA/viewform take the Goole Forms survey here].

== Interested in participating in an interview study regarding LLMs? ==

Dear @[[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]],

It is our pleasure to invite you to join a study at the University of Minnesota! The objective of the study is to understand how large language models (LLMs) impact the collaborative knowledge production process, by investigating knowledge contributors’ interactions with LLMs in practice.

If you have used LLMs (e.g., GPT, Llama, Claude...) in the process of contributing to Wikipedia (eg. grammar check, finding resources, writing scripts...), we’d love to join the study! You will be engaging in a 45-60 min interview (either through Zoom meeting or email), talking and reflecting about your experience with Wikipedia and your perception/usage of LLMs in Wikipedia. Your valuable input will not only help us understand practical ways to incorporate LLMs into the knowledge production process, but also help us generate guardrails about these practices. All participation would be anonymous.

In addition, if you know any editor who may have used LLMs during their edits, we highly appreciate it if you could share their contact with us, as we can reach out to them.

To learn more, please feel free to start a chat with me in email or take a look at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:How_LLMs_impact_knowledge_production_processes or direcly sign up: https://umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bqIjhNRg9Zqsuvs 

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

All the best, 
LLMs and knowledge production Research Team
