Linken

Ik wil niet zeuren, maar vraag me af waarom je overduidelijke links foutief 'corrigeert', bv [1]. Als er staat in het dorp X dan is een link naar X (gemeente) minder passend dan X (plaats) toch? Michiel1972 22 jan 2012 14:27 (CET)

Request for Interview Regarding Wikipedia Bots

Greetings Foxie001-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a graduate student at the University of Oregon, currently collecting data for my dissertation on Wikipedia editors who create and use bots and assisted editing tools, as well as editors involved in the initial and/or ongoing creation of bot policies on Wikipedia. As a member of the bot community and bot operator, I would very much like to interview you for the project at a time and in a method that is most convenient for you (Gchat, another IM client, Skype, email, telephone, etc.). I am completely flexible and can work with your schedule. The interview will take approximately 45-60 minutes.

My dissertation project has been approved both by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Oregon, and by the Research Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information on the project on my meta page.

If you would like to participate, please leave a message on my talk page or email me. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you to set up a time to chat. Thank you very much.

Randall Livingstone, School of Journalism & Communication, University of Oregon
