Thank-you for agreeing to participate in my study
Thank-you for agreeing to participate in my study, entitled “Online Self-presentation among Wikipedians.” I appreciate it.
As I indicated in my last message (which you have since archived), here are five short questions about your user page that I would like you to answer. These will help me to understand your motivations for creating a user page such as yours. Please be as brief or as thorough as you like.
5 QUESTIONS
1. Are you a member of social networks such Facebook or MySpace?
- A: No. I do have a rarely used Twitter account. –xenotalk 20:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
2. In addition to maintaining a user page in Wikipedia, have you also written or edited articles? If so, about how many times?
- A: I write articles rarely, edit them somewhat less rarely. I have nearly 18,000 edits to the article space [1], though I have only 500 edits to the article space in the last year. A decent number of my article space edits are administrative, rather than editorial, in nature (for example, in July 2009, I had conducted a mass rollback that accounted for over 5000 edits). –xenotalk 20:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
3. What are the key messages about yourself that you hope to convey with your user page?
- A: The primary message intended to be conveyed by my userpage are my various roles on this project. I also have included a 'randomizing userbox' element which chooses from a selection of userboxes that give visitors a glimpse of my personal interests. –xenotalk 20:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
4. Have your Wikipedia contributions ever received feedback, such as being edited by others or commented on? Have you received a message from another Wikipedia user? If so, do you think your user page positively or negatively affected what other people said and how they said it?
- A: Yes on both counts. I suppose my userpage may affect the way people approach me because I am an administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, oversighter, and arbitrator. Depending on the user this may positively or negatively affect what and how things are said. –xenotalk 20:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
5. Do you see your “online self” as being different from your “offline self?” Can you elaborate?
- A: Of course. My "online self" is named Xeno and edits/administrates an encyclopedia. My offline self is not and does no such thing =) –xenotalk 20:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Please indicate your answers to these questions on your talk page, or on mine. Please respond by October 1st so that I have time to properly read your responses. If you like, you can email your answers to me instead (jmcvea@ualberta.ca).
Thank you again : )

Study Procedures
• With your consent, I will analyze the language of your user page and gather basic statistics such as the count of words, the frequency of words, the number of sections, and so on.
• I will also read the text of your user page, looking for elements in common with ads posted by other people. I will note whether you include a picture, or links to other content on the internet.
• I ask you to answer my five questions, above. This will take about ten to fifteen minutes to complete. I will ask you to answer the questions within a week, and send your answers to me.
• Throughout my research, I will adhere to the University of Alberta Standards for the Protection of Human Research Participants, which you can view at http://www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/gfcpolicymanual/policymanualsection66.cfm
Benefits

Confidentiality
• This research will be used to support a project that is part of my MA degree.
• A summary of my research will be available on the University of Alberta website.
