User talk:Patrick McGregor

Hi Patrick,

I’m working on a research study of the artificial intelligences (AIs) that support Wikipedia. ORES is an AI hosting system that Wikipedia editors use to detect vandalism, measure article quality, and organize work lists. My team and I are reaching out to new Wikipedia editors in order to learn your point of view with regards how ORES’ AIs operate. Ultimately, our goal is to make ORES a better tool for Wikipedia editors. We’re doing this study in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation staff who maintain ORES.

Would you consider sharing your opinion via a phone or video chat? The interview should take 15-30 minutes. I’m also happy to answer any questions you have! You can email me at smit3694@umn.edu or leave a message on my Talk page.

In the meantime, see our study description at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Applying_Value-Sensitive_Algorithm_Design_to_ORES.

Thanks for your consideration!

 * Hi ! Just wanted to check back in about this. We are still interested to hear from you, and have decided to offer a $15 Amazon Gift Card as a way to thank you for your time, should you decide to participate.

I don’t want to spam you, so I won’t reach out again unless I hear back from you. Thanks for your consideration. I hope to hear from you soon to schedule an interview over phone or video chat! Best, FauxNeme (talk) 16:18, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
