Hi there,

If you have taken part in one of the Wikipedia Editathons, especially the Ada Lovelace Editathons in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, I'd love to hear more about your experiences of editing Wikipedia articles. With my colleague, Dr Clare Anderson, I'm working on a small scale project where we are using a survey and interviews to capture how editing experiences change over time. If you'd like to help us with that research, you can complete the 10 minute online survey here or leave me a message on this talk page.

Looking forward to hearing from you, RuthPage (talk) 11:18, 2 June 2016 (UTC)RuthPage

Hi Ruth, yes, I have continued to edit and I now host editathons, and a Wikimedian in Residence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh

Hi Ruth - I've continued to do some editing, largely based around events we've run, and am working to secure funding for a second year of our Wikimedian in Residence. Happy to chat further if helpful! --Liz McCarthy (talk) 07:59, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ruth, I have been busy since then. I helped run the DYK page on Ada's birthday and on her 200th birthday (sadly missed by a lot of press) I initiated a talk at Wikimania Mexico which led to Rosie and I starting "Women in Red". This has become the largest wikiproject with many partner and sub projects. (>100s of new articles, >15 major editathons and 150 members) The projects aim is to fix/mitigate the gendergap that sees only 1 in 6 bios about women historically (and about 2 in 6 each day today). The project has its own pinterest pages and twitter feed. I think we have helped you with some of your projects. The first new WIR articles were those created for one of the Edinburgh/Glasgow editathons. Contacting me on my wiki page is the best method of getting my attention.... but we are busy every day on achieving Ada Lovelace Day aims. Victuallers (talk) 09:02, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ruth, Yes I was involved in the Editathon at the Royal Society. Since then we ran our own at the National Maritime Museum to edit pages associated with longitude. I've not done it myself since then but keep meaning to, Katy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katy Barrett (talk • contribs) 10:55, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ruth, yes I have continued to edit and have completed your survey. E bruton (talk) 09:45, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ruth, I have completed the survey. -- Netha   (talk)  12:48, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ruth, sorry I don't log into wikipedia much, so only just noticed your message. I presume it's way too late now for the survey? KarenLMasters (talk) 09:33, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Ada Lovelace Editathons
Ruth, I cannot recall attending in person, but may have edited something. LoopZilla (talk) 21:51, 11 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Ruth, I participated online, but I'm happy to chat if that would be useful for you. Kind regards, Raystorm   (¿Sí?)  16:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Editathon survey
Hi there,

I just saw your message about the research survey. I've had a look at it and was wondering if you could give me some background info about the project? Thank you. Shiningroad (talk) 22:22, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm also interested - been involved in editathons a bit. --Vickytnz (talk) 17:48, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Note on my page re #wikiwomeninred
Pleased to talk to you. In fact I'm local to you and I'm interested in creating an academic paper, so more than willing to assist you. Victuallers (talk) 14:33, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
