Interesting

Very interesting proposal. I might be interested. Note I am male, white, straight and cis, though... OTOH, I find discrimination both ignorant and abhorrent. And baffling... The gender gap should not exist, yet it does. Any attempt to correct this can only be a good thing Iadmc (talk) 01:04, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for putting the time to read it and leaving a comment here, Iadmc. :) I would not take into account the demographics of the people who are up for helping at this point (and thanks for bringing that up, btw). I can see how it can be interesting to learn, for example, if there is a difference in response level based on the different demographic profiles of teammates. If we have enough data we can look into it, but at this point, that complicates/constraints the research too much. I'll wait for a week for others to leave feedback here as well and then will get in touch with you and other interested people to figure out how to move forward with this. :) --LZia (WMF) (talk) 01:13, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's a great idea and I look forward to seeing the detailed experimental design. It would be great to see an combinatoric design which was implicitly intersectional. I recommend that you consider what effect, if any, trolls and those gaming the system are likely to have on the experimental design. Feel free to ping me when you're signing up support teams.
