Talk:Survey about Wikipedia

The attached resource page was created by a blocked user, User:Thekohser, who self-reverted as a demonstration of cooperation with the block. I do not consider self-reverted edits, unless clearly and seriously disruptive in themselves, as a violation of any ban, because they leave behind no possible mess to clean up.

Any editor may revert this back in, taking responsibility for it being non-disruptive. I do not consider the page disruptive, based on what I've seen, but I have not had time to thoroughly review it. I do have questions, though. How was this data obtained, and who ran the survey? Thekohser may answer on his Talk page (User talk:Ethical Accountability)or, self-reverted, here. If we come to the point that self-reversion seems like a silly and unnecessary formality, I assume that we would be ready to unblock Thekohser, who is already demonstrating the cooperation with the community that has been, too often, missing from some blocked editors.

Ratio of male:female subjects in Wikipedia BLPs

A recent study found that 81% of biographies of living people on Wikipedia are about males. This dovetails with the gender skew shown among editors in the data here. -- Thekohser 18:41, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

familiarity breeds respect?

Interesting work. Skimming through the data and looking at the examples where people have least confidence in Wikipedia I think see a correlation between never using Wikipedia and having less confidence in it. Would it be fair to conclude from this that the people who use Wikipedia have more confidence in it than those who don't? WereSpielChequers 14:14, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
