Invitation to participate in user research with Wikimedia Foundation
[edit]Hello,
My name is Jahnavi and I am a design researcher at the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). The Language and Product Localization Team is conducting a study on how editors create new articles or add new sections to existing articles on Wikipedia. We’d also like you to explore some design concepts and provide feedback. Based on your experience, we believe you would be a valuable participant in this study and would like to invite you to take part in an interview to share your insights on creating new sections or articles on Wikipedia.
This study is taking place between 23rd Sept - 6th Oct. The interview lasts about 75 minutes and is conducted remotely over Google Meet in English. Please note that you would be required to share your screen to demonstrate your process and explore the design concepts. We can provide live interpretation into your preferred language upon request. We are pleased to offer a digital thank you gift through our partner service, Tremendous, for completing the interview.
If you would like to participate in an interview, please complete this short form. I will contact you using the email you provide in the form with instructions on how to participate.
If you have any questions or concerns about this research, please feel free to ask me. I look forward to hearing from you,

You provided the names of the houses commenting they were notable Christians, but didn't actually say who those notable Christians were. I'm guessing Wesley is John Wesley but not sure I could guess all the others. Doctor Livingstone, I presume? No idea whatsoeve about Bernall. Maybe link the names of the houses to the notable Christian to assist the reader? Kerry (talk) 23:58, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thx for pointing that out! Sadly I couldn’t find a reliable source, but if you can/know someone who can, let me know, or add it yourself. SabrinaSwift (talk) 02:43, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- I see User:2024 is Underway has tracked down 5 of them with citation, but "Wesley" remains unsolved ... Kerry (talk) 22:09, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
Ratings
[edit]Quality ratings are somewhat in the eye of the beholder (we all tend to think our own work is pretty good so are inclined to uprate it). Or people downrate an article because they don't find it interesting or other random opinions of their own. Meanwhile, most people simply don't bother with ratings at all. As a consequence, the rating system was very little used for years (most articles languished at stub level) until someone wrote a tool to automate the process of coming up with a rating. It's User:Evad37/rater and everyone can install it and use it (just follow the instructions at the link to install it as part of your Wikipedia account). Now you may or may not agree with its proposed rating on any particular article, but it has the beauty of being quick and easy to use and it is impartial (so avoids personal bias). According to Rater, the Brisbane Christian College rates as a B. As well as suggesting a rating, it also allows you to easily set up and update which WikiProjects are associated with the article and any subcategories within those projects, e.g. the Brisbane Christian School article should be in WikiProject Australia and in the subcategories of qld, Brisbane, and edu. So it's a really useful tool to have to update these things very easily. I note that it does not come up with an Importance assessment, probably because that is very much in the eye of the beholder as there is no clear criteria. Consequently most articles tend in languish as Low importance, so just don't worry about the importance (since hardly anyone else does). Kerry (talk) 00:26, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks! I actually want to get the article to Good Article status. SabrinaSwift (talk) 02:16, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm, be careful what you wish for. A lot of people get pretty frustrated with the GA review process. Personally I never bother, as I think it's a better use of my time to write on another topic to fill a gap than try to get a specific article to GA. But this is a person style choice.
