User talk:KatherinePanciera

Interesting to read about your study. Would you be available for an interview about your work at [1]?

You might also be interested in [2]. One of my longer term efforts is to start a "Wikipedia Institute" that would interface with studies like yours and aid in the research, and conduct our own research projects. We currently are trying to get something started on a small scale about dispute resolution, associated with the work of User: Leafman, as you can see at [3].-Filll (talk) 11:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, KatherinePanciera. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion can be found under the topic canvassing. BoL (Talk) 04:28, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Please discontinue mass-posting

Edits such as this constitute canvassing under Wikipedia's guidelines, so I'd like to kindly ask you to stop. Users aren't permitted to use Wikipedia as a forum to attain participants in events outside Wikipedia, or even within Wikipedia. Users' talk pages are generally only to be used for collaboration on the encyclopedia. Thanks for your understanding, and please let me know if you have any questions, either by posting them here or on my talk page. Equazcion •✗/C • 04:34, 4 Apr 2008 (UTC)

Hi Katherine. As someone above mentioned, there is a currently a discussion regarding you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents - despite the name "administrators' noticeboard", anyone can post there. I don't agree with all of what Equazcion says above - other editors may or may not agree. However, not many administrators or editors have commented yet, so I'd suggest you wait before furthering the disputed action (messages to other editors regarding your study). Hope this helps. I'd also be willing to answer questions. (You might just want to post your questions here so multiple editors can chime in. :-) Cheers, Iamunknown 05:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, you might find Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikidemia useful. They specialize in writing articles about Wikipedia, so they might be helpful to talk to. At the least, it might provide a place to find study particpants without posting on numerous talk pages. (Although I have to say, I'm not convinced that what you've done really constitutes disruptive canvassing). Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 05:15, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

There's no disagreement that the action of posting 50 advertisements for a study is not proper. This is not in dispute. Please don't continue to do that. Whether or not it falls under WP:CANVAS specifically is possibly questionable, but either way, mass-posting advertisements like this is not proper use of talk pages. Thanks.
