• Comments noted and actioned as follows:

• • Leumeah railway station page: corrected link.
  • Macarthur Astronomical Society page: The correct link would be to (I believe) "International House_University_of_Sydney" but as the page is currently unavailable, I have left the link as it is for now.
  • University of Western Sydney page: corrected the link.

Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.

Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis[1][2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.

Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=53147566 (HTTPS).

Best Regards, --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 12:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 11:18, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

• This was only the first notification to me, not the second. However I completed the survey following receipt of the above message, on 2nd February 2012.

--Ggreybeard (talk) 01:48, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes i'am sorry about that. I copy-pasted the message that i used on the pilot study. Thank you very much for all the help and support :-) --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 11:00, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Invitation

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:11, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Cirt. I understand that now but I have removed the White House Astronomy Night link as it has no relevance to a group of Australian Astronomers holding lectures. :)
