Interview request

Hello,

I don't particularly see a reason to have an email discussion about your request.

As I suspect you more or less pulled names at random out of a hat from the page history of Main Page, you should know that while I am generally knowledgeable about the processes that select the content that appears on the main page, I am a subject matter expert in none of them. I can point you to the description of the processes for each, which I believe are all already linked on the main page incidentally. You should read each, and the links from each provided. I would encourage you to participate on their talk pages directly looking for knowledge that was not obvious from the links provided on each subsections' "main page" and which I likely would not be able to provide you anyway.

• Today's featured article
• Did you know
• In the news
• On this day
• Today's featured list
• Today's featured picture

Which cover the majority of "main page content". Other links are primarily provided for initial navigation and are essentially static with occasional adjustments.

If the descriptions of those processes are sufficient for cause, great! I am happy to correct obvious misunderstandings should you wish to run questions by me, but as I already suggested, their talk pages may be able to help clarify any questions you have quicker and more accurately than I will.

Hello Izno,

Thanks for your reply and for the links. I have already read them and I am familiar with them, the interview I invited you to in the context of our research on Wikipedia was not to avoid the effort of reading the written guidelines but to go deeper into certain aspects of Main Page programming from the perspective of the people involved in this voluntary work within the community.

I will take your suggestions into account and I am grateful that you took the time to answer me.

Best wishes,

Laura. Lauferagui (talk) 09:23, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Laura, I'd give you and interview if you are interested and encourage others to do so as well as I support the collaboration between educational institutions and wikipedia. I've sent you an email.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:46, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Paradise Chronicle, Thank you very much for your support! I will reply to your email right now. Best regards. Lauferagui (talk) 14:13, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Laura — like Izno, I'm not a Main Page specialist, but I am knowledgeable about it the different processes that lead to content appearing on it. I'm happy to answer questions and give thoughts; feel free to email me if you're still looking for participants and we can arrange a time. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your interest in participating in the project, @Sdkb! I Would love to interview you and know more about your thoughts and experience on the issue. However, I have tried to email you but I think it is blocked, as I could not access your email. Could you please email me directly at laurafernandez[at]ub[dot]edu or let me know your email, please? Thank you very much in advance!! Lauferagui (talk) 14:31, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
