Welcome[edit]

Hello, Jmbbmj, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Active Banana ( ^bananaphone 16:29, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Research about virtual communities[edit]

I am doing a research about virtual communities for my doctorate. I would like to study how the members define norms for the community. I would appreciate your contribution for my research. If I agree to participate, I will send you the questions. Jmbbmj (talk) 16:33, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's fine. Send me an email with your details, and we can discuss things further. SilkTork *^YES! 17:01, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the questions you ask are general enquiries about Wikipedia process, or are more related to Wikipedia process than to an individual's reaction to that process. There are individual questions, yet there are also questions to which the answer will be to point you to existing Wikipedia guidelines. Is your intention to gain some general understanding of how Wikipedia forms guidelines (which are what I think you are calling "norms", though I am not clear as you haven't given a frame of reference), and then how individuals take part in and respond to the creation, upholding and modifying of these guidelines? If you give me some context for the questions and what your general aims are perhaps I can help you better. Which university are you attached to?

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 11:49, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

September 2011[edit]

Please do not use talk pages for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.

Research questions[edit]

Hello, Has your research topic been proposed to the Wikimedia Foundation's research committee? The standard practice is that prior to soliciting for participants, you run it through that committee. If you haven't already done so, I would request that you stop recruiting until the research committee has signed off on it. You can find their information at meta:Research.
