Hi,
I apologize again for any community norms I may have violated in an attempt to administer my survey. I would like to continue administering it, because it is directly related to the work of the Wikipedia community. I have already received a number of responses (about 15) which are generally very positive and insightful.
Because I am only seeking the feedback from a small number of specific individuals (the top 5% of editors on the VT massacre article, approximately 85 users), posting requests to users talk pages is the only reliable way to solicit feedback.
Nevertheless, I also want my work to be perceived favorably by the community. I have taken seriously the comments and suggestions offered by Dena and Hoary, and seek any additional feedback before I continue with my work.
I have made the following changes to my procedures:
My goal is to give people the opportunity to reply if they would like (many have done do enthusiastically), but not be intrusive to those who are not interested. I welcome your continued feedback.
Sincerely, -- geraldckane 15:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
