What is the research about? I am Lucie-Aimée, a researcher in the university of Southampton and I work on this project as part of my PhD research, collaborating with Pavlos Vougiouklis, and Elena Simper at the university of Southampton. This experiment will observe your interaction with text and how you edit Wikipedia. We aim particularly at under-resourced languages to support and improve the editing in these languages.

We will ask you questions and encourage you to speak with us in the whole process. We will record the audio of our conversation as well as the screen where you edit. The interview will be happen either in person or via skype.
Are there any benefits in my taking part? We will gain a better understanding in how to support Wikipedia editors and can use this knowledge long-term to build better tools for the community.
