Username[edit]

Hello. You may not be aware of Wikipedia policy on usernames, but "Names of well-known living or recently deceased people" are not allowed "unless you are that living person". Since yours is very similar to Türkmenbaşy, it might be best to request an administrator to change it. See Wikipedia:Changing username for details.

Greetings! You have my gratitude for until now i had no idea about the existance of those wikipedian name rules, however Turkmenbashy is not a personal name, but a title, as the article you linked points out; and I'd really like to keep it :). (But if you insist, I'd go through the hastle!)Turkmenbashy 00:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Research survey invitation[edit]

Greetings Turkmenbashy-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon, studying digital media and online community. I am posting to invite you to participate in my research study exploring the work of Wikipedia editors who are members of WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias. The online survey should take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and can be found here:

Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.

This research project has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Research Committee as well as the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon. For a detailed description of the project, please visit its Meta page. This survey is voluntary, and your confidentiality will be protected. You will have the choice of using your Wikipedia User Name during the research or creating a unique pseudonym. You may skip any question you choose, and you may withdraw at any time. By completing the survey, you are providing consent to participate in the research.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact me via my Talk Page (UOJComm) or via email. My faculty advisor is Dr. Ryan Light. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant, please contact the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon.
