It seems you mass-emailed users on non-Wikipedia-related issues. Please don't do so. If you want to contact an entire WikiProject, you can leave a message on the WikiProject's talk page, but since you're not here to improve the encyclopedia, I'd ask you to keep the disruption to a minimum.

Dear Huon, more than mass-emailing, I am selecting the users carefully based on their characteristics and their roles for the research based on user behavior according to the roles in Wikipedia. I will however post in the WikiProject as you indicate. I am trying not to be "too" intrusive, and therefore I contact only those users who made themselves available through e-mail. Do you have a suggestion, or know a Gatekeeper who I could refer to for such a case? I contacted the Wikimedia Chapter in my city and never recieved a response. Thanks for the feedback.

"Those users who made themselves available through e-mail" is the vast majority. That is not an invitation to be contacted on issues that ultimately are not related to their conduct or to improving Wikipedia. To me, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here, an email feels much more intrusive than a talk page note (particularly one in a central location).

You may want to take a look at Wikipedia:Researching Wikipedia and meta:Research. Huon (talk) 23:55, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
