Recruitment
Interview
Part 1: Group Organization
- How many group members does your group have? How well do you know your group members? (For example, do you know where they come from, their occupation, their hobby, etc.)
- Can you describe the organization of your group? (Team role, including how you decided it)
Part 2: Group Participation
- Can you describe an experience with voluntary participation?
- Can you tell me about a WikiProject that you have worked on that was particularly well coordinated, in your opinion?
- Can you tell me about a WikiProject that you have worked on that was particularly unstructured and uncoordinated in your opinion?
- What collaborative features or functions do you consider to be the most important to working with a group on a project?
Part 3: Tasks
- How do you decide what tasks to undertake for a WikiProject?
- How many tasks have you finished in the past three months? (Can you name some of them? How do you decide which tasks should you have? Tell me the procedure how you finished a task, start from the beginning)
Part 4: Problems
- Name some problems that you or your group encountered. What tools you think might help you?
Part 5: Communications
- What other types of online communities do you participate in? Why?
- How do you typically communicate with other WikiProject members?
- How you communicate with each other? (Do you have a routinely group meeting? What will you do if you need to talk to someone about a task? What tools are you using?)
- What's your reaction when there's a conflict between you and your group members?
- What's favorite social media to get in touch with other people? Why?
- Describe how you would/do collaborate with a fellow editor on a WikiProject.
- Choose a WikiProject that you are a member of. Describe how knowledge of ongoing tasks is conveyed to the rest of the group.
- How should WikiProject member roles be structured? Based on number of total edits? Based on length of member history? Explain.
- Identify a tool/application/service (can be outside of Wikipedia) that aids collaboration on Wikipedia and support your opinion by explaining the best qualities of this tool/application/service.
- How useful would you find a tool within Wikipedia that facilitates all aspects of a WikiProject (Members, roles, tasks, communication)? Explain using your own experience of using current Wikipedia collaboration methods.
