User:L'Aquatique/Anniversary

I am celebrating my one year anniversary with Wikipedia on Nov 2! To celebrate, I have joined the Welcoming Committee and pledge to welcome twenty new users a day until the 2nd!

I've always wondered how many vandals could be averted if we just gave them a warm welcome. To find out, and as celebration for my one year anniversary with Wikipedia (and also just to be nice :D), I've pledged to welcome 20 users a day during the week leading up to 2 November. I will keep an eye on their contribs and see how many of them become contributing editors, and how many become vandals/spammers/trolls etc. After a few months I will present my findings to the Welcoming Committee. Hopefully, my little experiment can prove that a little kindness goes a long way!

The Setup

Every day, I will be randomly selecting 20 new (no contribs) users and leaving the same welcoming template on their user talk page: {{W-shout}} (using Friendly, because I'm a little lazy). Should a user reply to my welcoming message, I will encourage them to contact me via my talk page or email should they have any questions. In the event that a user should be banned for username violation, I will pick a different user that signed up on the same day to replace him/her.
Their talk page will remain on my watchlist, so I will know if they have been warned/blocked, or thanked/awarded. I will make notes next to their listing here about their status (i.e. blocked indef for spam, won ___ barnstar, etc), and after the experiment is finished I will collect the data and present my findings.

The List

Meet my 160 test subjects! *Muahaha*
