Support request with team editing experiment project
Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Participation: Out of seven people who signed up for this blitz, all copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
I really would love to thank all my supporters both on this wiki and elsewhere. I was extremely proud to accept all the kudos I have been given here at wikipedia, as well as all my wonderful fans over at twitter. Although everyone has been most supportive, I would especially like to thank a group of persons who have excelled each at their own craft --- @AxMorgan, @QueenAmy13, @ZoeIrvin, @DonaldGResha, @YBE, @RealRagnvald, @nycdave, and all to the rest as well my some 11,000 thousand followers there at twitter!
I hope everyone will have the brightest day ever!!!
ciao!!! Carriearchdale (talk) 08:28, 12 July @LollyGirlLou over at twitter
"Wikipedia is the product of thousands of editors' contributions, each one bringing something different to the table, whether it be: researching skills,technical expertise,writing prowess, or tidbits of information, but most importantly a willingness to help. Nobody owns articles, so if you see a problem that you can fix, do so. Everyone is encouraged to copyedit articles, and add content if they have knowledge of or are willing to do the necessary research to improve the topic at hand."
