Abstract

This research was commissioned by Wikimedia Australia in response to previous feedback from First Nations editors identifying that the platform is not always user-friendly for First Nations peoples as both readers and editors. The research was conducted by the Department of Critical Indigenous Studies, Macquarie University.
This research project was underpinned by an Indigenist Research Methodology (Rigney, 1997) and utilised three qualitative data collection methods: individual semi-structured interviews, yarning circles, and an online survey. To be eligible for inclusion in this research project, participants had to be an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person aged 18 years or older, with experience using Wikipedia as a reader and/or editor. There was a total of 34 participants.
