Participant #1
Gender Education Editor Wikipedia viewing Wikipedia editing Personal suggestions
Female Graduate Original almost every day never edit button also besides first section

Adding a sentence

She first searches for an edit link, and finds a section edit link, and she soon finds out that she's not editing the correct section. She's confused that there's no such link for the first section. I had to direct her to the tab at the top.

Scans the entire edit page, including all the warnings and other information.

Now she quickly identifies the sentence to add and does this correctly. Wants to preview the page and is confused which button to use. Manages to get it working and saves the page, without filling in an edit summary

Adding reference

Clicks the section edit link and finds the result confusing. Confuses category links with references, and misses the references template. Tries to add a reference simply by adding a url at the bottom, and finds that this does not work properly.

Tries the edit toolbar for advanced functions, and finds the insert a link button, mistakes this for a reference. Tries to use the ordered list function. Finds that this gives a different list.

I give the hint that the reference might be found in the text. Now she quickly edits the section and copy-pastes a reference, which works correctly. At first, she doesn't recognise her addition, and tries to fix her old addition. I give the hint that she's done it correctly.

Adding an external link

She quickly and correctly adds an external link, but once again omits an edit summary.

Changing population count

Changing the count in the text is no problem for her. When changing the count in the template she clicks a label and is taken to an empty page. She gives up.

I tell her that she can click the top tab again. She recognises the number and changes it correctly.

Swapping paragraphs

She uses a section edit link again, and quickly swaps the paragraphs by dragging and dropping.
