We discussed the Positive Reinforcement project with community members from Arabic, Bengali, Czech, English, and French wikis. We received direct feedback about the three main ideas, along with many other ideas for improving new editor retention. Below is a summary of the main themes from the feedback, along with how we plan to iterate based on the feedback.

Personalized Praise
Other ideas mentioned by community members for improving newcomer retention:


 * Welcome Emails
 * Exposing newcomers to Wikiprojects that relate to their interests
 * Include more newcomer-friendly activities on the newcomer homepage
 * Send notifications to users who welcome newcomers once the newcomer reaches certain editing milestones
