Talk:Interview
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm interested in writing an article about methods for consumer surveys - or, mainly the methology behind telephone interviews for doing such surveys. I wonder were this article should belong - I've had a little problem with the exact meaning of the words 'interview' and 'survey' in english language (and in Wikipedia), considering that 'survey' seems to have something to do with geology (among other things), while the article 'interview' seems to focus entirely on interviews for magazines, tv, radio and such.
I'm also considering that the article I'm thinking about would fall under the category of 'statistical methology' or something like that. Any help would be appreciated. I've looked around and have seen nothing like the kind I would write, although that presents another problem: I would be in trouble to find decent references, tho I would be glad to have my article reviewed by other professionals. I'm not trying to publish anything original, it's just that finding good references has been difficult. I guess I could easily cover about 30-50% of my material with references, if that's good enough.
That would be my first article, by the way. So bare with me if my questions seem stoopid.

[edit] statistical survey
.. is the thing I was looking for. It seemed difficult to find at first, but after 2 months, it's there :) I just love wikipedia, but I wish people would be more bold in adding links that are not that close to the subject. I've been often surprised to see a related topic that can't be linked with fewer than 4..5 pages. There's excess of links to general topics tho. thats all for today folks
[edit] types of interviews
article does not specify types of interviews, such as structured, semi-structured, and open... etc Towsonu2003 20:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
