The Wikipedia is cool and <s>should be</s> is used and developed in universities and schools everywhere, IMHO. Closed documentation on encyclopedic type knowledge has no moral justification, IMHO. But the Wikipedia should be used with an understanding of [[Wikipedia|what it is]], as justified by [[Wikipedia:Academic_studies_of_Wikipedia|academic studies of Wikipedia]] (see the [[Wikipedia:Education Working Group/RfC|Education Working Group/RfC]] about difficulties in giving formal university grades for Wikipedia editing).

Moreover, there are many aspects of research and universities where the ethical principles in practice at Wikipedia ''should'' be the norm but are not (yet, as of 2023) the norm; by seeing how they work in the "real-world" case of Wikipedia (the world's biggest and often most reliable encyclopedia), pressure to move up to these standards in research practice and university governance - especially including transparent, rational, structured decision-making (the ideal of "collegial" decision-making and governance) - will continue to increase.

==Gender pronouns==
If you need to refer to me in Wikipedia discussions, then ''he/him/his'' are appropriate. If you really want to use ''they/them/their'' about me, go ahead, since it seems like those pronoun-related words may win the popularity contest against ''s/he, him/her, his/her''.

===Peace process===
Battles get huge amounts of Wikipedia attention, while peace actions get much less. This is not Wikipedians' fault alone - killing is "sexy" for the media, while negotiations and the creation of networks and organised groups and healthier human relationships are boring and unprofitable. We need to create more peace process structures, since pedants don't want information on battles to be corrupted by "unencyclopedic" information such as elements of peace processes that inevitably accompany battles since (at least) a century ago: {{diff|Template:Campaignbox Nagorno-Karabakh conflict|985261653|984568272|see this removal}}, for example.

===Degafamise the recommended search===
* '''TODO''' [[Module:Find sources]] seems to be close to the core of the [[GAFAM]] recommendations used in {{t|Find sources}} and similar. This has to be sorted out to stop encouraging users to violate their own privacy: [[Searx#SearXNG fork|Searx (now SearXNG)]], [[startpage.com]], [[DuckDuckGo]] would avoid providing free advertising for GAFAM.

==Balancing some particular biases==
===Women in computing articles===

* [[Hedy Lamarr#Frequency-hopping spread spectrum]] - major contribution to bluetooth via proposing+patenting [[Frequency-hopping spread spectrum]]

===EmpowerHer Editathon 2024-03-22 to 2024-04-22===
[[:m:Event:EmpowerHer Editathon 2024]] - related articles - unclear if the scope is "women in politics, democracy, elections and governance within AU states" or "women in politics, in democracy, in elections and in governance within AU states" - probably the latter is the intended meaning...
* [[National Autonomous Electoral Commission (Senegal)]] - probably doesn't count since no specific mention of women in the commission
* [[Feminism in Senegal]] - includes [[Feminism_in_Senegal#Legislative_achievements|legislative achievements]] so should count as women in governance

=== Rants ===
* On the question of how much compression should be done in the long term, I've only just discovered that en.Wikipedia has a whole set of [[:Category:Lists of diplomatic visits by heads of state]]. Given that almost all of these are opaque meetings with at best press conferences following the meetings, the useful information content is about as much as that of a 'Miss' competition. Famous powerful person A meets powerful person B. Great! and what does that have to do with transparent, rational, informed decision-making representing the interests of citizens of A and B's countries? If I were dictator of en.Wikipedia, I would probably delete the whole set. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud|talk]]) 15:48, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

=== Other wikis: Wikidot ===
* [[Wikidot]] got deleted: [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikidot]] - see especially [https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Wikidot archiveteam's overview of Wikidot] and a link there to a plan to sell Wikidot, which could lead to [[WP:NOTABLE|notability]] if the price were high enough and it hit the mainstream press. I don't understand how a wiki community, of apparently a million users, could fail to get the attention of at least the internet/software geeky press.

===predatory journals===
A semi-centralised place at [[GAFAM]] to look for lists of predatory journals and publishers, currently not updated since 2017, is:
* predatory journals: https://github.com/stop-predatory-journals/stop-predatory-journals.github.io/blob/master/_data/journals.csv or better: [[WP:SPSLIST]] (self-publishing sources list)
* predatory publishers: https://github.com/stop-predatory-journals/stop-predatory-journals.github.io/blob/master/_data/publishers.csv
* Discussion = "issues" - with currently (2020-12-06) nobody handling these seriously: https://github.com/stop-predatory-journals/stop-predatory-journals.github.io/issues

===Reference section bots/parsers===
* Whether or not bots or parsers should ignore <nowiki><!-- ... --></nowiki> or rather <nowiki>{{void| ... }}</nowiki> comments seems to be disputed between different people. TODO: See {{diff|User talk:Mirokado|1081834924|1079627134|this discussion}} and find the (early 2021?) bot owner discussions about this, and get the different people to chat directly and decide what's best.

==Is /me notable?==
While [[Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing]], universities want publicity for their researchers, so my public profile - independent of Wikipedia editing - might sooner or later be used to create an article about me, whether I want that or not, in which case [[WP:PROF]] would almost certainly be the criterion for deciding whether or not the topic is notable enough to survive an [[WP:AFD]]. So here are some sources that should likely qualify as [[WP:RS]] (several are paywalled) for deciding for or against [[WP:BLP|creating]]/keeping an article:
