The Wikipedia is cool and should be 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 what it is, as justified by academic studies of Wikipedia (see the 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.

Possible TODOs

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: Template:Trim&oldid=Template:Trim see this removal, for example.

About Wikipedia

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. Boud (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

refs experiment

The world is round[2]Template:Rp and orbits another world[3]Template:Rp, yet some[4] claim that it's flat. Mikołaja also says it's roundish with a reference duplicating biblio info contained in the refs= list.[3] and don't forget a subpage list of references.[5] Maybe also see ref.[6] of how not to falsify your inferences from checksummed data.[7][8]

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 creating/keeping an article:
