Thanks for the links! I find this interesting since I was having a lot of trouble understanding an IEG proposal that I was reviewing: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Stepwise_Disclosure_Edition:_Wikipedia_for_shy_people
Most people on the English Wikipedia have no problem hitting the edit button, and a quick review of the talk page on Superspreader shows that all of the people posting comments there feel totally comfortable doing just that *except* for the student whose edits are under review. Thanks to this case, I am now able to imagine a situation where this IEG proposal functionality could be relevant. I believe this particular superspreader case proves that publishing in "one blob" like the student has done can potentially be disruptive, which is interesting and puts that proposal into a totally new perspective for me. I would in fact say that this case proves that the functionality in the IEG proposal is, in fact, undesirable. 2014-05-06 14:17 GMT+02:00, Derric Atzrott <[email protected]>: > The discussion is located at the talk page for the article in question. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Super-spreader > > > > Just to clear up where the significant on-wiki attention took place at (my > first guess was User Talk:Malke 2010). > > > > Thank you, > > Derric Atzrott > > > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George Herbert > Sent: 06 May 2014 01:03 > To: Addressing gender equity and exploring ways to increase the > participation of women within Wikimedia projects. > Subject: Re: [Gendergap] Article about super-spreader might need help > (enWP) > > > > This now has gotten significant on-wiki attention. > > > > List relevant but less important on-wiki (I hope) complicating factor - the > editor who was felt to possibly be OWNing the article is User:Malke 2010", a > female Wikipedian... > > > > On Mon, May 5, 2014 at 9:29 PM, Sue Gardner <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey folks, > > On my phone, so I haven't read the talk page in question.
