A tag has been placed on User:Bluerasberry/licenses, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See
    Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations
    for more information.
  • It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that

Clinical research ethics

Hey there, I would like to merge an article you created a while back (a while back) and thought I'd ask you first, since you're still active. Very active, holy... Anyway, I want to merge

Clinical research ethics into Research ethics, which was recently revived and which I just copy-edited. JackTheSecond (talk) 00:38, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
]

@JackTheSecond: Thanks for asking. I approve.
There is certainly plenty to say about them individually, but right now, the content is not there, and the clinical ethics article is low traffic. Feel free to start the merge and if you need support with anything then ask and I will help.
Also nice to meet you and if you do anything else with research ethics then ping me for collab. Thanks. Bluerasberry (talk) 00:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I think I got something rudimentary stitched together there now (though it wound up being an article composed of Excerpts to a perhaps excessive degree).
Now I'm wondering about whether the sections in
Research integrity as the main article. Probably a topic for either the talk page there or WP:BOLD, not a collab (even though I'd love to). JackTheSecond (talk) 19:01, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

@JackTheSecond: First, follow your instinct and do whatever seems fun and useful.
For me when I want insight, sometimes I check article traffic. "Scientific method" is a top 0.1% Wikipedia article by popularity. "Research integrity" gets so little traffic that it is hardly effective for sharing information at all.
I am not seeing the sections you mentioned in the sci method article. Can you confirm the title of the article with those section names? In any case, sci method is the article to develop for communication impact. Integrity is something fun to develop for completeness or personal enjoyment. Bluerasberry (talk) 19:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot for that useful bit on traffic! And you're right about the article sections - I spent quite a while reading a different version of the article and lost track of which one I was on... The sections have since been merged elsewhere. (The article had seen quite a lot of revision recently.) JackTheSecond (talk) 20:12, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
  • Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
  • Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Anything for that interview piece?

Atop Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Interview it says there's to be an edited version on YouTube on the 28th, which is today -- have we got anything for that? I tried to see if you'd posted any yt videos recently but I didn't see anything. I am prepping the issue for publication now and it would be nice to include this, so let me know. jp×g🗯️ 16:56, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: I prefer to meet the deadline even with this unedited video, which I could get to YouTube and Commons asap. Will have the video replaced within a few hours. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:36, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG: The video is in YouTube so at least everyone can access the video. I am updating the interview page with that as I sort a Commons upload.
