The outcome of this RM may be of interest: Wikipedia talk:Don't feed the divas#Requested move. Is it addressing a real issue or just being politically correct?  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  07:48, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

"Neutral, informative messages to Wikipedia noticeboards, WikiProjects, or editors are permitted [...] Queries placed on noticeboards and talk pages should be phrased as neutrally as possible, in order to get uninvolved and neutral additional opinions. Where multiple issues do exist, then the raising of the individual issues on the correct pages may be reasonable, but in that case it is normally best to give links to show where else you have raised the question." -sche (talk) 18:40, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

• Best practice is to just post the link without any commentary other than, "project members may be interested in this." That said, additional commentary is seldom going to sway anyone, we are able to assess the information ourselves. Montanabw^(talk) 19:15, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Bibliography

Hi All, I started a bibliography on harassment on Wikipedia in my personal namespace: User:Vaughn88/sandbox/counteringbiasbiblio. If others think it is a good idea, I will transfer this to: WikiProject Countering systemic bias/harassment/bibliography, where it can be added to by others.

This is a great idea and I'd also suggest compiling bibliographies of sources useful in various systemic-bias related areas. But that's another discussion entirely. :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 15:36, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, very good idea. After some recent controversies about pro-Israel bias and harassment of those who don't share that bias, I looked into some old conflicts and found [1] re User:RK who was an early POV warrior. At the time the ArbCom process did not exist and it seems Jimmy Wales was played like a flute by some of these folks. Is it any better now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.95.94 (talk) 01:08, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Copyright Violation Detection - EranBot Project

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. These likely copyright violations can be searched by your topic of interest, e.g., control-f "WikiProject Poets."--Lucas559 (talk) 22:21, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
