Self-evalution:
- Shortcomings in article editing
- Why haven't I been involved in a GA/FA effort? Wissenschaft or similar B class article? Jewish studies? Also, the Jewish history article is rather weak, as is Jewish law, Responsa history, etc. Maimonides, Mussar movement, Jewish medical ethics or Jewish ethics (needs much writing/revising respectively). Simchat Torah, Shoftim (parsha)
- Facilitation progress, frustrations, and time. Q's about number of interventions in a given conversation, when to propose and when to let others propose (Islam & antisemitism), when to move from contributing process to contributing edits, how much to do thru user Talk, dealing w/multiple forums (Prog/Reform),
- Learning various WP policies and guidelines, using them effectively, etc.
- Learning various WP procedures, e.g. dealing w/vandalism, user conduct, XfD, ANx, etc
- Editor review
Reasons for number of edits in mainspace
Examples of successful mediation work
Example of creative way to deal with two editors battling thru wikispace.
[edit] Wikipedia Cases and Lessons
Example of ultra vires and sovereignty dilemma as it pertains to Wikipedia leadership Jimbo Wales RfC
Recent case involving User:Durova, User:!! and User:GianoII, etc. in ArbCom and elsewhere
How about a WP page dealing with the precedents in ArbCom, AfD, CSN, and other decisions. Does it exist?
Kelly Martin Essjay Other high profile cases?
List of AfD and other precedents. Why not more precedent records?
On admin conflicts-of-interest: "Administrative tools may not be used to further the administrator's own position in a content dispute." From Dbachmann case, 10-0.
[edit] Sample notices
Greetings. Welcome to Wikipedia. Since we are hard at work writing an encyclopedia, it is unhelpful if you experiment with articles such as 613 Mitzvot. The changes you make require somebody else to come along and clean it up. Please experiment instead in the WP:SANDBOX. Feel free to join us and become familiar with our volunteer project. (Further inappropriate changes will be considered "vandalism" of our work and may lead to a block on the use of this account here. Thanks.
