Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy

Hello! Would anyone be willing to help me expand the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy page? I'm pretty new here and could use some help. Since it's an underdeveloped page I was thinking we could add some more content sections. Since I work at Batten as an intern, there might be some COI issues which is also why I'm asking for help, I'm wholeheartedly interested in writing an unbiased piece and could use some cooperation to ensure that happens.

Here's some articles I pulled together from fairly reliable sources on possible tidbits of info, etc.

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Hello from staff Wikipedian at UVA

Hello, I am Lane Rasberry, user:bluerasberry. I joined the Data Science Institute at the University of Virginia as their Wikimedian in Residence in March 2018. In this role I will be supporting university organizations, faculty, researchers, and students in developing Wikipedia and Wikimedia content. My particular focus is engagement is engagement with Wikidata. I have a profile on the Data Science Institute website. Previously I coordinated Wikimedia projects at Consumer Reports in partnership with Wiki NYC. I still collaborate with those and other organizations in New York City and in wiki's global network.

I updated this WikiProject to present less information but at least to be up to date. Whatever projects I do I plan to report here for as long as this WikiProject finds it useful. If there is anyone in this wikiproject or the general area who would collaborate with me on a Wikimedia project then I am seeking opportunities to partner for programs and am open to chat with anyone interested in UVA, or universities in the state of Virginia, or data science, or the city of Charlottesville. Thanks! Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:49, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposal to pay student editors

I proposed to pay student editors to develop Wikipedia articles.

The particular proposal is at

• Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Virginia/2023 Wiki99 for open source software
• meta:Wiki99/open-source software

The method of editing would be using the Wikipedia:Education program model while also complying with Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. The general situation is that the Wikipedia education program and the Wikipedia conflict of interest disclosure process have been in place for 10+ years and applied tens of thousands of times. For more reasons than anyone has documented, both have their problems.

I floated the idea of paid student editing at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_202#Paying_student_editors. The people who spoke up had no support for the idea.

I continue to develop the concept, which I recognize faces maximal skepticism and scrutiny. I do not have all the answers, but personally, I feel that risks are small and the benefits would include 1) a next-generation of partnerships with universities for both expert engagement and ethical oversight and 2) improvement of essential content Wikipedia content which is super popular and which could be greatly improved, but where development is stale.

While I believe that public conversation is essential for discussing this, I think that voice or video conversation recorded and posted to wiki is much preferable to text posts on wiki of the sort in that conflict-of-interest noticeboard. I would talk with anyone about this in any channel though, either on wiki, or in recorded voice or video chat. Thanks. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:32, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
