Subject: Re: [RCom-l] The tragedy of the Commons
My feeling is that we shouldn't be conflating the two
issues, as this would be confusing for the community:
1) review of Berkman banner and implementation of changes
discussed on the list
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2011-December/070765.html
2) discussion of future approach towards SR, Omnibus survey
etc
(1) needs to take place this week, I have a conference call
(date/time still tbc) with the researchers and some
community members, if any of you is willing to help with
this please let me know off-list and I'll add you to the
list of attendees. I don't feel there's a need to host an
actual RCom meeting to review the proposed changes (which
seem fairly uncontroversial and will be discussed on wiki).
I would rather keep this opportunity to discuss (2) and the
broader implications of the Berkman incident for the future.

Dear WSC,
I think we need to be very precise
about what the Berkman controversy is
about. My understanding is that
the use of banners with logo's on
central
notice during the fundraiser and
the kickback of donations is at the
heart
of the controversy. It is not
about the legitimacy of the research
institutes, nor is it about
surveys as a research methodology, or the
actual research questions. As
such, I think that we need to discus how
to
to promote research studies but
not debate the merits of Wikipedia
research
itself.
I think right now it is mostly about
the lack of communication, and this
is what we need to discuss as well.
The main objections have been
summarized at two pages on English
Wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Harvard.2FScience_Po_Adverts
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Central_Notices
as well as on the Meta proposal page

Cheers
Yaroslav
