Although ethical research is a global concern, note that the specific
challenges associated with adhering to IRB policies regarding informed
consent, retention of data, etc, is a concern of American academics.
This is a great conversation to have, but when talking about
guidelines for all Wikipedia research, remember that researchers in
industry labs and from countries other than the US generally do not
receive federal funds from the United States government, are not bound
by the same laws, and may have other frameworks for thinking about the
ethics of online research.

I suggest we try to continue the discussion there.
