Are they experts? in my review its "Interesting as it gives insight into how wiki data runs, wiki data is relatively unknown to most." (Even though this reviewer liked my submission but she/he gave me 6, two other ones gave me 9. Basically this reviewer changed status of my submission from accepted to "in reserve") This reviewer doesn't know the difference between "wikidata" and "wiki data" and she/he is reviewing my submission? Last year (and years before) reviewers were prominent contributors among users with huge knowledge around the projects. That's strange to me

Just to say that I agree with Dariusz's assessment of how academic reviewing is done. That doesn't address the tension of whether Wikimania is an academic conference or not, though - a question that has existed since early days. There's good arguments both ways, and each Wikimania team has approached this question differently.* It should, however, be made clear to submitters what is happening.

- many teams, and participants, have wanted a more academic conference for
various reasons. Many participants find the socializing and practical knowledge sharing the most useful last. In recent years, we've tried to balance this by doing both. If I ever run Wikimania again, I think I'd try having *no* formal talks: only discussions and lightning talks.

hi,
I have some comments as a person from Academia (and not involved in Wikimania process in any way):
- Short reviews are definitely not helping in addressing the frustration
of rejection, yet are quite common in academic peer reviewing, especially for conferences.
- Double blind peer review (not knowing who is reviewed, and not knowing
who reviews) is a standard in Academia, although some perceive it as contributing to lack of responsibility (especially true in competitive journal submissions).
- Two reviewers per submission is absolutely on par with the conference
standards I'm used to. Sometimes there are three, but two is absolutely acceptable (although a third opinion should be used if the two disagree too much).
- It could be useful to sensitize the reviewers that the main purpose of
the review is to help the author to do better next time.
- All this is volunteer work. We should be, generally, grateful to
reviewers (but in the same time grateful to the contributors, too).
best,

What kind of ridiculous process is this? This is all I got:
===============
----------------------- REVIEW 1 --------------------- PAPER: 194 TITLE: GLAM+Wikidata AUTHORS: Sandra Fauconnier and Maarten Dammers
OVERALL EVALUATION: 8 (Very good)
----------- REVIEW ----------- 8
----------------------- REVIEW 2 --------------------- PAPER: 194 TITLE: GLAM+Wikidata AUTHORS: Sandra Fauconnier and Maarten Dammers
OVERALL EVALUATION: 6 (Rather interesting)
----------- REVIEW ----------- 6
==============
So only two people reviewed this? Who are these people? Why is this secret? Last year I had 5 people reviewing my submission [1].

I've just received feedback on one of my pitches saying, in part:
"Bad boy Andy! This is supposed to be an anonymous review process, so starting your abstract with your own name, is not entirely fair."
