User Moulton has started a Wikiversity project on
ethical management of
Wikipedia.

kipedia
With some of the initial discussion on the talk page suggesting things like
editors taking tests, ArbCom being replaced with paid professionals, I have
some concern that those involved with this are "forum shopping" for a place
where they can influence the running of Wikipedia.
This came to my attention when - as an apparent afterthought - Wikinews was
included in this. I have asked for that to be changed and that those
involved restrict themselves to projects they are familiar with.
I believe this should be given input from a wider community of editors,
hence raising it here.
Wikiversity is not the place to try to change or influence another
Wikimedia project. From what you describe, the Wikiversity project
seems to be opposed to some of the basic premises of Wikipedia.
Perhaps Wikiversity is being used because these ideas wouldn't gain
any currency on Wikipedia or Meta Wikimedia?
