Dear Greg, This is not about criticism but about research. With respect I have not seen your research papers, I am not aware of your credentials that would make you a choice to be considered for being part of a research committee.

Given that the work of the committee includes work on policies that have to do with access to confidential data, it seems to me only natural that your status as being banned from several Wikis is an other reason why you are easily disqualified from participating in a research committee.

At that you have had your "test" several times and as a result you are a known entity. Thanks, GerardM

Erik,

Will critics of less-than-best-practices within the Wikimedia Foundation be considered for invitation to the Wikimedia Research Committee, or is there some sort of loyalty "litmus test" going to be applied?

I've sent my self-nomination by private e-mail anyway, but I thought a public clarification of this question would be a helpful learning.

Thanks,

Greg
