[Foundation-l] BNR: "Less writers on wikipedia due to agression" (dutch)

[Ziko van Dijk]

Hello,

As far as I know, the Wikimedia organizations up to now have never
undertaken serious steps to analyze and tackle aggressive behavior.
One idea would be to engage a social psychologist or therapist or
mediator who can teach Wikipedians at conventions. Of course, the most
extreme people will not attend but many good willing editors - I am
sure, the vast majority - could need advice how to behave in difficult
situations and with difficult people.

Gerard is absolutely right, such reports in the media are dangerous
for us especially when they support perceptions the reader has already
made by himself.

Kind regards
Ziko
