Latest comment: 1 year ago by Joalpe in topic Feedback from Joalpe (talk)
 | We want to remind all participants on this discussion page that the Community Resources and Research Fund teams have specific expectations regarding discussion about proposals in this space. In the Community Resources team's behavioral expectations for this space, anyone with concerns about a proposal is welcome to express them in a constructive and supportive manner. However, to the extent that feedback is excessive, contains personalized and disparaging remarks about the applicant or their organization, or if the concerns are expressed in an hostile or punitive manner, they may be removed from the discussion page partially or entirely. Relatedly, participants should follow the Universal Code of Conduct, which contains the minimum level of guidelines for communications and behavior on Wikimedia projects. These expectations are important, we want to ensure that conversations about proposals in our funding programs are productive, that is, focused on building shared understanding and generally supporting applicants to improve their ideas and projects, regardless of what funding decision is made. |
We ask you to respond to the following questions:
- In what ways do you think this research can support you or other members of the Wikimedia communities in the work that you do on the Wikimedia projects?
- What advice do you have for the authors to improve their research or the impact of their research? (We encourage you to share with the authors projects or initiatives that you think can benefit from the result of their research. This can help the authors connect their work with ongoing projects in the early stages of their research.)
- Please share any other feedback about this proposal that you think the Research Fund Committee should consider below.
Please use Add feedback button below to add your feedback.
1. In what ways do you think this research can support you or other members of the Wikimedia communities in the work that you do on the Wikimedia projects?
- The Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct is --to the best of my knowledge-- an unprecedented effort to develop through a community-based methodology a binding set of rules for our whole movement. Serious research on this effort could support forthcoming initiatives as we change our governance structure by 20230.
2. What advice do you have for the authors to improve their research or the impact of their research?

- N/A
3. Please share any other feedback about this proposal that you think the Research Fund Committee should consider below.
- Perhaps, this project is too big, and it might make sense for the team to focus specifically on their first question. It already sounds as a lot of work to describe the process that led to choosing the UCoC drafters, develop an (semi-structured?) interview methodology, do the interviews, codify results and write the report. I find both questions extremely relevant by the way, and this feedback is only to be considered in terms of project feasibility.
