Noam Responding to Your Comment
Hey -- Hope I am right to respond here. I did read that discussion at the Administrative Noticeboard, all very interesting. I left a comment at Caryn Marooney (talk) because I thought the challenge was best put there. Did I miss a direct engagement of Assume Good Faith at the noticeboard? Any particular passage you'd highlight for me? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Chomsky1 (talk) Cheers chomsky1 15:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Chomsky1 You are of course welcome to respond here. You're correct that no one has directly discussed how Paid Editing and assume good faith (AGF) tie into each other in this current discussion. When there is consensus that there has been undeclared paid editing (UPE) we don't need to AGF - see WP:PACT. When there is suspected but unconfirmed paid editing AGF would definitely apply - let's think about/investigate (which is tricky in its own ways because of WP:OUTING) the possible issue but not jump to action. Your question is interesting because it's about how AGF applies in cases of declared paid editing - that is editors who are complying with the terms of use and general community norms/expectations. Speaking only for myself on that question, I think AGF remains an incredibly important behavior in these situations. These editors are trying to improve the encyclopedia. They have a conflict of interest (COI) which might interfere with their ability to write neutral content in the same way any other COI editor will but that does not mean that their ideas and point of view lack merit (and obviously sometimes their connection can mean they have greater knowledge about the topic). I think it important to discuss their content and find ways to work together to improve encyclopedic content. An example where I did that is Coffee Island - it seemed clear that the editor had a conflict, which I confirmed by asking and then worked with that editor to help improve coverage. In that case even though they edited directly rather than attempting to request edits, I assumed GF and continued to talk and work together and improve the sourcing and tone of the article. Hope that helps. I am happy to discuss further if you wish. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

But I think he is in a wiki-break now. Then I participated in several AfD discussions. Then I learned much about notability, verifiability, reliability, etc. But still I need to learn more about them comprehensively. Kindly please help me. Regards.--PATH SLOPU 09:59, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Proposal on renaming Disclosed Paid Editing?
Hi,
I noticed you expressed an interest in this. I'd be willing to help out or at least give my perspective. I've never been involved in proposing policy changes, and I obviously have a COI, though I think that makes my perspective useful. This Wired article just makes things that much worse: https://www.wired.com/story/want-to-know-how-to-build-a-better-democracy-ask-wikipedia/
Now Wired is reporting that Wikipedians will get you back if you follow disclosure policy by including your disclosure in the article about the subject. If Wikipedia still wants organizations and individuals to disclose, it really needs a "rebranding" of "paid editing" for those who never actually edit articles - I think the idea that article subjects or their reps are using the official "Contact Us" mechanism is what needs to be conveyed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_subjects
This failure to characterize disclosing editors as article subject reps asking for a correction of some sort, like an ordinary Contact Us for any publisher, really could kill disclosure. Everything could go back to UPE. BTW, I'm confident my major clients would be thrilled if disclosed requests were all handled by emails, or even a ticketed queue for Contact Us off of Talk. The type of clients I work with have an entirely different perspective than Wikipedia spammers.
Cheers BC1278 (talk) 21:35, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- BC1278 I have two policy changes I am willing to shepard right now - attempting to prevent non-administrator closures at AfD and trying to rid Wikipedia of the scourge of manipulated social media numbers. That is a full policy plate for an editor of my stature. So while I would be happy to support a change in terminology I am not the right partner to try and get the community on board to make the change happen.
