The third installment of the critically acclaimed Super Human series All Gethin Rao wants is to be like every other boy his age. But normal twelve-year-olds aren't blue. And they certainly aren't thirteen feet tall. That's what happens when his superpowers kick in. And from that moment on, his life is never the same.

Treated as a villain-a monster-Gethin spends the rest of his life on the run or as a prisoner in a secret military facility. When he finally escapes, he falls in with a group of superpowered teens and becomes the one thing he never thought he'd be: a hero. But as the years pass by and he takes the name Brawn, Gethin learns that being a good guy is a lot more difficult than he thought.

The image of the at the center of the dispute The United States (FBI) has written to the requesting that their be removed from Wikipedia, threatening that 'failure to comply may result in further legal action. We appreciate your timely attention to this matter. Whoever possesses any insignia. Or any colourable imitation thereof. Shall be fined.

Or imprisoned. Or both', the BBC on Tuesday. The New York Times 'those at Wikipedia' as saying the problem with these demands is that the law cited in the FBI's letter 'is largely about keeping people from flashing fake badges or profiting from the use of the seal, and not about posting images on noncommercial Web sites. Many sites, including the online version of the Encyclopedia Britannica, display the seal.'

(In the following days, the image seems to have been removed from the page on Britannica.com.) The letter stated that the FBI finds the issue 'particularly problematic, because it facilitates both deliberate and unwitting violations of restrictions by Wikipedia users.' 'Other organizations might simply back down', says the newspaper, 'but Wikipedia sent back a, stating that the bureau’s lawyers are misquoting the law.' The response, by the Foundation's general counsel, read: “while we appreciate your desire to revise the statute to reflect your expansive vision of it. We must work with the actual language of the statute, not the aspirational version you provided.

'the enactment of these laws was intended to protect the public against the use of a recognisable assertion of authority with intent to deceive. The seal is in no way evidence of any 'intent to deceive', nor is it an 'assertion of authority', recognizable or otherwise. We are prepared to argue our view in court.'

Godwin signed off his letter 'with all appropriate respect.' An FBI spokesperson told the newspaper that by law, its seal cannot be used without 'the permission of the FBI director”. The BBC questioned why the FBI 'singled out Wikipedia, when the FBI seal is published on numerous other websites.' Asked by The New York Times to comment, legal director of the, said the FBI 'has better things to do than this.' Earlier this year, Wikimedia and the FBI had already appeared in headlines together, in news reports about 's announcement that he had reported the WMF to the FBI for 'knowingly distributing child pornography' (see ). Although Foundation staff stated several weeks later that they had not received any notice from the FBI that the images in question would violate federal laws, and there have been no media reports about actions of the FBI in this matter, Larry Sanger appeared to interpret the letter about the seal as the FBI's indirect reaction to his complaint: 'The FBI finally got back to Wikimedia, but not about its child porn holdings', 'this action from the FBI is a not-too-subtle hint to the WMF to get its house in order', 'hubris, meet your nemesis. Sanger and other Wikipedia critics later noted a passage at that: 'U.S.

Law prohibits the reproduction of designated logos of U.S. Government agencies without permission. Use restrictions of such logos must be followed and permission obtained before use, if required. However, this does not affect the copyright status.' Soon after the story broke on Tuesday, a DYK nomination of the article was submitted, which would presumably entail displaying the image on the Main page. So far, it does not seem to have gained consensus, first for failing the DYK criterion of having 'been created, or expanded fivefold or more, within the last 5 days', but also because several users found it would be unwise in the current situation (Jimbo Wales that 'It is clearly politically provocative, and it's just not appropriate for Wikipedia to behave that way'). Public policy initiative announces advisory board, starts training campus ambassadors.

Some staff and advisory board members of the Public Policy Initiative The Wikimedia Foundation's posted two announcements on the Foundation blog last week, introducing the members of its advisory board and describing its first 'Wikipedia Campus Ambassador training'. (The initiative, announced in May and funded by the, is a project to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics in the by collaborating with educational institutions. Cary Bass (in 2008) Volunteer Coordinator Cary Bass to leave Foundation staff Cary Bass , the of the Wikimedia Foundation, has he will leave the staff at the end of December. He will 'continue to be involved with the Wikimedia movement as a volunteer, both as a contributor and in the organization of the annual Wikimania conference', and has decided to enroll in graduate theological studies.

Bass was hired in March 2007 (see Signpost coverage: ). The Foundation has recently formed a new Community Department following the hiring of Chief Community Officer (CCO) Zack Exley (see Signpost coverage:, ). Bass says the Foundation 'is not planning to hire another volunteer coordinator to look after the specific range of work I've been doing', and that users who are unsure which staff member will take over a specific responsibility should contact him over the next months. Foundation to set up new 'Wikimedia Research Committee' The Wikimedia Foundation is for a new 'Wikimedia Research Committee', to 'support the management of relationships between Wikimedia communities and the broader communities of researchers who study Wikimedia projects'.

Among the tasks outlined in the announcement by Deputy Director are the formulation of a policy governing the access of non-public data by researchers, reviewing research projects in cases of a conflict of interest, and 'helping to formulate small tactical experiments related to Wikimedia's strategic goals'. Historically, the WMF used to designate a ' (until 2007 '), a volunteer with some similar responsibilities, guiding the ', which appears to have been inactive for years.

Recently, the Foundation added a new user rights group named 'Researcher' to the English Wikipedia and suggested the community should develop processes for granting this permission (see ). In March, a page on the English Wikiversity about researching Wikipedia by 'Ethical ', which contained some suggestions to vandalize it on purpose, generated controversy (see.) In other news, four WMF employees that comprise 'most of the current staff at the Wikimedia Foundation currently engaging in research' on the Wiki-Research-l mailing list on Monday:, and. Briefly. Wikimedia UK, the Wikimedia chapter representing the United Kingdom, a 'microgrants' scheme, providing funds ranging from £5 to £100 to support applicants' Wikimedia activities.

Although this year's deadline for the Foundation's has officially passed already, grant submissions will now be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The process was recently expanded to include consideration 'in a limited way' of grants submitted by 'volunteers and like-minded organizations' that follow the grant requirements, as well as just chapters. Barry Newstead, the Foundation's new Chief Global Development Officer (CGDO), has taken over the grants process and intends to experiment with grants to non-chapter entities in the future. Discussion about the use of Google's machine translation tools to increase content on smaller Wikipedias (see Signpost coverage:, ) continued last week on the Foundation-l mailing list.

This corresponds to about 0.9% of all edits, which number around 1.076 billion. In Wikimedia's (for Wikipedias), SieBot is currently the bot with the most overall edits, followed by and, both of which are also adding or fixing interwiki links. Wikimedia Sverige has published a very short for the month of July, mainly noting that five of the chapter's board members and eight other members attended.

The Wikimedia Foundation's Executive Director, published two posts on her private blog recently. In, she started out from reading 'sociologist ‘s documentation of tactics covertly used by external parties to hurt or help social/political movement', eliciting several comments including one from a poster identifying himself as. In, she noted that both the Quakers and Wikimedians use. She said that 'some Quaker practices, I think, are relevant to Wikimedia, and we are either already using versions of them, or should consider it.' In particular, she mentioned that the 'is very similar to our leadership roles such as board or committee chair', said that 'Quaker methods of reconciling dissent might be particularly useful for us' in the context of the Board of Trustees' decisionmaking, and that their 'delineation of roles-and-responsibilities among board, staff and community members could be a good model for us.' Aubrey (at Wikimania 2010) Wikinews interviews Umberto Eco: 'I am a compulsive user of Wikipedia' from Wikimedia Italia interviewed famed novelist, critic and in his home on April 24, 2010, as part of the chapter's project.

An was recently made available on the Italian Wikinews (Wikinotizie). Professor Eco described himself as 'a compulsive user of Wikipedia, also for arthritic reasons: the more my back hurts, the more it costs me to get up and go to check the Encyclopedia.

When I write, I consult Wikipedia 30–40 times a day, because it is really helpful'. However, he questioned its reliability.

He stated that Wikipedia is good for the (intellectually) 'rich' and bad for the 'poor', explaining that as an educated person, he knows how to filter the information on Wikipedia, checking and comparing multiple sources rather than accepting a fact while a less well-educated user might not be as discriminating. Asked whether it is better to have more people involved on a topic, as it is stated to be the case (under certain conditions) by the theory of, Professor Eco replied: “ I don't quite agree with this. I am a disciple of, who argues that scientific truths are, ultimately, approved by the community. The slow work of the community, through revisions and errors, as he put it in the nineteenth century, carries out 'the torch of truth'. The problem is the definition of truth. If I were forced to replace 'truth' with 'crowd', I would not agree. If you make a statistical analysis of the 6 billion inhabitants of the globe, the majority believes that the Sun revolves around the Earth, there's nothing you can do.

The crowd would be prepared to endorse the wrong answer. This also happens in a democracy: we are noticing it these days, the crowd votes for the Italian politician.

We must therefore find another criterion, which I think is the motivated crowds. People who work on Wikipedia. Are not the indiscriminate crowd but are the part of the crowd who feels motivated to work with Wikipedia.

Here it is: I'd replace the theory of the 'wisdom of the crowd' with the theory of the 'wisdom of the motivated crowds.' The general crowd says we should not pay taxes; the motivated crowd says that it's fair to pay them. In fact, it's not the ditch diggers or illiterates who contribute to Wikipedia, but people who already belong to a cultural crowd for the very fact they're using a computer. ” The interviewer observed a cultural difference on Wikipedia between the coverage of 'hard' and 'soft' sciences, and related it to a similar difference between the corresponding academic communities.

Eco agreed that 'hard' sciences place more value on collaboration and less on authorship than humanities. 'Science is cumulative-destructive, it stores what it needs and throws away what it doesn't require. Humanities are totally cumulative, they don't throw away anything: in fact, there is always a return to the past.' He also agreed that the strong collaboration on Wikipedia, facilitated by the use of free licenses and a culture of pseudonymity or even anonymity, might be part of a larger trend, which in 50 years would probably lead to 'a cultural situation similar to the one in the Middle Ages, where.

the was lost.' However, he doubted this development would reach total anonymity, which, while it might give the appearance of democracy, 'gives the idea that just one and only one truth exists'. When asked about and in general, Eco said he did not consider piracy to be a tragedy, at least not for himself. The interview touched on the copyright controversy about, the market, and free software (Eco praised ). Aubrey concluded by stating that Wikipedia, too, comes from the world. A contains background information on the interview and the 'Wiki@Home' program. Apart from Eco, several other notable people have been interviewed.

Questions are prepared collaboratively on a page on the Italian Wikinews; Wikimedia Italia then contacts the potential interviewee and chooses the interviewer (usually one of the chapter's members). Briefly.

A large number of media outlets reported on the efforts by the United States to make Wikipedia take down the image depicting the. (See full coverage in this week's section.). British musician was recently asked by to comment on the Wikipedia article about her : 'I hate my Wikipedia page. It's really boring to look.

I'd get rid of all this white space. And I'd make the font a bit more interesting.'

The Guardian remarked that 'If you've ever seen the fluoro overload of her own website or Twitter page this should come as no surprise.' When asked to examine the text for possible inaccuracies, though, she found none. However, she noted that 'the section on got removed when we stopped working together. He emailed me about that; that's why I know that section's missing', and that she had 'no idea' who removed it (it appears to refer to edit). She said she had never edited the article herself: 'I really don't know how to do that.' .

In a article, 'Plagiarism lines blur for students in digital age', that 'digital technology makes copying and pasting easy, of course. But that is the least of it. The Internet may also be redefining how students—who came of age with music file-sharing, Wikipedia and Web-linking—understand the concept of authorship and the singularity of any text or image.'

She went on to say that 'at the University of Maryland, a student reprimanded for copying from Wikipedia in a paper on the Great Depression said he thought its entries—unsigned and collectively written—did not need to be credited since they counted, essentially, as common knowledge.' . 'Facebook, Wikimedia and the rest are making millions from the value created by users, acting like a cooperative but paying itself like a private company', freelance creative Richard Buchanan in The Guardian on August 4. Open-source advocate Felix Cohen says in the comments: 'I was halfway convinced until you conflated Wikimedia and Facebook'.

On last week, many users responded to the question. On the Foundation-l mailing list, Sue Gardner 'a really interesting thread with lots about deletionism and notability.' . An analysis published on Reddit found that a by a US military unit in the (a collection of documents recently published by ) appears to have copied verbatim from the Wikipedia article, to describe a type of missile the unit had secured from locals. The posting noted that the apparently copied content had been to Wikipedia some months earlier from an IP registered to, a US government contractor. It did not examine the possibility that both might be based on a third source. The posting was by Wikileaks on Twitter and received more than 9,800 hits.

The drought in RfA has now run for 28 months and is worsening. The number of admins promoted in 2009 was very low compared to previous years, and each of the past six months since has seen even fewer successful RfAs than the same month in 2009. The number of active admins has fallen from the peak of in February 2009 to. Requirements have been increasing at RfA in various ways, and since the unbundling of rollback in early 2008 (see ) it has been difficult for candidates to succeed simply as 'good vandal fighters'.

One result of this is that there is now a gulf growing between admins and non admins in terms of 'Wiki generations'. Over 90% of our admins first edited more than three and a half years ago. It is probably no surprise that there are no admins who first edited in 2010, but only nine started editing in 2009 and thirty-eight in 2008. Even the Wikipedians who joined us in 2007 are still under-represented in the admin cadre.

More than 60 successful RFAs About one new admin per day was promoted from mid-2005 to mid-March 2008; this pattern oscillated between half and a fifth of that rate until late 2009, and since then the promotion rate has dropped to one every five days. Originally sourced from, copied here and colour-coded. Updates from and active admins from and. Early 2003 from On the counting of admins Nobody really knows how many admin accounts there have been on the English Wikipedia, or how many actual people they represent.

Some stats include admin bots, others do not. If an admin has their account renamed they are still one admin, but if they leave and return with a new account and have that sysoped then some stats count them as two admins.

Nowadays developers and other staff members have a 'staff' flag, but some early staff members were simply made admins, and at least one measure of our number of admins would include them if they made an admin action. If a protected page is moved, the automated moving of the protection settings is counted as a page protection and is listed under the username of the person who moved the page, whether or not they are actually an admin. Also, stewards can act as admins on enwiki. Records for the early days are incomplete. We have had 1,920 admins appointed (not including bots), we currently have 1,741 accounts with an admin flag (including bots), of whom 802 are active as editors, and as of August 2, 2010, are recorded as carrying out admin actions on the English Wikipedia, but see the note above. The Wikimedia Foundation's began as a major initiative in July 2009, designed to provide an outlet for the community to formulate a five-year plan that will shape the direction of the Foundation and its projects.

Community members, consultants, staff members and benefactors were invited to come together to contribute in a single forum, task forces were established to formulate recommendations, and everyone involved was invited to write proposals and provide recommendations. And served as facilitators (see also Eekim's earlier Signpost article: ); they developed and nurtured the Strategic Planning Process over the next few months.

The Bridgespan Group, a nonprofit strategy consulting group, facilitated the interviews and provided consulting for the process along with Eugene on behalf of his consulting firm, the Blue Oxen Group. As a result, there were, 14, a gathered for the process, and a specialized community to discuss and influence the direction of all Wikimedia projects. Editors were invited to vote on proposals and provide feedback, and a task force comprising some of the authors of the proposals finalized the recommendations based on their proposals. The also served as a testbed for two relatively new software features - the LiquidThreads talk pages and the feature for rating the proposals. After many passionate discussions, debates and brainstorming sessions—some of which occurred face-to-face at the recent Wikimania in Gdansk—we finally had a road-map for where the Foundation will proceed over the next few years. Broad groups of people were enlisted to discuss and refine these ideas. Bridgespan conducted, such as (the inventor of the wiki) and the late political scientist, and comparisons were made with the business models of similar organizations, such as the.

The Priorities outlined five specific areas of focus:. achieving continued growth in;. focusing on;.

increasing;. stabilizing the;.

encouraging. The Foundation will focus on the to achieve its growth in readership for the next decade—particularly India, Brazil and the Middle East. It will increase the quality of the content by focusing on more collaborations with cultural institutions, increasing inter-project collaboration across different languages and projects, and establishing quality baseline and reader-submitted rankings to judge the 'quality' metric. To increase participation, the Foundation will focus on increasing entry of new editors into some of the mature projects, and achieving higher retention rates among all editors. To stabilize the infrastructure, there will be a target of 99.99% uptime for site availability with secure offline copies of all projects, along with regular measurements of site performance in different parts of the world.

The Foundation will nurture more community-oriented campaigns as well as internal Wiki related gadgets, tools, and extensions for use in all the projects, and will provide up-to date archives of public data to researchers. At this stage, we want to circulate these priorities as widely as possible and to encourage those who supported them to view them and complete a survey that will provide metrics for comparison on what we want to achieve.

Sent out an email recently asking community members to provide feedback to the Movement Priorities through this. It is intended to give a target range and provide a benchmark for the priorities, and will be available until August 15. The 'Movement priorities', targets, and measures of success are located. The process is ongoing, and all community members—existing and new participants in the Process—are invited to read them and provide feedback. The finalized strategy plan will be presented to the Board for approval in late August. Although the Strategy Process is nearly finalized, there is still room for discussion along with a repository of facts and figures for the community to examine. Above all, there is now a place for the community to discuss the direction that it is going to take.

As a member of the strategy wiki, I would like to acknowledge all the support provided by Eugene and Philippe. Without their tireless guidance and continued support, this process would not have been possible; so, thank you guys. A B-2 Spirit soars after a refueling mission over the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Joined the project in late 2007/early 2008, with joining in April 2005, joining in the middle of last year and joining in the middle of 2006. When asked what the biggest problem has faced the project since they joined, they shout out different answers; Mjroots said that, one area of disagreement in the project is what constitutes a notable aircraft accident, something which attempts to resolve, but not always successfully. SidewinderX and Ahunt both agreed saying that there are many subjects, such as aircraft that still don’t have articles. In five years they’ve gone a long way, but there’s still a long way to go.

Bzuk made a completely different point saying: I noted that the group of aviation articles that I read had widely divergent writing styles and reference notes. Although that is the inevitable result of a 'too many cooks' syndrome, it appears to be getting better. Mjroots was inspired to join the project mainly due to his interest in civil aviation and aircraft accidents. He is also an occasional. Ahunt was a pilot for 31 years and is still an aviation journalist.

He laughs, “So I have good access to refs. I have tens of thousands of arcraft photos which I’m slowly uploading to illustrate articles.' SidewinderX admits that his background influenced him to join the project, as he is an aerospace engineer. He sees working on Wikipedia articles as a way to keep up with his field. With the added advantage of helping out others of course!

Bzuk’s first contributions were entirely self-serving as an article on VC winner Andrew Mynarski needed some work, but since then, he has dabbled in a number of other interest areas including automobiles, films and current events. He's a librarian (35+ years), writer (10 books on aviation and counting), filmmaker (13 films as screenwriter, technical consultant and director, mostly aviation documentaries), historian (of sorts) and is actively involved in the aviation industry as an executive director of an industry trade association (at least till August 2010). Steve Hinton flies 'Glacier Girl,' a P-38 Lightning dug out from 268 feet of ice in eastern Greenland in 1992. When onto the subject of Featured and Good articles/lists and whether they have been the project's best achievments, all have been involved in the promotion of at least one, apart from Ahunt who says that, in some cases, he has seen the relentless pursuit of these articles under their rigid rule sets, result in articles that are of lower quality. He thinks that instead of these articles being the project’s greatest achievements, what are really important are the level of coverage they currently have and the great working relationships they have on the project. Mjroots, SidewinderX and Bzuk, on the other hand, all have stories to tell.

Mjroots was responsible for the major expansion and promotion to GA status of. This was, he says, the hardest of his six GAs. He also added that FAs are supposed to be projects’ greatest achievements, although he was recently surprised to discover that a main page FA from this WikiProject WikiProject Aviation appeared not to meet FA standards at the time. SidewinderX has recently completed his first FAC.

He also, with the help of many others in the Wikiproject, got the article promoted to FA. He admits that it’s rewarding to have accomplished that although he feels that they could have got 5 articles to high B-class level, which, he says, ultimately seems more useful for the community. Bzuk has actively contributed to most, if not all, of the FA and GA projects. He says that if there is an agreement to work in a collaborative manner there is a great reward.

He also notes that the efforts devoted to in its latest reincarnation show the opposite with one editor dominating rather than working as part of a team. He feels strongly that the greatest achievements in the project are the coming together of experts in the field from all over the globe and yet being able to blend that diverse group together into a cohesive 'band of brothers.'

Aviation and air travel are a large project scope and the interviewees all deal with the vandalism level this brings in different ways. Mjroots is an Administrator so has access to tools and options such as warnings, protection and banning.

Overall, he feels that the level of vandalism is not overly high. Ahunt’s method is simple but effective: long watch lists he says, laughing. SidewinderX agrees; “Long watch lists and a sense of humor”, he nods. “Also,” he adds, “A lot of vandalism seems to be of the patriotic type for instance, Indian plane XYZ is soooooo much better than Chinese plane ABC. It helps to be able to step back, fix the vandalism and hope the vandals get bored and move on.

Bzuk backs up Mjroot’s point: “The aviation topic does not attract the great unwashed but most of the vandalism is concentrated on the high risk subjects such as POV pushing for being found on Island or in rewriting history in attacking the, but eventually, the troll attacks bring out the admins and a suitable defence is launched. One of the most consistent vandal fighting efforts is the simple vigilance that is bestowed by having so many editors having a large watch list of the controversial subjects in our group.” The interviewees' goals for the project all vary greatly. Mjroots’ is to create more aircrash articles and finish off, as well as creating other lists of accidents and incidents for major civil airliners. SidewinderX’s current goals include improving engine component articles (such as the recently improved and articles), as well as some of the high profile articles that recently lowered in quality, like and. Bzuk laughs; “My goals are to not waste so much time on trivial pursuits, such as this WikiWacky world nerds like me inhabit.'

When asked how a new editor can help the project they all chime in with ideas. Ahunt points out that, because the project is so large, an editor can help by working in any areas where they have knowledge or interest and especially that they have references for. SidewinderX furthers this saying, “Any editor with an interest can jump in and start expanding or creating the 1000s of articles that are stubs or nonexistent. I also think it would be great to get some non-technical editors to read through some of our more technical articles and help us make them more accessible to all readers. Bzuk adds that the Aviation WikiProject does need to encourage and support newcomers who can help to expand the small group of dedicated editors, since the task of chronicling the story of aviation is extremely vast. The new rules on BLPs haven’t really affected the project in any way, with Ahunt not working on them and SidewinderX not actually knowing what they mean.

Bzuk feels that they’re not much of a concern: ”This issue unreferenced BLPs is not so much a concern in a topic area dominated by “nuts and bolts” I mean, the articles here.' “But does tend to crop up, and one ever watchful editor in the US has been relentless in a pruning of the 'vanity press'. With the end of the interview in sight I ask the guys if there is anything they want to say before their 'ten minutes of fame' are over. As before they all want to get in first. Ahunt and SidewinderX both agree that the project needs more interested editors with a fresh point of view on subjects. Bzuk makes a similar point, saying that contributors who have an interest in a particularly specialized subject area can be a means of introducing the newbie to the benefits and rich rewards of working with a group of like-minded souls.
