Hello, T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)! It is odd you are unable to access the site. Anyway, I have made it available on a server. The LATTES CV is the place to when you need to know the background and production of Brazilian researchers and professors. What I believe is interesting for you there is a list of all publications I have authored and co-authored, which includes: 22 peer-reviewed articles, 6 books (5 books I have organized and 1 I have written) and 24 book chapters. Most of this literature is written in Portuguese --but I've had quite a few in other languages, mostly French and Spanish. My last publication, if I am not mistaken, is in a book on alternative democracies, in Spanish. Happy to provide more information if needed. --Joalpe (discuss • contribs) 23:27, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sarah M. Vital Speech Communication MA, MLIS (website)
Areas of expertise: Information literacy, scholarly communication, online communication, social networking, social media

Relevant experience:

Professional - I am an academic librarian, currently serving the School of Economics and Business Administration at Saint Mary's College of California. My work with students and faculty focuses on critical information literacy, media literacy, and digital literacy, specifically questioning trustworthiness, what makes authority, and what voices and experiences are included and excluded in the traditional and new publishing media. I often focus also on the social nature of information and the critical research issues inherent in algorithms. I have also been a part of the Project Information Literacy research team, primarily looking at the tools and strategies college students and recent graduates use in research, the guidance faculty give in the area of research, and the gaps in between. Outside of the library, I am an adjunct professor of business communication. In the course, I help students analyze audience, organize their writing, use context-appropriate research resources, and formulate persuasive arguments.
Publishing - My experience using Wikipedia in the classroom was shared as guest post on the Wikiedu site, in a blog post called Writing to be Read, Not Just Graded.[1]
Open - I've used Wikipedia in my class for students to practice business writing for general audiences and attribution of ideas and quotes. I've served as informal peer editor for some Project Information Literacy reports.

Areas of expertise: writing studies, writing in the sciences, research methods, writing pedagogy, Wikipedia pedagogy

Relevant experience:

Professional - I am Associate Teaching Professor in the Writing Program at Northeastern University with 16 years teaching writing at the university level (focus on advanced writing for the sciences and technical professions), 13 years in faculty mentoring roles, 11 years experience using Wikipedia in the classroom, and 4 years working with WikiEd. I've presented many times on various aspects of teaching with Wikipedia at regional, national, and international writing studies conferences (the BRAWN Summer Institute, NUWAC, IWAC, CCCC) and at the 2016 Wikimedia Diversity Conference. I've served in faculty governance at both department and college level.

This is an administrative closure based on obvious vote fraud. This is done without predjudice to the candidate. We simply can't have a discussion of the candidate's qualifications in the presence of voting interference. I'm semi-protecting this page to only allow autconfirmed accounts to edit it. The stacked votes in this discussion are disruptive to wikiversity, as a whole. In the future I would recommend using checkuser requests to verify if a single controlling party is using multiple accounts to influence the outcome. --mikeu talk 19:52, 3 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

  •   Comment - Their promotion of pseudoscience concerns me. Although they are applying to the Humanities journal and not the sciences journal, it makes me question how far their fringe views extend to other areas. I've struggled to find works of theirs that have been peer reviewed. Since I'm only an advisor for the journal, and my opinion is heavily skewed by their pseudoscientific works, it is up for the editorial board to decide on their relevant expertise. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 03:00, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
    •   Comment - Thanks for your question. Critique always helps self-examination. Actually I applied for this position because my private views about theology or theology training does not overflow into my objective works in Religion, theology, ethics, Indian history and culture. Over the years I have realized increasingly that pseudoscientific outlooks need to be weeded out rigorously from humanities. I hope to be highly useful in doing so because I have relevant training in such areas and I can spot them faster than those not trained in these areas. Dr. Johnson C. Philip (discuss • contribs) 03:48, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
  •   Comment - I echo concerns about pseudoscientific promotion, and hesitate, for right or wrong, on how that would reflect on the credibility of the journal. Open-access and user created content faces an uphill battle for recognition and respect. While I constantly struggle to balance my personal opinions about someone's beliefs or scholarship with being nonjudgmental and an advocate for diverse experience (I am, afterall, a librarian), the associative concern does give me pause. Does experience in the medium (as this applicant has with Knol) rise above background concerns? I certainly would like more comment from the Board. Smvitaltalk 10:40, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
    •   Comment - Thanks for the concerns you expressed. In fact my background makes me highly suited to spot pseudosciences compared to many others. Since I have training in multiple areas considered pseudoscience, and since at the same time I have training in physics, I can be a big help in keeping pseudosciences away from this journal. Dr. Johnson C. Philip (discuss • contribs) 03:30, 28 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
  •   Oppose Based on the Wiki article on Johnson C. Philip (provided as his bio), it appears largely unsupported with reliable citations and reads more as a fan page. I was not able to find evidence of work with research or peer-reviewed academic expertise. There are lists of self-published pamphlets (referred to as books), though I could not locate anything to suggest involvement with broad academic research. The area of religion that is mentioned throughout seems to focus on creationism as a science, which seems contrary in many ways to more readily acceptable aspects of scientific method across the mainstream academy. --- FULBERT (discuss • contribs) 03:01, 5 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
    •   Comment I wish to appeal against the above opposition. Wikipedia itself List of Christians in science and technology has made it clear that one's religious credentials and personal beliefs do not have to affect one's scientific work. Though I have a strong creationist background (Cf. the Wiki document I cited about myself), I am known in Christian circles as a person who tries to push to community to an NPOV stand in as many things as possible. In fact an Open Theology movement is brewing in theological circles where NPOV is gaining momentum. A journal "Apologetics" launched by me has invited even atheists to submit papers critical for publication. The aim is to develop an NPOV theology. I am sure those who evaluate will take these things into consideration.
    •   Comment If my Wiki biography reads like a fan page, and if it has weaknesses, that reflects only upon people who wrote it. I do not know any of them. That article cannot be used against my scholarship if those who wrote it did a shoddy work.
    •   Comment I am 65 years old. I am based in India. So it is practically impossible to trace my academic work on the net. The net came very late to my country, and by that time I was already semi retired. I appeal to the editors to give me a chance to prove my scholarship and commitment to NPOV. I assure them that with a strong background in numerous sociological fields I will be an asset to the Journal.
    •   Comment Added February 1, 2019. Today I found that there is a whole school of theology on Wikipedia under PART OF THE FACULTY FOR HUMANITIES. This makes my case strong that theological beliefs of a person are not a disqualification for professional activities or for Wiki involvement. Here is the Wiki link https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/School:Theology. Dr. Johnson C. Philip (discuss • contribs) 16:44, 5 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
    •   Comment Such words as "Quantum Chromodynamics" must be supported by (at least one) reference to a research article in a peer refereed journal in physics. I tried to find one, in vain. And, about "practically impossible to trace my academic work on the net": why? I am familiar with some Indian experts, for example, Raja Bhat, and can find easily their works (old and new) on the net. Boris Tsirelson (discuss • contribs) 06:13, 2 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
**   Comment I did my PhD in Quantum Chromodynamics in 1980s, when the Internet did not exist. The net became available in my University only in late 1990's and by that time had already left the University. So none of my works related to PhD can be found on the net. However, anyone can search for my name and find numerous popular level works on physics on Amazon Kindle. Simplifying physics to an average reader has been my passion. Dr. Johnson C. Philip (discuss • contribs) 18:21, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
  •   Oppose at present, I reluctantly oppose as the external links from the relevant Wiki page only link to self-created content. The ethics statement for these journals states that 'The full names and affiliations of the editorial board members should be displayed online' - at the moment, the only affiliation I can find is a self-created website. Public domain affiliation with an institution or reference to some peer-reviewed work would be preferable before approving. I accept there may be an inclusion issue here - with this being an insurmountable barrier for some would-be-editors and recommend this is discussed in more detail in other forums Jacknunn (discuss • contribs) 06:58, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
  •   Oppose - I am apprehensive on multiple levels that his involvement could induce a bias towards pseudoscience within the board(s), there could be a clash in belief systems and a departure from scientific methodology. Diptanshu 💬 10:25, 10 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
    •   Comment I appeal again. 1. All objections raised from western perspective about my physics background are prejudiced. 2. A good background in theology or apologetics does not prevent me from working with NPOV for the journal. 3. The main problem here seems to be that objections are being raised POV whereas any critique should be from NPOV. 4. Since none of you have gone through my printed non fiction work (large textbooks, but in Indian language) you have no idea of my academic work. 5. Unless I am given a chance, all objections that my work will be POV are invalid. The critics are showing a POV against a person and judging me in the light of your POV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Johnson C. Philip (talk • contribs) 27 February 2019 (UTC)
    •   Comment Here are some undisputable facts 1. I have an earned PhD in Quantum Chromodynamcis 2. I have an earned ThD in Christian Apologetics 3. I have published the following books in Malayalam language: 800 page systematic theology, 800 page christian apologetics, 3000 page (3 volume) Bible Encyclopedia, 1500 page Dictionary of Theology, 600 page Bible Survey. Photographs can be supplied if needed. . I am a LIFE member of Indian Physics Association (like APA), and Indian Association of Physics Teachers. At present I am working single-handedly on a 3 to 5 volume Encyclopedia of Indian Coins and people worldwide have given me permission to use their coin pictures. All these tomes were trade publications, and not self published. Thus you cannot question my qualification and attainments. Everything else (that I MIGHT support POV in the journal is simply a POV without proof). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Johnson C. Philip (talk • contribs) 9 March 2019 (UTC)
  •   Comment - I'm in opposition to this application due to the suspicious activity of the above noted accounts. At the very least I would recommend striking the support comments from editors who have not made mainspace contributions to our project. I would also suggest a speedy close. We might also want to consider using a bot to automatically check for unusual activity to alert us to the possibility of vote stacking. (note: I also tagged the WP biography with notability and self-published sources issues) --mikeutalk 21:58, 9 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Note: I've changed my Oppose to Comment due to my failure to meet the eligibility requirement in the journal bylaws, in particular: "Editors with at least 30 edits to WikiJournal of Humanities pages." --mikeu talk 19:36, 12 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
  •   Comment - I've read through much of "Introduction To Integrated Christian Apologetics" by the applicant and co-author. Currently, assuming good faith, we have six supports and five opposes. We have 19 board members on this journal and so far only two have voted, one I consider an expert on religion, our other two have not yet voted. I see no reason for a speedy close. There's also the option of assistant editor should a religious submission occur the applicant can be allowed to help with. I also agree with Smvital and T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo). Some pseudoscience has become main-line science and some has not. But pseudoscience may not be suitable for this journal. Coming back to the piece I read at least in part I was struck by a feeling of faith über alles. But I'm no expert on religion. Can such an approach be beneficial to a journal of the humanities when the authors of the above appear to believe we have elevated ourselves to the level of God? And, I'm uncertain that this is a fair question. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 02:47, 10 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
  •   Comment - I accept the outcome because it has been made "This is done without prejudice to the candidate.". I am not at a level where I can check for voting fraud, but I appreciate that those who are able to check have done so. I would want to be elected only on the basis of honest votes+my qualification, if such an opportunity arises in future. Thank you very much all of you here. Dr. Johnson C.
