My draft thesis copy is pretty drafty. (The introduction and literature review had almost a complete rework. Ditto the parts explaining a methodology.) My approach to doing social media is different than most other research done because I focus on follower and audience metrics, which is not the norm for how this research is done. You can reference it if you want, but there are much more relevant types of work being done by respected academics like Henry Jenkins and the academic I cited in the AfD whose name is escaping me. There are plenty of academics working in this area. This highlights one area. Most communication departments have a fair amount of focus on it. This shows social media is an area of research. This is a professor who researches it. For me, the issue of academics doing work in it is just so... obvious if you look that it is hard to explain where to look. I mean, class at Northwestern. But yeah, blah blah tl;dr version: Feel free to cite but better sources exist. -- LauraHale ( talk) 22:09, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
