Grants talk:IdeaLab/truth is a speech, it is not a name - la verità è un discorso, non un nome

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Editors and administrators don't have a good way to determine users' actual identities, let alone figure out if they are experts. If the experts have access to publishing in a reliable source, then their ideas can get out there and eventually worked into the article without having editors follow reasoning from people who may or may not be actual experts. Additionally, this could become a way for users to publish their ideas when other publishing methods have failed, giving the naive user the impression that the ideas have more weight than other experts give it. Volunteer editors are not experts in determining complicated logical theses in many subjects; this is why we let these "truths" be fleshed out in reliable sources, where the identities of experts, editors, and peer reviewers can be confirmed. —Ost316 (talk) 17:16, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Grants to improve your project[edit]

Greetings! The Project Grants program is currently accepting proposals for funding. The deadline for draft submissions is tommorrow. If you have ideas for software, offline outreach, research, online community organizing, or other projects that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers, start your proposal today! Please encourage others who have great ideas to apply as well. Support is available if you want help turning your idea into a grant request.

The next open call for Project Grants will be in October 2016. You can also consider applying for a Rapid Grant, if your project does not require a large amount of funding, as applications can be submitted anytime. Feel free to ping me if you need help getting your proposal started. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 22:49, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
