User:SDY/BLPN review

The idea here is to create a protocol for synthesis of previous biography of living person noticeboard reports. In short, it will distill the history on BLP/N to countable form so that it can be trended and analyzed.

The data collected will attempt to address the following basic questions. Sample data is included parenthetically. I will be collecting the data in a google docs spreadsheet, though I may do some of it in Excel and copy it up. Data will be collected in a page for each talk page archive.


 * 1. "What is the name of the primary article in the notice?" (just for tracking purposes)
 * 2. "What are the common events reported to the BLP noticeboard?" (Each broad type, i.e. "new article lacking references", will be given a short title to be defined and recorded)
 * 3. "Who typically reports the events?" (Self, IP, new (defined as <50 edits), SPA, established user, Jimbo)
 * 4. "If a specific user's actions are of concern, what are the types of users associated with BLP complaints?" (Same categories as #2, minus Jimbo, plus "no specific user")
 * 5. "What is the current quality of articles that are associated with BLP complaints?" (i.e. FA, DYK, stub, deleted, etc...)
 * 6. "What percentage of notices are for articles that are alleged to be malicious or otherwise have the potential for serious harm?" (Binary yes/no)
 * 7. "What percentage of notices address articles that are not BLPs, but involve biographical information?" (Binary yes/no)
 * 8. "When was the notice posted" (date)
 * 9. "When was the last edit made to the post" (date)

Some possible classifications of events:


 * "Redflag"  Notice specifically alleges malicious activity.
 * "Serious"  Notice suggests malicious activity, such as libel.
 * "NPOV-"  Notice primarily alleges neutrality problem that is negative but not malicious, such as inappropriate weight given to a topic.
 * "NPOV+"  Notice primarily alleges neutrality problem such as self promotion.
 * "Fact"  Notice alleges factual error in article.
 * "Vandal"  Notices of vandalism to BLP articles.
 * "WP:N"   Notice primarily regards notability problems, such as WP:BLP1E.
 * "WP:RS"  Notice primarily alleges problems with sourcing, either unreliable source, synthesis, original research, etc...
 * "Cat"  Notice alleges inappropriate categorization.

For tracking purposes only:


 * "!BLPN"  Notices that are not alleged BLP violations or are otherwise not appropriate to the noticeboard.
