Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-11-18/Discussion report



In brief

 * MEDRS discussions: The talk page of Identifying reliable sources (medicine), a guideline covering what is and isn't a reliable medical source, has received many comments in the last month or so. A few RfCs have been started on the scope of the guideline; the main discussion is here.
 * Non-admin arbitrators? Since several ArbCom candidates are non-admins, editors have asked whether non-admin ArbCom members should be granted the admin toolkit.
 * An ongoing struggle: Harassment has plagued Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects for years. The Wikimedia Foundation opened a discussion with the community regarding harassment on Wikimedia projects a few weeks ago; Wikimedians can submit their ideas, experiences, and proposals here.

Updates
Updates on the discussions covered in the last discussion report:
 * BASC disbanded: The motion for the disbandment of the Ban Appeals Subcommittee has passed. (More information, in the Signpost, can be found here.)
