Wikipeers

@Waltercolor: Would the WikiJournal that Lionel Scheepmans mentioned be close to your suggestion of "Wikipeers"? —2d37 (talk) 23:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello !

My idea for a "Wikipeers" is not only academic but open to anyone who wants to create an article of original work on any subject who would then be "wikipeered" before publication.

It is the same difference that the former Nupedia with experts writing articles and Wikipedia now with open editing.

Hoping to have answered to your question.

Hello, I share the previous point of view. Wikijournal an important initiative in the wiki ecosystem. But for me to, a real open journal have to be open to any contributors respecting the editorial frame and rules and not for a restricted academic public, even if cademics are very important for bringing expertises. The force of wikijournal as wikiversity is to bring opportunity to publish works (articles) that use primary sources wich are not allowed in Wikipedia.
