Updates:

• Diff post is drafted and revised. Once @leila has reviewed (please confirm once finished), I will move over to WordPress per directions at: https://diff.wikimedia.org/editorial-guidelines/
• I've worked on drafting a presentation for AoIR. It still needs some work, but I aim to finalize it next week ahead of the conference

Updates:

• Diff post has been revised based on some feedback from Leila. Leila has a request out to WMF Movement Comms to confirm something about the audience of Diff. Once this input is received, I still plan to move over the WordPress (per https://diff.wikimedia.org/editorial-guidelines/). For now, I'm delaying this in order to avoid making revisions in multiple places.
• Revised white paper is available at OSF Preprints v2: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/uyxnf_v2. Note the title has been updated to 'Privacy in Public: Navigating Research, Perosnal Data, and Safety on Wikipedia'.
• I have some work remaining in preparation for the AoIR panel next week (panel: 'Aoir Ethics In Action: Guidelines, Regulations, And Practices Across Diverse Global Communities'). I will prioritize this work tomorrow.

@Easikingarmager Thanks for putting the diff draft together. I labeled yours as Draft 1, and created a Draft 2 tab with my proposed changes. I ported the majority of your content from Draft 1 but you will see some changes in the opening parts. I assume the publication will be for when you're back from AoIR 2025. Good luck with the conference and the panel. :)

We participated in a successful AoIR panel, during which the white paper was featured as a case study and communicated to a broader audience. In the next few days I will get the Diff post into the official queue now that revisions to it are complete.

Diff post has been submitted for review by Diff editorial board. So I don't forget about it, I'll leave this task open until it's officially public, at which point I'll share the link and close the task.
