I confirm that I will act in accordance with the policies of the WikiJournal of Science. Jessica Polka (discuss • contribs) 00:46, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support - Having an associate editor with prokaryotic cell bio and synthetic biology will be useful. Especially, their work with ASAPbio and TRANSPOSE shows a clear commitment to a breadth of OA projects. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 01:32, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Per Sylvain below, I agree that their experience would also be particularly valuable to the editorial board. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 01:20, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support - I'll let the biologists speak about biology, and only comment on the 'open' aspect. Jessica Polka is manifestly very experienced at a senior level in advancing open scientific publishing. She could help the journal evolve from its current experimental status, towards a more mature organization. I would also support an application to the editorial board (rather than associate editor). Sylvain Ribault (discuss • contribs) 19:59, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support - Welcome aboard! And I concur with Sylvain's supporting an application to the editorial board. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 22:19, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

I confirm that I will act in accordance with the policies of the WikiJournal of Science. Muthineni (discuss • contribs) 05:01, 11 February 2019 (UTC).
- Oppose - The work with NETPIE is certainly interesting, but I think that it is still too early for them to join as an associate editor. I would certainly welcome another application in a year or two after they've accumulated some additional experience. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 04:02, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - The candidate should be welcome to join the WJS community because we need an expertise in engineering, but more experience is required for the associate editor status.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 20:14, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - The candidate seems keen and helpful but perhaps it would be best to wait for a little more experience. Chiswick Chap (discuss • contribs) 14:18, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
- Support - The candidate is one of my close associate, who has experience in research and technical publishing (https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSCCC.2018.8703338) in his early career. I think his experience in NETPIE and other publishing will be an advantage in evaluating the technical papers in Engineering. --Gorlapraveen123 (discuss • contribs) 21:28, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. I'm not convinced that publishing blog articles are the best examples, but this applicant chose to use it to demonstrate his competency. Moreover, I could only find 1 publication by this individual so I do not think he has enough experience for this role. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:18, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Agree with the assessment of OhanaUnitedTalk page. --- FULBERT (discuss • contribs) 13:49, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

- Support - Considering his experience in publishing, It is good to have someone from engineering background.--Gorlapraveen123 (discuss • contribs) 21:31, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. While it's admirable to have a first-author peer-reviewed publication before finishing undergrad, I think it would be beneficial to wait a little longer and gain more experience when you have just finished undergrad. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:31, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose for the same reasons as OhanaUnited. Sylvain Ribault (discuss • contribs) 18:54, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Associate editor application of David Wirth
David Wirth MS Aerospace Engineering, PhD* Nanoengineering (website)
Areas of expertise: Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nanotechnology, Additive Manufacturing
Relevant experience:
- Professional - Researcher, PhD Student at University of California, San Diego studying conductive polymers, hybrid nanoparticles and nanobiotechnology. Former engineering consultant for semiconductor industry, founder of electrochemistry-based 3D printing company. Guest lecturer for a number of 3D printing courses.
- Publishing - Published masters thesis and two conference papers on the subject of solid rocket propulsion using nanomaterials. Regularly reviewed advanced technology proposals during my time as an engineer for the US Air Force.
- Open - Contributor to wikipedia since 2010, minor corrections/edits to science-related pages.
I confirm that I will act in accordance with the policies of the WikiJournal of Science. Dwirth9 (discuss • contribs) 04:48, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
Could you provide more details on your contributions to Wikipedia? Sylvain Ribault (discuss • contribs) 11:17, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Sylvain Ribault: Of course, just to clarify I haven't been a major contributor, just minor edits and corrections to various pages as a guest. Dwirth9 (discuss • contribs) 05:45, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- Dwirth9 I am inclined to support your application, based primarily on this UCLA MAE Annual Report. Unlike scientists, engineers have many opportunities for growth that do not require a PhD or publications list. The WJS might get its best engineering editors outside the traditional academic path. Before I "vote", could you tell me more about what you did at Fabric8Labs?--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 16:58, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- Guy vandegrift Sure thing, and I appreciate the inclination to support. To answer your question, I was the original inventor of their IP and served as their chief science officer for roughly 2 years.
- Thank you for the answer. Still, I must Oppose this application as premature: very interesting background but not enough experience with academia and Wikipedia. Sylvain Ribault (discuss • contribs) 20:09, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- Regretfully, Oppose at this time, despite the welcome technical expertise. I believe that a certain amount of ease with the vagaries of both the publishing & editing world and the WP environment are necessary, and I'm unsure whether these are present yet. --Florian (Elmidae) (talk · contribs) 13:35, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Please consider some additional active on-Wiki editing and more involvement as a volunteer paper reviewer first and then please consider re-applying. --- FULBERT (discuss • contribs) 13:53, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose, although I disagree that deep Wikipedia experience is a prerequisite, I think that significant experience in two of the three areas is a benchmark. The patent and practical experience as an engineer is highly valuable and if you would consider applying again in a year or two, I think that your application would be very competitive. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 04:17, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - I did not vote earlier as I am a recent addition myself. However I agree with the general concensus here. I would like to see some more experience for this role. However certainly a prospect for the future. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 19:26, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

- Support Welcome aboard! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 18:19, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- Neutral. I found one publication in 2015 by this author which was published in a known predatory open access journal (which was known to be such as early as 2010). This demonstrated that the applicant may not be well-versed in the open access side of experience. I didn't cast an oppose vote because this is the only one I found in an otherwise-unblemished publication records. OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:20, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

I would imagine that in a 20 odd year professional career this has included much reviewing as the candidate states. Cross-wiki check shows 13 edits across all wikis, so has not done much on Wikimedia however that is not necessary. I will tentatively support.Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 00:51, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose on further thought Editorial Board I cannot support at this time, maybe for Associate Editor, but not Board. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 18:45, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose for now. Nothing really open in the "open" expericence apparently. The applicant could prove me wrong by giving more details, and links to his openly available contributions. Failing that, please consider getting some experience by contributing to Wikipedia or sister projects, blogging, publishing in this journal, etc. Sylvain Ribault (discuss • contribs) 07:46, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose as an editorial board member for now. Their technical background is very interesting, however additional experience in either an editorial role or as an open knowledge contributor has been the bar for previous board members. However, we have had associate editors gain experience by assisting a board member with submitted manuscripts within their area of expertise. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 10:09, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
