Referees  So far, Wikiversity has had no need for Referees. A few Wikiversity participants are interested in research and they are all well-behaved. Eventually Wikiversity is going to attract some bogus research and it will be useful to have the help of experienced Wikiversity participants who can help deal with such problems. Also, a long-term goal is to establish communities of peers who are willing to perform formal reviews of research reports. Such needs are discussed at Review board.

In preparation for the future, it might be wise to start a list of Wikiversity participant who could be nominated to be referees. An existing page with a list of people who are interested in research is Portal:Research/Researchers and there are lists of participants at research projects such as Learn to learn a wiki way. The following list is just for starters (please add more).
