Taming the Data Stampede with Wikis

[Bitesize Bio] Well, the creation and use of Wikis can help scientists to lasso the stampede of new genomic and proteomic data and corral it into useful knowledge rather than just random facts and figures running wild on the open frontier of the Internet.

How To Get In Wikipedia: Get An Article Written About How You Aren ...

[Untitled] First off, the article could easily have had more citations to satisfy Wikipedia's verifiability requirements (which are absolutely necessary as Wikipedia is a tertiary source). The fulfillment of notability guidelines (which are just that-- guidelines) basically follows easily once something is verifiable.

Britannica Boss Trash Talks Google And Wikipedia | Techdirt

[Techdirt] I'm not sure I agree on either point (and, to be honest, there are times I do Google searches and am upset when the top result is not to a Wikipedia entry -- as I've come to almost expect it now), but even if we grant Cauz the premise that (a) Wikipedia has quality problems and (b) Google favors Wikipedia too much, it still seems slightly worrisome that Cauz is even trash talking about those issues. Obviously, it wouldn't make sense to ignore either company, but a good CEO focuses on his company's own strengths in interviews and avoids trashing the competition most of the time.

How to Handle “Unsanctioned” Wikis in Your Organization

[Untitled] In reality, a large number of companies may already have employees using wikis for work purposes without the authority to do so. Perhaps a better question than whether unsanctioned use of wikis should be tolerated is: “How and what can be done to ensure employees use wikis productively and for the larger good?”

Wiki Northeast: Wikimedia New York City

[Untitled] I'm pleased to announce (and frankly a little surprised that I'm the first) that Wikimedia New York City has been approved by the WMF board and is now an official chapter.

The Essentials Of Cool: 50 Cent - I Get Money [Wikimedia Remix]

[*The Essentials Of Cool*] With this remix I also felt that since the original I Get Money sampled Audio Two's Top Billin' it would be a good idea to put a little bit more of an old school feel into the track so with that in mind I even sampled drums from Top Billin'.

Infothought: Roger McNamee (Venture Capitalist) on Wikimedia ...

[Untitled] While Senge's works are not unpopular among successful learning organizations, his ideas appear to be singularly unpopular among the core cabal of dysfunctional organizations like Wikipedia. The ruling cabal of the Wikimedia Foundation appears to be allergic to Senge's ideas, and unhappy with anyone who has the temerity to introduce his recommended Best Ethical Practices into the Wikisphere.

Beesley spins the world wide web of wikis | The Industry Standard

[Untitled] The sort of public community-based wikis that Wikia hosts rely very much on group ownership, and we think that providing hosting or premium services via one person who is paying could upset that by implying that the individual is responsible for the site which decreases the motivations of others to build and maintain it. Instead, Wikia is focused on the advertising-model, where we display ads from a variety of networks and directly from companies.

MediaWiki API (Scripting News)

[Scripting News] Well, thanks to Andrew Burton I got access to a MediaWiki installation with the API turned on, and I was able to make a couple of trivial calls successfully, but I hit a wall when it came to doing the thing I set out to do. I have no doubt from reading the docs that it's possible, I just can't figure out what the dance is.
