[HASTAC - Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory] Making Knowledge Public | HASTAC: I've known many prominent philosophers who are diligent about writing for Wikipedia and editing erroneous or just one-sided entries and the Classics entries look quite good as well. So what is it with my own home profession?

[Ross Mayfield's Weblog] Ross Mayfield's Weblog: Wikimaniacs or Wikirealists?: The right to share is different from the freedom to share, because when you own the right you can contribute property to the commons at your best discretion. When a developer has a great idea at two in the morning for an open source project, having to seek permission from an employer before engaging hinders the creative process. 

[New Media Research Studio] I Went On Spring Break and All I Got Was This Lousy Reading ...: Lanier is quick to note that he admits some good can come out of the Cult of Wikipedia, but that we should be concerned about negative issues that can arise from mass human mobilization, citing fascism and ultra-communism as political examples of group mentality getting out of hand. He reiterates his concerns with the loss of tone and authorship that stems from anonymous information sharing, stating, “It’s the erasing of identity that I find so dangerous.”

[Spellbound Blog] German Federal Archives, Crowdsourcing & the Wikimedia Commons ...: For documentary purposes the German Federal Archive often retained the original image captions, which may be erroneous, biased, obsolete or politically extreme. Factual corrections and alternative descriptions are encouraged separately from the original description.

[On The Margins] Masood Mortazavi's Weblog: Signing the SCA with an intent to contribute to any given Sun-sponsored open-source project would also suffice when it comes to contributing to any other Sun-sponsored open-source project.

[T Jantunen.com] Wikipedia vandals » T Jantunen.com: Obviously false, malicious or biased material like this is normally removed within minutes by Wikipedia’s team of volunteer administrators, who work round-the-clock to try and improve its credibility as a source of information and its commitment to balance and consensus.

[P2P Foundation] P2P Foundation » Blog Archive » The Epistemology of Wikipedia: And this phenomenon, often referred to as the Wisdom of Crowds, seems to apply to Web 2.0 projects.5 For example, in a study sponsored by the journal Nature (Giles 2005) that involved a blind comparison by experts, the error rate for Wikipedia articles (on several scientific topics) was higher, but only slightly higher, than the error rate for Britannica articles.

[Speechless] Creative Commons: Attar’s ”˜Conference of the Birds’ « Speechless: According to Wikipedia, Kurdish poet Nezami (1100s?)’s famous adaptation of the story of Layla and Majnun (Leyli and Madjnun) from Arab folklore reads astonishingly like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. I believe that Layla and Majnin are to the East what Romeo and Juliet are to the West?

[Néojaponisme] Néojaponisme » Blog Archive » The Wikipedia Measure: The problem is that there is a critical lack of understanding by the elites (at least the ones at the helm) that the potential for the internet is beneficial for society, and this has hindered the development of the Japanese internet in two ways (1) a near-complete reliance on foreign innovations that must be translated into the mother language, which takes time; and (2) a failure by the government to establish clear rules of the road and punish troublemakers (2ch!!!!)

[Coding Horror] Coding Horror: The World's Largest MMORPG: You're Playing it Right Now: Certainly, the game eve-online that a couple including myself have mentioned already in nearly entirely player content driven, including the economy. CCP has done an excellent job at remaining hands-off the player driven economy for the 7 years the game has been running (as a single global shard, that's right quarter of a million other players to interact with).

[The Muslim Network for Baha'i Rights] The Muslim Network for Baha’i Rights » Blog Archive » Debunking ...: That’s what inspired me to use elements of his paper as well as conduct some research on my own and create a Wikipedia article that eventually became my book, Debunking the Myths. I wanted there to be a work that assessed the historical nature of the most prevalent claims leveled against the Baha’is, and that’s basically why I wrote it.

[The Daily Endorsement RSS] Dickipedia - New Funny Wiki for Jackasses from HuffPo - Esquire: Add anentry for your own name, and suddenly Dickipedia becomes the perfect venuefor your own public appraisal — even better than that time in high school when you carved your name into a desk, only to have someone write "fag" next toit.
