Teams Team 1: Skyler, Austin, Julian, Jordan Team 2: Rory, Jill, Cameron Team 3: Bobs, Ryan, Stephen Team 4: Cresta, Matt, Tyler

Wikipedia What are the Five Pillars? Did you look at them? How do wikipedia users judge each other? Can “reporters” edit Wikipedia? How to wikipedia editors gather information for breaking news?

Wikipedia How often are changes made to the Wikipedia? How do admins protect articles? Why do people put so much time into Wikipedia? What is NPOV? Does the Wikipedia keep all articles submitted? What is “Transparency”? What sort of things define the Wikipedia community? Does Jimmy Wales feel that the Wikipedia will evolve towards multimedia?

Wikipedia What page is used as an example of NPOV enforcement? How do you talk to specific people within Wikipedia? How does Wikipedia identify you if you don't log in? What is a "watchlist"?

Wikipedia Controversies * Who is John Seigenthaler? * What is the lesson of the Seigenthaler controversy? Why is he unhappy even when incorrect information is removed? What other example is given? What was the whole “Nature” thing about? Were real errors found in the EB?

Wikipedia Controversies Can we trust off-line sources like EB more than online ones? It Wikipedia more trustworthy than many sources that people consider good or unbiased? What did Jimmy Wales do to make Wikipedia more trustworthy?

Wikipedia Controversies * What did "Nature" report about the accuracy of Wikipedia? * How does the Wikipedia publication model differ from traditional academic publishing?

Wikipedia 2.0 What is the basic idea behind Wikipedia 2.0? What percentage of all Internet users visit Wikipedia on a given day? Have you ever seen an article in which the “bad stuff” isn’t obvious? What is the WikiScanner? Is it possible to rate Wikipedia contributors accurately? What are possible downsides to this?

Wikipedia 2.0 How many “trusted editors” are envisioned? How will the “trusted article” be presented in the English version of Wikipedia? What changes to the wiki software are being proposed? How is this like EBay? How did they rate editors of the Italian wikipedia? What this reliable? What problem is foreseen about this rating system? Does lack of trust prevent you from using the Wikipedia for serious academic work?

WikiScanner Stuff How can they figure out who is editing Wikipedia? What sort of questionable edits were found? Did these edits get reverted? How are articles protected against vandalism?
