[[Wikipedia 101]] [[en:user:Phoebe_Ayers]] [[California Library Association]] [[November 13, 2006]]

Part 1: the past What is it? How did it get so big?! Why are we talking about this?

What is it? “The free encyclopedia” But also: Related to wiki-dictionaries, textbooks and citizen journalism A place to find open-source media A reference desk A huge community One of the world’s most popular websites A site with a mission

Wikipedia basics GNU/GFDL licensed content: free as in beer and free as in speech Open to all and editable by anyone Edit anonymously or with an account Funded mostly (>80%) by individual donations –Tiny budget and 3 paid employees

Why is Wikipedia special? Multilingualism/multiculturalism People are using it Astonishing size It’s remarkably good Fundamental change to information production, dissemination, and authority: You’ve never seen anything like this before, ever

Why? “Imagine a world in which every single person is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge… That’s what we’re doing.” -- Jimmy Wales

Wikipedia is “more popular” than… Ask Jeeves Altavista Google UK, Japan, and other local Googles Amazon.com CNN, BBC and the NY Times Slashdot.org Britannica.com (100x more popular) AOL

1.5 Million+ articles in English 6M+ pages in English 20,000+ active users, 2.5m accounts Over 5M articles total (all languages) Average article has been edited 14 times+ 24,000+ requests a second for all projects A sense of size… Based on WP:Statistics, Erik Zachte’s scripts and Samuel Klein’s estimations of Dec 2005

The future Wikipedia 1.0 Verifiability Is Wikipedia sustainable?

Wikipedia and Librarians Talk to your patrons –Gateway source –Not uniformly reviewed –May be inaccurate Check cataloging Just another source…

Evaluation criteria Edit history – how many, who References Text style – wikified? Follows formatting conventions? Verifiable?

What can an info pro do? Edit Add sources! Categorize Provide input … –For instance, citation format proposal

How? Create an account Dive in… –Start with topics you love –Participate in clean-up or fact-check projects –Tap into the community –Be bold!

Beautiful things…
