Acho a ideia inspiradora:
"This case study examines the use of Wikipedia by the Ball State
University Libraries as an opportunity to raise the visibility of
digitized historic sheet music assets made available in the university's
Digital Media Repository. By adding links to specific items in this
collection to relevant, existing Wikipedia articles, Ball State
successfully and efficiently expanded the user base of this collection
in the Digital Media Repository by vastly enhancing the discoverability
of the collection's assets.

Digital Media Repository. By adding links to specific items in this
collection to relevant, existing Wikipedia articles, Ball State
successfully and efficiently expanded the user base of this collection
in the Digital Media Repository by vastly enhancing the discoverability
of the collection's assets...
"The results of this study show that the addition of links from relevant
Wikipedia articles to individual digitized assets in the Hague Sheet
Music Collection in the Ball State University Digital Media Repository
was an overwhelming success. Despite the fact that only 57 links to 40
assets were added to Wikipedia articles, pageviews for the collection of
149 assets roughly tripled as a result of this effort. The adding of
links at the item level provided a plethora of highly-visible entry
points to this collection's assets, raising awareness of the existence
of these resources to interested Internet users who were previously
unaware of these materials, as is suggested by the collection's use
statistics. The success of this initiative is also remarkable in its
efficiency, generating a large number of new digital patrons while
requiring relatively little time to plan and execute."
Includes an encouraging graph. :-)

Alguém sabe que linha do localsettings e parâmetro é preciso alterar para
exigir confirmação de novos usuários? Enquanto a idéia da internalização na
wikiversidade vai amadurecendo, preciso tentar controlar a sanha do robô
polonês. O Sir Lestaty nos lê?

In 2005, Professor Ruy de Queiroz of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco
(UFPE) in Brazil was browsing articles on the Portuguese Wikipedia in logic
and the theory of computation, his speciality. Ruy found them
disappointingly lacking — but when he browsed the same articles on the
English Wikipedia, he realized that they were quite good.
So Ruy set out to change the Portuguese Wikipedia's coverage of these
areas, by engaging his students at UFPE in the efforts. Since 2005, he's
asked students in his "Logic for Computer Science" and "Theoretical
Informatics" courses to translate or write articles on the topics for extra
credit.

Professor Ruy de Queiroz
"This has worked very well, and we have produced a reasonable amount of
articles in Portuguese," Ruy says. He's being modest; that "reasonable
amount" is more than 125 computer science and technology related articles
on the Portuguese Wikipedia contributed through his coursework.
He then assigns his current students to read the Wikipedia articles his
students from previous terms have contributed as a supplement to their
normal reading.
"The articles were an updated source into the specific areas, with good
pointers to the bibliography," Ruy says.
Ruy says that Wikipedia cannot and should not replace a traditional reading
assignment, but it's a way of keeping students informed with more
up-to-date material and accessible explanations of complex topics. He
assigned Wikipedia assignments as reading in two courses he taught in the
2005-06 academic year at Stanford University in the United States as well,
because they were the perfect supplement to the traditional textbook
reading.
The feedback Ruy has received from students and professors has all been
positive, and he looks forward to the continuing development of the
Portuguese Wikipedia, so that it can be as good of a resource as the
English Wikipedia is.

You might be interested in this new School of
Open<https://p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-open/>Course: Writing
Wikipedia Articles: The Basics and

*14 March 2013*
We have an exciting announcement: next week we launch a free online course
focused on OER coverage on Wikipedia, and you're invited to enroll.
*Writing Wikipedia Articles: The Basics and
Beyond<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001daWyI8uQHM_D_8VSSXzqEaSVrz2VYF9CRZzDa3uPjvAf…>
*
This will be one of several facilitated, synchronous courses marking the
launch of the School of Open, a new venture of Peer to Peer University.
Instructor Pete Forsyth, a veteran Wikipedia contributor and trainer, will
lead live webinars every Tuesday. We will also feature experts in Wikipedia
editing and in open educational resources in two roundtable sessions.
Students will work on Wikipedia articles throughout the course, and share
their experiences contributing to the largest collaborative project in
human history.
The course will run from 19 March to 23 April, at 15:30 GMT. The timing
should work well for the Americas (morning) and Europe and Africa
(afternoon). We plan to offer the course a second time, starting in late
April or early May, at a time that works better for Australia and Asia.
Want to learn a bit about Wikipedia? Or would you like to find a way to
make its articles relating to OER more accurate and informative? Join the
course today! We look forward to working with you.
