Stop this months long and uncertain roller coster ride immediately. I hate
it. My aim is to reach the destination in front of me straight way. If I
have nothing then I know I can walk in direction but choosing roler coster
and ultra zig zag mean of reaching thier is not a good choice. I know a
person is waiting for my help than I have to be there straight and bold
way. I belive give what can be given at the given. If I have plain wheat
floor to offer you seeing you're hungry and falling sick then I will give
raw flour to you for eating. If you like only Pizza for eating then it's
your choice to make my given floor the dough and proceed further for making
it a delicious pizza. You may give 5-10 time if you want I will come back
with experiences of roller coster rides and pizza making. Choice is yours.
Thank you. If alloted only for syllabus writing wiki that too will be
helpful to me. I had entered there after knowing there is no Block Block
game for teachers willing to write for students but you cheaters blocked me
there too. What wrong I had written? No notice ! No true statement for
using ! No discussion on any issue if you feel like deleting or blocking!
See I am emotionally too attached to Wikipedia and my study / teaching life
that is why I am still here begging for your mercy. But remember I am
practicing to leave Wikipedia along. Once I left I will never be found
here. Just a matter of time and pain. Stop your roller coster ride. I never
had nor I enjoy it if you offer. That it.

This month's presentations:
Variation and overlap in the peer production of community rules: the case
of five WikipediasBy *Sohyeon Hwang, Northwestern University*
In this talk, I present work analyzing the rules and rule-making on
Wikipedia. The governance of many online communities relies on rules
created by participants. However, work predominantly focuses on efforts
within a single community or on a platform as a whole. Here we investigate
the comparative and relational dimensions of online self-governance in a
set of similar communities by looking at the five largest language editions
of Wikipedia. Using exhaustive trace data spanning almost 20 years since
their founding, we examine patterns in rule-making and overlaps in rule
sets. Our findings show that language editions have similar trajectories of
rule-making activity, replicating and extending a rich body of work that
have focused on English-language Wikipedia alone. We also find that the
language editions have increasingly unique rule sets, even as editing
activity concentrates on rules shared between them. The results suggest
that self-governing communities aligned in key ways may share a common core
of rules and rule-making practices even as they develop and sustain
institutional variations.
Wikipedia Community Policies and Experiential Epistemology: Critical
Information Literacy, Social Justice, and Inclusive PracticesBy *Zachary
J. McDowell, University of Illinois at Chicago*Drawing from a
meta-analysis of research on learning outcomes in Wikipedia-based
education, this presentation addresses Wikipedia community policies and
practices through the Framework for Information Literacy in Higher
Education from the Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL).
Wikipedia-based educational practices, which promote newcomers’ active
engagement in the encyclopedia, have been shown to support experiential
learnings in critical information literacy, communication and research
outcomes, and social justice. Exploring the connections between
participation in Wikipedia and transferable skills for information literacy
in the context of the current new media landscape, this presentation
grapples with new questions for the future of information literacies
alongside the implications of large language models (LLMs), systemic
biases, and the representation and inclusion of non-western and indigenous
knowledge sources.
