Hey all,
I would highly recommend engaging in these talks if you can: the technical
implications of research on Wikipedia have a lot of potential for
activating more Education, Library and GLAM partners.
Cheers,

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] "Wikipedia as the front matter to all research": A
brown bag on scholarly citations in Wikipedia this Friday 12/4 @ 12 PT
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, Research into Wikimedia content and
communities <wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Come and join us for a brown bag this Friday December 4 at 12 PT to learn
about unique identifiers and scholarly citations in Wikipedia, why they
matter and how we can bridge the gap between the Wikimedia, research and
librarian communities.

Measuring citizen engagement with the scholarly literature through
Wikipedia citations.
Geoffrey Bilder, CrossRef
Wikipedia (in toto) is probably the 5th largest referrer of citations to
the scholarly literature. That is, more Wikipedia users click on and follow
citations to the scholarly literature *from* Wikipedia domains than from
any single scholarly publisher in the world. What does this tell us about
general interest in the scholarly literature? What does this tell us about
scholarly engagement with editing Wikipedia articles? The short answer is
“we don’t know.” But we are actively working with Wikimedia to find out.
Building the sum of all human citations
Dario Taraborelli, WIkimedia Foundation
As sourcing and verifiability of online information are threatened <
http://www.slideshare.net/dartar/citing-as-a-public-service-building-the-su…>
by the explosion of answer engines and the changing habits of web users,
Wikimedia has an outstanding opportunity to extract and store source data
for every conceivable statement and make it transparently verifiable by its
users. In this talk, I’ll present a grassroots effort <
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData> to
create a human-curated, comprehensive repository of all human citations in
Wikidata.
