Today, we concluded the Brede Værk project* that has run for the last three
weeks on the Danish-language Wikipedia. Students from Ørestad Gymnasium**
and Det frie Gymnasium*** have been writing articles about the
industrialisation in Denmark, based on materials from Brede Værk****, which
is part of the National Museum*****. The project first appeared on our
radar in July 2010, so things do not always move as fast as we would love
them to.
The students were assigned sandboxes to allow them to create their own
articles with minimal interference. Three of the articles have now been
"promoted" to the main namespace, while two others need to be merged into
pre-existing articles, one needs a general improvement, and one needs to be
merged with an article that a group of students created when they tried to
avoid damaging another group's work.
The three-week process has been frustrating (generally in a good way), but
apparently the fear of changing someone else's text is something we need to
work on.
We plan to have more collaboration with the gymnasiums and the museum in
the autumn.
