In January, a team of 20 students participated in an edit-a-thon to support
the Bidar Wikipedia project. A workshop is planned for “phase two” on April
12, where students and staff can be trained in Wikipedia.
Bidar Wikipedia wants everyone to be involved with their Wikipedia
articles. “We will put up boards containing excerpts from Wikipedia article
and Quick Response Codes in front of tourist places and monuments.”
Thanks,

•The new content translation tool has resulted in great progress on
Wikipedia. The Catalan Wikimedia chapter has been using the tool to
translate Wikipedia articles from Spanish to Catalan. Luckily a large
majority of Catalan speakers are bilingual. Translation from Spanish to
Catalan has been a popular decision amongst the editors.

Hello Everyone,
Michael and I created some social last week for a Harvard article. URL:

Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.

Wikipedia - @Harvard approved.
Top hits on @Google, @Harvard is on board, what’s next?
“Rather than complaining about it, why don’t we try to do good things with
it.” -- Sean J. Gilsdorf
Its a big world out there. Never stop with only one source.
“The guilty secret of most academics is that they’re using Wikipedia, when
they’re telling their students not to.” -- Sean J. Gilsdorf
Faculty members @Harvard pointed out several advantages of Wikipedia’s
online format.
“Various Wikis often have more information than academically-sanctioned
databases.” -- Sean J. Gilsdorf
“I think the collective encyclopedia is one of the truly thrilling
innovations of our time.” -- W. James Simpson
FB | G+ structure:
Account: wikipedia
Professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences @Harvard said they see
Wikipedia as more acceptable, even as a website that students can peruse
for somewhat reliable information.
Harvard faculty believes distrust for Wikipedia has been replaced by a
realization that the site can be “a good source for certain areas,”
including basic scientific data and formulae.
Thanks,
