I think Alex' drafts weren't bad (except

number of Wikimedians and observers who are somewhat aware of the
problem that Wikipedia citation rules often prevent the inclusion of
indigenous knowledge , but I have to agree with Katherine that many
other people might be left out without context. Trying to make it a
bit clearer:
FB:G+: Wikipedia relies on citing written sources, but indigenous
knowledge is often only available in form of oral traditions. A new
Wikimedia grant funds a workshop that will explore how Wikipedia
articles could benefit from such "oral citations", to diversify and
increase the quality of Wikimedia content.
T: Wikipedia relies on written sources. A WMF-funded workshop explores
how oral indigenous knowledge could be used, too

Thanks Alex,
Quick question -- what's an "oral citation case study"? It might be
helpful
to try and use more 'plain language' to
ensure people understand what
you
want them to read.
Thanks
