Joe Reagle's "Good Faith Collaboration" is an excellent alternative.
Good day everyone
My name is Hrafn Malmquist, I am an Icelandic student of library and
information science at the University of Iceland, writing a master's thesis
on the Icelandic Wikipedia (http://is.wikipedia.org) which I have
personally actively contributed to for about six years
(http://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notandi:Jabbi). It has currently 34,478
articles and a very active user base of probably less than 30 users. My
approach is wholistic, recounting the general history of Wikipedia, the
Icelandic Wikipedia, the statistical development and possibly conduct
interviews with contributing users.
Any pointers on interesting research - especially with regard to small
language communities - would be well appriciated.
In searching for sources on the general history of Wikipedia, the best
overview I found is Andrew Lih's The Wikipedia Revolution
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Revolution). I find it to be
interesting but incomplete and rather sloppy when it comes to citing
sources. He should have finished it off with more care. Does anyone know of
a better alternative?
Best regards, Hrafn
