Hello everyone,
My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra).
While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions.
Few months later, I propose creating the *Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory* in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage.
I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions.
Here is the link of the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_Cultural_Diversity_...)
If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it. In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Of course, you are invited to become participants, as there will be the need for users in the testing part.
Thanks in advance for your time! Best regards,
Marc Miquel Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona ᐧ
Thanks for sharing this, Marc. I've endorsed the project overall (as a volunteer, not staff), but also described some concerns/considerations with some aspects of the proposal on the talk page.
Cheers, Jonathan
