Oberkategorien bei Fußballern
by Henning Ihmels 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Moin, ich hätte da mal eine Frage: Seit gestern ist eine IP in de Wikipedia unterwegs, die bei sämtlichen Fußballern die Oberkategorien (z.B. Deutscher, Engländer etc) entfernt. Diese IP hat bereits eine zimlich lange Diskussionsseite wegen dieser Geschichte. Meine Frage: Sollen die Oberkats jetzt in die Artikel oder nicht? In der WP wird die ganze Zeit darüber gestritten, die IP wurde jedenfalls einmal gesperrt, aber 2 Minuten später wieder entsperrt. Also die sagen da alle was anderes.

Lust und Last beim Lesen von Lexika, Latürnich ohne Lobhudelei
by Mathias Schindler 03 Mar '07

Moin, in der aktuellen Ausgabe der Männerzeitschrift c't findet sich ein mehrseitiger Testlauf von Brockhaus multimedial (premium 2007), Bertelsmann Enzyklopädie 2007 (im Vertrieb von USM), Microsoft Encarta 2007 und der Online-Ausgabe der Wikipedia, laut Brockhaus ist letztere inzwischen wenigstens in der indirekten Rede zur Enzyklopädie geadelt worden [1]... http://www.heise.de/ct/inhalt.shtml Enzyklopädien: Wikipedia gegen die Etablierten, S. 136 "Enzyklopädien Die deutsche Wikipedia weiß auf fast jede Frage eine Antwort. Aber kann man sich auf die auch immer verlassen? Wir haben im Brockhaus, bei Bertelsmann, in der Encarta und in der freien Internet-Enzyklopädie quer durch alle Wissensgebiete nachgeschlagen, um auch auf diese Frage eine Antwort zu finden. " Leider ist im Testlauf nicht die Brockhaus Enzyklopädie dabei. In einigen Regionen Deutschlands gibt es die c't schon am (Bahnhofs-)Kiosk, ansonsten bei den Abo-Leuten ab 15 Uhr (oder wann auch immer neuerdings die Post kommt) im Briefkasten.

01 Mar '07

Please circulate this call among Wikimedia communities, researchers and other people that may be interested! This call is also online at http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation == Wikimania 2007: Call for Participation == === About Wikimania === Wikimania is an annual global event devoted to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia Foundation projects. It is a community event, which is also open to the public and to scientists. Wikimania is a place for editors and users of the Wikimedia projects around the globe (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary, and Wikiversity) to gather, to meet each other, to exchange ideas, and to report on research and projects. This year's conference will be held from August 3-5, 2007 in Taipei, Taiwan at Chien Tan Overseas Youth Activity Center <http://www.cyh.org.tw/center/center_bu.php?loginno=&buid=B>. We are accepting submissions for posters, presentations, workshops, and discussion groups. We are also accepting nominations for speakers and speaker panels, and suggestions for other activities. Please note the details below and be bold in your submissions! === Important dates === * 1 March – 30 April: Submission * 1 May – 31 May: Feedback and notification of acceptance * 3 – 5 Aug 2007 : Wikimania === Conference Themes === Submissions should address one or more of the following themes: * Wikimedia Communities – Interesting projects and particularities within the communities (we explicitly invite you to present your local Wikimedia project's community!); policy creation within individual projects; conflict resolution and community dynamics; reputation and identity; multilingualism, languages and cultures; social studies. * Free Content – Open access to information; ways to gather and distribute free knowledge, usage of the Wikimedia projects in education, journalism, research; ways to improve content quality and usability; copyright laws and other legal areas that interfere with Wikimedia projects. * Technical infrastructure – Issues related to Mediawiki development and extensions; Wikimedia hardware layout; new ideas for development (including usable case studies from other wikis or similar projects). Your topic must be related to Wikimedia projects and its communities or to the creation of free content in general. If your topic does not cover free content creation and communities but wikis or communities in other applications then the WikiSym 2007 conference <http://www.wikisym.org/ws2007/> (October 21-23, 2007, Montreal) or a Recent Changes camp might better suit. === Types of Submissions === We are seeking submissions for * presentations (10–30 minute talks with optional short or full papers) * posters (printed presentations or visual displays that can stand on their own) * workshops (30–120 minute session with more involvement of the audience) * panels (group of 2-5 speakers to discuss on a specific subject) * Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) (45-60 minutes informal meetup of group discussion on a particular topic) * artistic artifacts (plays, competitions, comedy, visualizations, or other representations of some aspect of the projects) Furthermore you may leave ideas, comment, and suggestions at the public wiki page <http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program_Ideas>. === Guidelines === Wikimania is organized by volunteers, so please help us to minimize wasted effort by following these guidelines carefully before submitting and be sure not to forget anything that is mentioned here. All submissions must explicitly include the following: * an English title * a short English abstract of 50 to 100 words. The abstracts should be provided as plain text, and not as file attachments. This abstract will be used as public description of your submission in the conference program * a detailed description (or full paper) of at least one page (300 words or more). This description will not be published unless you want it, but used for reviewing your submission. Give an overview of the areas to be covered or taught. State clearly the relevance to the Wikimedia projects and whether submission concerns a specific wiki project. You may use any language, but we strongly suggest English or Chinese. Full descriptions may include a link to a full paper or slides in HTML or PDF, if available. * full name, email address, and a short bio of 1–3 sentences for each author. You may also add wiki usernames and nicknames. * the type of submission (presentation, poster, workshop, panel, BoF, artistic) * the language(s) you are going to talk in (or the language of your poster) Please tell us with your submission whether you will attend to Wikimania (a) surely, (b) probably, (c) only if your submission is accepted, or (d) only if you manage to get further funding. It may also help to add yourself to the public list of attendees at <http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Attendees>. Additionally you must specify: * the target audience you are going to reach and what previous knowledge is needed * special requirements (such as equipment for a workshop or panel) if needed * images or sketches of the poster or artistic artifact if available * for panel submissions short biographies of each suggested panelist * whether the presentation is intended to be a specific length. * BoF proposals should describe the significance of and community interest in the topic, and name the proposed discussion leader(s).
