Hi Fellow Wiki Journal Editors,
I am writing to you about the upcoming release of Wikipedia @ 20: Stories of an Incomplete Revolution https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/wikipedia-20. I edited this volume along with Joseph Reagle. The book contains reflective essays about Wikipedia’s first 20 years from a wide range of authors. MIT Press is delighted to offer this book under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
We would love you to help spread the word about the book within your networks – be these academic, media, or personal. You can do this in several ways:
Tweet now, around the book release on October 20th, and again in January around Wikipedia’s 20th anniversary
Talk to your department or organization about the possibility of a virtual event or lecture to mark the book’s publication
Tell any journalists you know about the book, and that they are welcome to a review copy If you have any questions about this or ideas, please let me know. We’re getting a solid head start but that will be vital for getting the word out about the book! Thank you!
I do hope I did not offend anyone with sharing this book via the WikiJournal list. I know many of you study Wikipedia alongside your academic work and wanted to share this with you all.
Best,
Jackie
