Thanks Everton, I will be sure to join the Webinar.
"How can diplomats contribute to improve Wikipedia articles to increase
their public diplomacy value?"
I am doing a Wikipedia project that is highly related to this issue that
attempts to standardize economic data on Wikipedia for every country and
city in the world. It's essentially the periodic table for economics. I
guarantee this will be a valuable resource in the future. Please check it
out:
Here are draft articles I am working on for the top ten economies:
Countries ranked by 2011 GDP
1. United States:
2. China:
3. Japan:
4. Germany:
5. France:
6. Brazil:
7. United Kingdom
8. Italy
9. India
10. Russia
I will be representing myself as a Wikimedia
volunteer, who happens to hold
a title related to AffCom and has a somewhat theoretical education of what
diplomacy is supposed to be.
I hope I am not totally unqualified to speak about the Wikipedia topics.
The webinar will be broadcast using Google Hangouts probably on the Diplo
Foundation's channel (
http://www.youtube.com/user/DiploFoundation), but if
you register, you will get the link to the broadcast.
Best regards,
Bence

Is it just me who was surprised to see that Bence will be representing
the
Affiliations Committee during that webinar? I
know for a fact that AffCom
involves a lot of behind–the–scenes talks et al., but I don't think it's
directly related to diplomacy issues?
