Hey NC Wikipedians! I hope you're all doing well and that you'll forgive my radio
silence. I've been contending with some health issues that have been worse than usual
of late. But we're long overdue for a meeting. Would Thursday, June 1, at 7pm work for
those who are inclined to attend? Please let me know, either on or off list.
I also wanted to let you all know about a workshop this Thursday that may be of interest.
I heard about Wiki Workshop <https://wikiworkshop.org/2023/> from a professor at
UNC's School of Information and Library Science, who studies Wikipedia. From her
email:
"Wiki Workshop is a forum for bringing together researchers exploring all aspects of
the Wikimedia projects. It's a place where we create bridges between the research
communities and many other communities that make the Wikimedia projects a reality:
volunteer editors, developers, academics, affiliate organizations and user-groups, policy
advocates, and beyond."
This is a workshop by and for people who do research about the Wikimedia projects --
rather than one by and for the editing communities. But I'm sure there is considerable
overlap!
Registration is free: (
https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wikiworkshop2023/)
Even if you don't attend, you can view some of the abstracts, which cover topics such
as:
the effects of page protection on Wikipedia
how editors construct knowledge on mental health
inclusion of Intersex and Trans-Non-Binary Gender Identities in the editor community
effects of the Russo-Ukrainian War on the editor activity of the Ukrainian, Russian, and
English Wikipedias
If anyone attends, I'd love to hear about it!
Emily
