[Wikimedia Brasil] Sobre Wikileaks e outros temas (was Re: dez anos na página 3 da Folha)
by Cecilia Tanaka 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Bom, foi um comentário desnecessário e desagradável mesmo, concordo, mas esta polêmica entre Wales e Assange infelizmente está na mídia há meses, André. A intenção do autor, creio eu, não foi direcionar, provocar ou ofender, mas informar sobre uma polêmica recente envolvendo a Wikipédia. Também apóio o Wikileaks e a ampla divulgação de informações sem censura. A propósito, gostaria de divulgar esta petição on-line *"Pela liberdade de expressão e o direito à informação, contra a perseguição ao Wikileaks, ao blog Falha de São Paulo e ao Centro de Mídia Independente - CMI."* http://www.petitiononline.com/wlBrasil/petition.html Se quiserem copiar o que tuitei agora, com menções às @s defendidas, fiquem à vontade: *Pela liberdade de expressão e o direito à informação, contra a perseguição a @Wikileaks, @falhadsaopaulo e @CMIbrasil: http://zapt.in/diA* Haverá, por sinal, na próxima semana, mesas redondas, painéis e debates na Campus Party sobre projetos wiki, REA, hackativismo, o projeto da lei de acesso à informação pública, liberdade na internet, sobre o tema "Toda informação deve ser livre?" e diversos outros assuntos pertinentes ao que todos nós defendemos. ** Mesas e debates deverão ser gravados e disponibilizados posteriormente, mas não sei se vai rolar streaming. Vamos todos acompanhar e torcer pelo melhor, queridos! :-) Beijinhos!!!

[Wikimedia Brasil] The zeroeth law of Wikipedia
by Jaider Andrade Ferreira 09 Jan '11

09 Jan '11

Olá a todos, Desculpem abordar isto na lista da Wikimedia-br, mas alguém saberia me dizer quem é o autor desta frase: "*The problem with Wikipedia is that it only works in practice. In theory, it can never work.*" (The zeroeth law of Wikipedia) Que pode ser encontrada aqui<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Raul654/Raul's_laws#Laws_by_others> . Estou pensando em colocá-la como epígrafe no meu relatório, mas não gostaria de colocar o autor como 'anônimo'. Procurei em vários lugares mas não encontrei. Por isso pergunto aqui. Abraços, -- Atenciosamente, Jaider Andrade Ferreira UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências - Campus de Marília Departamento: Ciência da Informação Curso: Biblioteconomia Bolsista FAPESP

[Wikimedia Brasil] Fwd: Br-project + GLAM: Mutirão Intersecção

acho que a explicacao do projeto do Liam abaixo pode ser de interesse de outros nessa lista abs Carol ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Liam Wyatt <liamwyatt(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 5:38 PM Subject: Re: Br-project + GLAM: Mutirão Intersecção To: Jessie Wild <jwild(a)wikimedia.org> Cc: Carolina Rossini <carolrossiniatwiki(a)gmail.com>, Nevio < nevinhoalarcao(a)gmail.com> Hi Jessie, thank you for passing this along. Hello Nevio, Good to hear that there are some interesting local/regional history projects happening in Brasil. I'm not precisely sure how you intend to present the results of your work but you might be interested in a pilot project that has happened here in Australia as it might be applicable to you: It uses MediaWiki software combined with googleMaps to create a local history wiki map service for the South Australian town called "Mallala": http://mallala.nowandthen.net.au/index.php?title=Main_Page This is an example of a localwiki http://localwiki.org/ The Mallala project was innovative not only for the combination of the technologies but also because it combined the local knowledge of the older people in the town (in the retirement villages) with the local high school students who could teach them how to use the computers. The two groups met in the local library and used the library's computers. What they did was place a digital "pin" on the map (as you can see on the website homepage) and then they were presented with a form where they could fill out various pieces of information in a structured way about that place. For example, they could chose the form for "building" and then would be given a form with appropriate questions to describe the building in a structured way. This way the children learned about their local history, the old people could learn about the technology and also share their heritage. The big difference with this and Wikipedia was: 1) it is a relatively "closed" project that has relevance to the local people but not really to the wider world 2) it does not have the "notability" and "referencing" requirements that Wikipedia does. In Wikipedia most of their articles would not be accepted as their subjects are too insignificant for an encyclopedia even if they are important to the local people (e.g. where the local supermarket was in 1950). Perhaps that might be a methodology for publishing your work? If you are working with existing museums/cultural organisations and you want to integrate their content with Wikipedia specifically then there are several ways to do this and it very much depends on the requirements/problems/abilities of the individual institutions. If you have the resources, and the institution is willing, I would recommend placing a "Wikipedian in Residence" at the biggest institution(s) so they can be "inside" the museum as my friend is doing at the moment with a museum in America http://www.childrensmuseum.org/blog/index.php/archives/720 and I previously did with the British Musuem in London. I hope this helps! -Liam / Witty lama wittylama.com/blog Peace, love & metadata On 7 January 2011 00:39, Jessie Wild <jwild(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: > Liam - > > How are you?
