Interview to help improve Wikipedia's deletion process?
by Jodi Schneider 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hi fellow Wikimedia IE members, My name is Jodi Schneider, I'm a researcher at the National University of Ireland, Galway. I'm studying Wikipedia's deletion discussions and am looking for Wikipedians to interview about the deletion process. I envision a 30 minute skype or phone conversation. I'm interested in learning about your experiences with Wikipedia, and especially article deletion. You can read more about my project at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikipedia_Coordinatio… I hope to talk with people with a wide variety of experience editing Wikipedia. My work aims to support decision-making and identify opportunities for helping new community members. Your opinions and experience would be very valuable to me in this work. Would you be willing to talk with me? Let me know the best times for you; you can reach me at jschneider(a)pobox.com or with the info below. Best, Jodi WP:Jodi.a.schneider http://jodischneider.com/jodi.html

digital humanities workshop in Dublin this October
by Jodi Schneider 19 May '12

19 May '12

Of possible interest. I'm one of the organisers (so please pardon the intrusion if unwelcome)! -Jodi === Date: Tuesday 23 October - Thursday 25 October 2012 Venue: Dublin and Maynooth, Ireland Realising the Opportunities of Digital Humanities A workshop jointly organised by: Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) Digital Humanities Observatory (DHO) Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH-EU) The focus of this event is to engage academia, industry, cultural institutions and public bodies to identify the key research challenges in digital humanities, and to further build the academic-industry partnerships that will enable adoption of digital humanities skills, technologies and tools. This focus will extend to the innovative use of digital humanities technologies in the public sector demonstrating social benefit, such as the digitisation of the Irish census and the use of open linked public data. This is the first in a series of workshops targeting the industry-academic interface for identifying and realising the opportunities of the digital humanities. The event is jointly organised by the two major digital humanities national infrastructures (the DRI and the DHO), and the largest semantic web research Institute (DERI), together with a large-scale European digital infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH). During the three days, participants will expand their skills through a series of digital labs, lectures and masterclasses lead by subject matter experts, in the areas of data visualisation and in the application of linked data to leverage the semantic web for scholarly humanities research. This workshop will combine a day of hands-on practical application with master classes and lectures and a day long symposium drawing together academic and industry practitioners. Themes will include: • Data Visualisation and Data Analytics for Digital Humanities Scholarship • Leveraging Linked Data and the Semantic Web for Scholarly Research • IP and Licensing .... 'What You Can and Can't Do With Data' • Infrastructure and Data Modelling This event will take place in Dublin and Maynooth from Tuesday 23 October - Thursday 25 October 2012. Registration and programme details to be announced http://www.dri.ie/events/ For more information please email dri(a)ria.ie or phone +353 1 609 0674

Does the wikimediaie list have a moderator?
by David Gerard 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaie The only mod address is wikimediaie(a)lists.wikimedia.org ... The question came up because there was a message from Stevie Benton (media guy at Wikimedia UK) about a press call from Ireland, stuck in the mod queue. It occurs to me there might be all manner of things in the mod queue ... and having a moderator is probably good. (I'll happily be a mod of last resort, but someone actually in .ie would be better.) - d.

From Wikimedia UK - media opportunity
by Stevie Benton 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Hello Wikimedia Ireland, I hope you're all well. I write from Wikimedia UK to offer a media opportunity. I received the below email this week from Today FM, a Dublin-based radio station, and their Ray D'Arcy show: "Hi there, I hope this finds you well. I'm getting in touch from Today FM in Dublin with an interesting question from a listener! It is as follows: "Hi Ray and Gang!! Can you fix something for me on fix it friday.....how does wikipedia update its information so fast?! i was watching the aintree grand national and daryl jacob won the race. I wanted to see how old he was so I typed his name into google and got the Wikipedia link and when I opened it they had on his page that he was the winner of the 2012 aintree grand national! literally 2 minutes after he won the race! HOW DO THEY DO IT!" We're hoping to have an answer for Friday's show (9am to 12)" I've been in touch with the station to suggest that we could get an Irish Wikimedian on the show to talk a little about what Wikipedia is, how it works ad how people can get involved. This is something that I think could be fun for whoever takes part and a good chance to highlight the work of the movement in Ireland and its volunteers. They're looking for someone to be on the show between about 10am and 10.30 tomorrow. Sorry for the short notice but they only just got back to me. If you're keen to be involved, drop me a line and we'll work out the details. Here's a link to the show's web page for those interested. http://www.todayfm.com/Shows/Weekdays/Ray-DArcy-Show/Overview.aspx Many thanks, Stevie -- Stevie Benton Communications Organiser Wikimedia UK +44 (0) 20 7065 0993

20 Apr '12

Stevie Benton from Wikimedia UK <stevie.benton(a)wikimedia.org.uk> got a call from Today FM (Ireland) looking for someone this afternoon if possible. I can do it, but it'd be much better if someone in Ireland did. Could someone please get Stevie's email out of the mod queue? Thanks :-) - d.

Looking for photographers from Ireland
by Russavia 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Hi all Russavia from English Wikipedia and Commons here I am currently looking for some photographers in several countries who might be able to assist me with taking photos from Ireland which I am requiring for some articles I am working on. Details of what I require can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Russavia/Required_photos#.C2.A0Ireland If anyone is able to help me, or if anyone knows of photographers who can help, feel free to contact me on this email (and to pass my email on), or i can be contacted at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Russavia In the event someone is able to help, and the photo subjects are obscured, I may be able to organise with the local diplomatic mission for inside access to take photos and the like, so this is an option if anyone is willing. Any help appreciated. Cheers Scotty (Russavia)

Dublin - European City of Science 2012
by Conor Wao 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hi all, sorry about lack of contact over last while but I started a new job and was quite busy. The new job is, however, as a Project Coordinator for Dublin City of Science 2012. Dublin will host the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) in July 2012 and is currently seeking calls for proposals for talks to be held at the 5-day conference. http://www.dublinscience2012.ie/calls Deadline for proposals is June 30th 2011. We will also be hosting a lot of outreach events over the next year and I definitely think Wikimedia should get involved in some way - either by presenting a talk or hosting in some outreach events. Do we have anyone confident enough to speak about Wikimedia's activities and goals on board? Maybe a how-to-edit master-class? Ideas are welcome. Anyone from England (and worldwide) is welcome too. I hope Wikimedia can collaborate in some way, Looking forward to hearing from you, Conor. p.s. my name is Conor Dowdall ... Conor Wao is just an online profile!

On behalf of Amical Viquipedia (Please help to spread the word) ENGLISH, CATALAN, SPANISH VERSION Forum Building Digital Commons and Collaborative Communities 29th - 30th October 2011, Barcelona, Catalonia & Online http://www.digital-commons.net Building Digital Commons and Collaborative Communities is a new initiative aiming to bring together individuals, collective and organizations from different Free and Open Collaborative Communities, Digital Commons Initiatives and Researchers in the area to identify ways to support and learn from each other and collaborate in order to promote together digital commons. Why? The new technologies offered a big opportunity to create, innovate and collaborate to share and build information and knowledge resources. However, we are living challenging times, with an ongoing growth of the enclosure of the commons. i) We want to promote the “makers” and “ doers” approach: To increase the visibility of the initiatives that are based on building digital commons. ii) Systematize experiences & learn from each other (at the legal, infrastructural, sustainable, participation and governance levels). ii) Map the digital public spaces and promote common actions iv) Create public procommons references: To underline the distinction between the governance of digital commons and other forms of corporate-providers not based on free and open infrastructure. v) Build bridges between action and research on commons as a form of governance, production and horizon for social transformation. What? We will address collaboratively and critically a series of working lines: 1. Participation and engagement in communities 2. Sustainability formulas and dialogue between social digital economy and cooperativism 3. Mapping a variety of digital commons initiatives and to define a common strategy A "How to manual on digital commons: participation engagement, sustainability formulas and over all digital commons networking" and a "Digital commons alliance/network" will be the resulting outcomes of the event.
