Hi everyone -
This is a project presented at Wikipedia Day 2010 at NYU in New York
last January..http://ideagra.ph
We presented this as a way to discuss a few of the most
complicated/controversial Wikimedia-related issues that haven't yet
garnered a consensus. It was specifically designed to fix the current
problems with Wikipedia's discuss pages (arguments get very long,
complex, and messy).
What makes a debate here different from one on a standard discuss page?
Statements have a color (green/red) which represents their current
state of consensus (something that's been refuted, for instance, is
red). You can also re-use facts concluded in other debates by other
people - thus allowing the work of debating/reasoning to be
distributed among (potentially) billions of people.
We've created a Wikipedia category for issues surrounding Wikipedia:

We need your feedback...

All,
The Philadelphia section of the New York chapter of Wikipedia is planning a
second iteration of Wiki Takes Philadelphia. It's a photo scavenger hunt and
contest where pictures are taken for the benefit of the Wikipedia project.
The event will be on Sunday, April 11, 2010, starting at Noon at the Drexel
University Quad (33rd and Market Streets).
