Re: [Wikimediauk-l] New Guardian article

There's a further post on the Guardian technology blog about this here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/aug/13/wikipedia-edits T From: wikimediauk-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikimediauk-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Cormac Lawler Sent: 12 August 2009 15:08 To: wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] New Guardian article On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 1:46 PM, Tom Holden &lt;thomas.holden(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/aug/12/wikipedia-deletionist-inclu sionist Interesting article - particularly in light of recent comments on this list! Ed Chi's comments are particularly interesting - that newcomers find it increasingly difficult to become established - and seems to be a reversal of what he concludes in [1]. (Other papers listed at [2].) I'll be interested to read the upcoming WikiSym paper, which I presume details this research in more detail. Don't really get JonAwbrey's comment underneath the (Guardian) article, but then again, I rarely get what he says. ;-) Cormac [1] http://www.viktoria.se/altchi/index.php?action=showsubmission <http://www.viktoria.se/altchi/index.php?action=showsubmission&id=41> &id=41 [2] http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~echi/papers.html
