our users are probably elementary school children. One
reason to go a lot
easier than we do with the sophisticated technical language some of us lard
our articles with.
Older and educated users may use data in our articles, but I think they will
mostly consult books if they have a serious interest in a subject. They will
certainly immediately see through the efforts of our POV warriors.

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Re: management
I hope I do not disturb this list too much in proposing another topic of
discussion than artificial languages and ads... but right... we know
little of our end users.
We know OURSELVES.
We do not know WHO read the encyclopedia.
WHO ?
Anthere a écrit:
I have a journalist... looking for a wikipedian
(or not) who might
report on his use of wikipedia in his working environment.
But he wants someone working in private firm rather, not a student, not
a teacher, not a researcher...
He would need an interview as soon as possible, in english is possible.
This interview is meant for a french paper (monthly publication I think)
on management (so read by a lot of managers of private business firms).
The interview would probably require citing the person name (real name)
and likely a picture as well.
Right now, we could not succeed to find such a person.
If you are in such a situation, please contact him at serge.courrier
(AT)
pobox.com.
Thanks a lot for your help for a desesperate journalist who will not
close his article as long as he has not found such a person
Anthere
