Hello everybody,
media coverage of "Wikipedia for World Heritage!" increases and so do
questions from the press. Many of them are likely to reappear time after
time and internationally. Since Itzik and Ted asked for something like this,
here is a preliminary draft of FAQs about Wikipedia for World Heritage that
we adapted after the first media reactions came in last week. Maybe it is
useful to share some basic external communication outline.
Please, feel free to improve and extend this draft! Let's work on this
together.
Best
Michael
*Why do you want Wikipedia to be recognized as a World Cultural Heritage
site? The UNESCO Memory of the World seems more appropriate.*
We are convinced that Wikipedia fits all three UNESCO categories: World
Cultural Heritage, Intangible Cultural Heritage and Memory of the World.
However, we want to start the application for World Cultural Heritage
precisely because of the underlying World Heritage Convention. The
Convention dates back to 1972. It refers to "sites" as candidates for World
Heritage in a completely non-digital context. Enhanced meanings of the
concept, like the possibility of a "website", could not have been thought of
back then. Those evolved later. Today digital sites have a profound impact
on all areas of interest. Culture is one of them. Wikipedia allows for a
global collaborative interchange of knowledge. It is unprecedented and truly
a "masterpiece of human creative genius". These latter words are quoted from
the first UNESCO criterion for World Heritage recognition. It fits Wikipedia
today and had the free encyclopedia been what it is today in 1972, the World
Heritage Convention would likely have been composed differently.
*It is very unlikely that you will reach your goal. What if you fail?*
When Wikipedia came to life ten years ago, most people deemed it impossible
to create a valuable encyclopedia that could be edited by anyone. The
concepts of free knowledge and collaborative amateur work seemed
implausible. The critics have been proven wrong. We believe that it is also
possible to have the largest collection of human knowledge recognized as a
World Heritage. The formal application process takes years. If we fail, it
will be after years of careful consideration and valuable discussions about
the meaning that free knowledge has in modern society.
*
*
*World Heritage sites are meant to be preserved. What is it about Wikipedia
that you think should be protected?*
Wikipedia is the largest evolving collection of human knowledge. Its
defining quality is openness, the greatest good of free knowledge. We must
secure free access to Wikipedia in the future.
*But Wikipedia's content is edited all the time! How could you preserve it?
*
This is not about preserving the content of Wikipedia in a specific state.
What needs to be preserved is access to free knowledge. Every single article
can be edited or deleted. This has been the core of the free encyclopedia
from the very start. It has enabled a level of participation beyond anything
the sharing of knowledge has ever known. We need to preserve Wikipedia's
open character and the unique possibility it gives humanity to constantly
improve and share in the sum of its knowledge.
*Aren't you doing this for publicity reasons only?*
We are serious about the initiative. We want Wikipedia to be recognized as
World Heritage. Publicity means public awareness of Wikipedia and free
knowledge. Even today many people do not know how to contribute to the free
encyclopedia or its sister projects. Increased public awareness means more
information. The more people discuss the projects and get interest in
details, the better. Wikimedia Chapters all over the world support the
global community with numerous activities and projects. We want to create
awareness and acceptance for what Wikipedia really is. It is more than just
a convenient way to access tons of information for free. Wikipedia is at the
front of the free knowledge movement. We want to take the chance and educate
people regarding the concept behind Wikipedia.
*
*
*Only ten years have passed since Wikipedia was founded. Is it not too soon
to apply for World Heritage recognition?*
The fact that Wikipedia as a project is this young* *makes its
accomplishments all the more fascinating. Wikipedia is here to stay. In only
ten years Wikipedia has reshaped access to knowledge for millions and
millions of people all over the world. It is a pioneer of the digital
age.The ten year anniversary is a good opportunity to take a step back
and look
at what hundreds of thousands of volunteers have achieved so far. * *A
perfect opportunity to take a look ahead, as well. What can we do to realize
our vision of enabling each and everybody to share in the sum of all
knowledge!? One answer is: Make people aware of the cultural impact
Wikipedia has.
* *
*Why apply to this particular institution, the UNESCO?*
The UNESCO World Heritage agreement is the most successful agreement on the
protection of culture and nature that the international community has ever
reached. 187 countries have signed it.
* *
*Who is in charge of the project?*
The international community. The idea was developed in Germany, but this is
an international project. All Wikimedia Chapters are invited to participate.
Many of them have already joined the initiative.
*Which UNESCO World Heritage criteria does Wikipedia meet? *
Some, e.g. "the site represents a masterpiece of human creative genius".
Meeting one is already sufficient in theory. However, our main objective is
rather to emphasize Wikipedia’s overall cultural relevance.
*A petition has been started to support the initiative. That’s not the
formal way. Does Wikipedia also apply formally for World Heritage status? *
Yes! However, the formal process requires years of application via national
states. Right now a petition signed by people from all over the world
wonderfully represents the idea behind Wikipedia.

PRESS RELEASE
Berlin, 26 May 2011
*
**Wikipedia for World Heritage! *
*
*
*Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales calls for signatures to be collected and
presented to the UNESCO.*
On Monday, 23 May 2011, Wikimedia Deutschland started a worldwide collection
of signatures for the Wikipedia for World
Heritage!<http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>initiative. People
are invited to join the list now by signing an online
form <http://wikipedia.de/wke/Main_Page?setlang=en>. The list will
ultimately be presented to the World Heritage
Committee<http://whc.unesco.org/en/comittee>at the beginning of 2012.
To date more than 7000 people from over 100
countries have already signed the petition. Each signature supports the
initiative’s claim that Wikipedia as the largest collection of human
knowledge should be recognized as the first ever global and digital World
Heritage site. Altogether there are ten UNESCO criteria for recognition as a
World Heritage site. The first of those criteria demands that World Heritage
sites “represent a masterpiece of human creative genius”. The online
petition is quoting these exact words. By signing it participants confirm
that Wikipedia has universal value and that the claim is true in its case.
This petition is the starting point for a global discussion of Wikipedia’s
cultural meaning. Currently the free encyclopedia provides free access to
more than 18 million articles in over 280 languages. Since the beginning of
the new millennium Wikipedia has evolved into the collective memory of the
world. Having Wikipedia recognized as a Unesco World Heritage site is a huge
step towards preserving its cumulative knowledge for future generations.
“Millions of people take Wikipedia for granted. They use it each and every
day. Still, free access to the sum of human knowledge is not a matter of
course in many places. It is a global challenge to recognize, support and
preserve the work that hundreds of thousands of volunteers invest in this
community project. The key to free exchange of knowledge is public
recognition”, says Pavel Richter, CEO of Wikimedia Deutschland.
The initiative was introduced in March 2011 at the international Wikimedia
Chapters Conference in Berlin. Chapters from all over the world will
accompany the initiative's activities regarding Wikipedia’s recognition as a
World Heritage site. Wikimedia Deutschland will entertain an expert round on
the subject on 31 March 2011 at the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin. The
event will be a public kick-off. Further activities with the international
community will follow. Additionally, public discussion provides a chance to
explain how to deal with free knowledge and to stress its meaning for
society. The advertising agency Leo Burnett supports Wikimedia Deutschland
in the initiative’s realization.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales was the first to sign the petition. In a video
statement <http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> he calls for support of
the initiative. In his appeal Jimmy Wales puts emphasis on how important
international awareness is to the free encyclopedia: “A lot of people think

Good news from Argentina. :)
---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: [Internal-l] brief update wikipedia10
To: "Local Chapters, board and officers coordination (closed subscription)"
<internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear friends:
This last week we had exciting events in Argentina regarding outreach
with the educational system and the celebrations of Wikipedia 10.
# On May 17th we signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education of
Buenos Aires province. They want us to help them to develop some
skills with teachers and librarians regarding the new digital
enviroment. This is probably the largest educational system of Latin
America [[citation needed]] and we are very happy to have a voice
there. More info (in spanish) in our site:
http://www.wikimedia.org.ar/node/30
# Yesterday we celebrated the first 10 years of the spanish Wikipedia
with a large conference: http://www.wikimedia.org.ar/node/28
## We launched a wikicontest about Iberoamerican women: the idea was
to write about remarcable women of Argentina, but the community of
Wikipedia asked us to extend the challenge to Iberoamerican women. As
you know, the gender gap is not only about editors but also about
content; this wikicontest pretends to help to fill this gap.
## Educ.ar, the official site of the Argentinian Ministry of
Education, launched their site "Wikipedia in the classroom":
http://wikipediaenelaula.edu.ar, with resources for teachers.
## Mariano Blejman, from Página/12 (the third national newspaper) and
Ariel Torres from La Nación (the second national newspaper -sorry, but
the first one doesn't like us :P) made a great presentation about
Wikipedia and journalism.
## To end the journey, we had a conference about Wikipedia and
education, with several academics as you can see in
http://www.wikimedia.org.ar/node/28.
And then, we went for a wine and a barbecue!
As you can imagine, we are exhausted but happy. We will update you as
soon as we upload the photos and videos.
Patricio
