Re: [Wiki-research-l] New paper - Indigenous knowledge on Wikipedia

[Kerry Raymond]

Maybe not "signed" in the sense of a signature of a Talk page, but each 
contribution is attributed automatically to its user as seen in the history. As 
someone who edits under my real name, I absolutely put my name to my 
contributions.

Or the other possible interpretation of "signed" here may be referring to the 
citations which are usually sources with one or small number of individual 
authors, as opposed to a community of shared knowledge custodians which is the 
case with Aboriginal Australians.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] New paper - Indigenous knowledge on Wikipedia

[Todd Allen]

I found one error:

"Even the idea that contributions to the wiki should be signed by
individuals is at odds with many traditional societies where knowledge
expression is mainly collective, not individualised..."

That's already how it works. Only discussion posts and the like are signed.
I don't know of any language Wikipedia in which contributions to the actual
encyclopedia articles are signed, and I know several of the largest
(German, Spanish, and English) do not have such a practice. (If there is a
project where individual contributions are signed, please let me know, I'd
be interested to see how they make that work. What if it gets edited?)

Aside from that, the article seems to state that such a project is
incompatible with both NPOV and copyleft, so I'm not sure that Wikimedia
hosting it would be the best fit as those are fundamental requirements.
(That's not to say it's not worth doing at all, of course.)

[Wiki-research-l] New paper - Indigenous knowledge on Wikipedia

[Nathalie Casemajor]

Hello,

For those of you who are interested in "small" Wikipedias and Indigenous
languages, here's a new academic paper co-signed by yours truly.

Published in an open access journal :)

*Openness, Inclusion and Self-Affirmation: Indigenous knowledge in Open
Knowledge Projects
*

This paper is based on an action research project (Greenwood and Levin,
1998) conducted in 2016-2017 in partnership with the Atikamekw Nehirowisiw
Nation and Wikimedia Canada. Built into the educational curriculum of a
secondary school on the Manawan reserve, the project led to the launch of a
Wikipedia encyclopaedia in the Atikamekw Nehirowisiw language. We discuss
the results of the project by examining the challenges and opportunities
raised in the collaborative process of creating Wikimedia content in the
Atikamekw Nehirowisiw language. What are the conditions of inclusion of
Indigenous and traditional knowledge in open projects? What are the
cultural and political dimensions of empowerment in this relationship
between openness and inclusion? How do the processes of inclusion and
negotiation of openness affect Indigenous skills and worlding processes?
Drawing from media studies, indigenous studies and science and technology
studies, we adopt an ecological perspective (Star, 2010) to analyse the
complex relationships and interactions between knowledge practices,
ecosystems and infrastructures. The material presented in this paper is the
result of the group of participants’ collective reflection digested by one
Atikamekw Nehirowisiw and two settlers. Each co-writer then brings his/her
own expertise and speaks from what he or she knows and has been trained for.

[Wiki-research-l] Need your opinion on Wikipedia’s gender gap

[Bowen Yu]

Hello,

I’m with a group of researchers  working on using
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to promote gender diversity in Wikipedia
contents and thus to close the gender gap
. We want to build
a recommender system that targets the gender gap in content, while creating
personalized article recommendations for editors. To ensure that our tool
addresses real community issues, we plan to design the recommender
algorithms by incorporating the feedback from stakeholders in the
community, such as members of the WikiProject Women in Red, related
WikiProjects, and others who are concerned with this issue. We want to
understand your concerns and values as we come up with effective
algorithmic designs.

For more details about our project, please refer to our Wikimedia project
meta page

.

If you are interested or have any thoughts and suggestions, please feel
free to reach out to me at bowen...@umn.edu and we can plan a time to
connect. Thanks!
