Hi all! As part of our investigation of the social side of Wikipedia in SoNet group at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Trento - Italy), Paolo Massa and I created Manypedia.
http://manypedia.com/ On Manypedia, you compare Linguistic Points Of View (LPOV) of different language Wikipedias. For example (but this is just one of the many possible comparisons), are you wondering if the community of editors in the English, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedias are crystallizing different histories of the Gaza War? Now you can check “Gaza War” page from English and Arabic Wikipedia (both translated into English) or from Hebrew Wikipedia (translated into English). Manypedia, by using the Google Translate API, automatically translates the compared page in a language you don’t know into the language you know. And this is not limited to English as first language. For example you can search a page in the Italian Wikipedia (or in 56 languages Wikipedias) and compare it with the same page from the French Wikipedia but translated into Italian. In this way you can check the differences of the page from another language Wikipedia even if you don’t know that language. We hope that this project will sound interesting to you and maybe you could help us to make it better. We're really interested in any kind of feedback! Please write us! p.s.: If you're facebook addicted please like Manypedia ;) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Manypedia/202808583098332 Federico Scrinzi -- f.
