Hello, Does it have to be Wikipedia? Wikipedia is a reference work for "everybody", but not especially written for pupils in the primary education.
We discussed this kind of issues at the foundation of the Klexikon, see our report in English: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:English_version_Konzept_Wikipedia_f%C3%BCr_Kinder.pdf Kind regards, Ziko 2017-05-04 14:44 GMT+02:00 Heather Ford <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > I've started working on a paper with folks who ran a fascinating project > called "Wikipedia Primary School" [1] where they investigated different > mechanisms or models for eliciting and developing Wikipedia content that > was relevant to the South African national primary school curriculum. We > are currently writing a paper that assesses each of the different types of > "interventions" that were tested/tried out in trying to fill in these gaps > - including editathons, contests and collaborations with scientific > journals. It seems as though there are a host of different types of models > that are used to fill in Wikipedia's gaps beyond the original "volunteer > edits what interests them in their spare time" model (e.g. Wikipedians in > residence, editing Wikipedia as part of class assignments).
