Thanks to everyone for making my first Wikimania a truly wonderful experience! It was such a pleasure to meet so many of you. For those of you I didn’t meet, my name is Melanie Kill and I am an academic researcher studying Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. My research examines how the genre of the encyclopedia is being defined and redefined by the global community that writes, edits, and manages Wikipedia.
If you haven’t already, I invite you to participate by completing the survey at http://www.whatiswikipedia.com. The survey should take about 15-25 minutes to complete, and your involvement is entirely voluntary and confidential. In addition to my gratitude, I will be giving away an iPod Shuffle to a lucky survey participant. Please email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Many thanks in advance for your help! Melanie Kill, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Rhetoric & Composition Department of English Texas Christian University _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
