Note: I think this page should focus on ways that those attending the academy can contribute to Wikipedia. Listed above are ways that Wikipedia contributes to a better world. We can touch on these in a presentation, of course, but if this page is to consist of practical advice that we're offering Academy participants, I don't think that this section of the page should be here.John Broughton21:28, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I expect that a good fraction of the participants (perhaps even the majority) won't be scientists, but rather people working to advance public understanding of science/health and their teaching to children and young adults. Such participants may not want to contribute/improve Wikimedia materials or even to vet them, but rather to find good ways to use them. I would consider it also a contribution to the WMF to develop new/better ways to ensure that Wikimedia materials are used effectively. Even the best materials aren't helpful if few people learn from them, for whatever reason. Proteins14:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
