Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [1] local wiki 18 1 1 A The problem is false as it is based on wrongly made studies focused only on several "third world" country experts; Nigerian and Indonesian experts and surveys has nothing in common with Polish Wikipedia; this was supported by 4 other users. wrong research concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [2] local wiki 18 2 1 A Traditional encyclopedic format is good enough for intelligent people, we are not going to change it just to make some lazy teenagers more happy. That was supported by 2 other users. encyclopedic format concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [3] local wiki 18 3 1 A That was idea of google Knol, so why is it failed and Wikipedia is the winner? Traditional encyclopedic format is still attractive to most of the people really looking for good quality knowledge. Google Knol concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [4] local wiki 18 4 1 A The perception level of readers is coming down; they are not able to focus for longer than 15 min; but should we lower our standards because of it? No. readers perception level concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [5] local wiki 18 5 1 A Wikipedia way of presenting knowledge is very old fashioned; we must increase its attractiveness by adding more multimedia well combined with the text like well made informative films and animations. This was supported by 2 users. multimedia enhancement supportive
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [6] local wiki 18 6 1 A The issue is poor general content in many academic topics which makes Wikipedia loose competition with professional academic education platforms and databases. This was supported by 2 users. poor content concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [7] local wiki 18 7 1 A We need external experts to produce good animations and other multimedia content; the volunteers capacity in this field is very limited. experts for multimedia content supportive
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [8] local wiki 18 8 1 A The Wikipedia policy not to link to commercial multimedia sources such as Spotify, makes Wikipedia poorer; how to lustrate articles about contemporary artist without linking to their works in commercial services? links to commercial multimedia neutral
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [9] local wiki 18 9 1 B Wikipedia is very popular thanks to high visibility in Google so the risk of readership decline is low even if more people are using social media; as long as it is high in google searches, readers and subsequently editors are still coming; we only need to be open for newbies to increase retention of them visibility and new editors concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [10] local wiki 18 10 1 B The readership of Wikipedia is not given for ever, there are many examples of services which were very popular in the past but now they are forgotten; Google might start creating knowledge services (such as bot-created quasi encyclopedic articles based on their enormous databases) which can easily cover most of topics an push back Wikipedia visibility in their searches, especially in mobile apps. Google as our competitor supportive
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [11] local wiki 18 11 1 A Wikipedia is already used and treated as something different than typical encyclopedia; it is promotional (unfortunately) vehicle for many companies; it is also pretty fast news service, sometimes faster than traditional written newspapers; readers in fact enjoy these non-encyclopedic aspects of Wikipedia but there is an issue of self-definition of scope and self-esteem of Wikipedia. Beyond encyclopedic format neutral
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [12] local wiki 18 12 1 B In order to make Wikipedia more readable and searchable, especially in mobiles we might consider cutting long articles into shorter ones + writing good entry paragraphs which might itself create "a concise, simplified version of WIkipedia" Conciseness of content supportive
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [13] local wiki 18 13 1 B There are topics which are hard to describe shortly and briefly, therefore it cannot be cut in smaller pieces or simplified without loosing their meaning just to make happy teenagers using Snapchat and communicators; the advantage of Wikipedia is that it contains such a topics and long, mainly textual content; This was supported by 3 other users. Long topics concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [14] local wiki 18 14 1 B Polish Wikipedia due to language is not going to be read in Africa or Indonesia, so we don't need to take Nigerian or Indonesian readers' problems into account. This is probably the problem for English Wikipedia mainly. III world problems are not ours concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [15] local wiki 18 15 1 B In answer to the above it was said that in any part of the world there are readers who need simple answers and readers who needs deeper knowledge; Wikipedia is good in providing deeper knowledge and does not need to support all educational needs of everyone. Deep knowledge more important neutral
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [16] local wiki 18 16 2 C No Original Research policy in Wikipedia is crucial for not changing it into a place of fights between supporters of various conspiracy theories. Original Research concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [17] local wiki 18 17 2 C "Sum of human knowledge" is a good general goal, but it cannot to be understood too directly, as we shouldn't put to Wikipedia everything. All spoken tradition is in fact a kind of OR, so it should be examined by experts and turn into reputable, referenced works to make it valid to cover in Wikipedia and it is not a work for Wikipedians but rather scientist. Spoken tradition is OR concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [18] local wiki 18 18 2 Out of scope? Artificial support for use to be editors communities in poor countries is waste of resources; we need rather to concentrate on regions where there are potential editors, which needs a certain level of development; but they are neglected by WMF. waste of resources concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [19] local wiki 18 19 2 C If some knowledge cannot be well sourced, then it should not be included in Wikipedia; we should rather focus on not well covered and not well sourced topics which are important and can be well sourced. This should rather been supported than trying to cover issues which cannot be well documented. quality not the amount of content concern
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [20] local wiki 18 20 2 C Wikisource can and should be used more extensively as it is place to put many things that cannot be placed in Wikipedia and then can be linked from Wikipedia articles. Wikisource neutral
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [21] local wiki 18 21 2 C In fact there is no big difference in audio/video recording of spoken knowledge and written transcription of it, and in fact one can argue that all written sources are the transcriptions of someone's toughs; the issue is if the author and/or place of publication is trustworthy; we can use audio/video recording as a sources with the disclaimer that it is opinion of the author, not the generally approved knowledge. recordings of spoken knowledge supportive
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia [22] local wiki 18 22 2 C The issue with audio/video material is that there is very little of it available on-line and being somehow verifiable to the similar level as written; if they exists it is OK - we can use them as a sources, but at the moment there are much more written sources. audio/video material supportive
Wikidata B Wikidata [23] local wiki 3 1 1 A Since non-Western people don't want to consume content with western-centric norms, the projects in their native languages may set their own norms. norms neutral
Wikidata B Wikidata [24] local wiki 3 2 1 A It'd be helpful for Wikimedia to emphasize verifiability more than reliability. When an assertion is made, provide the context/source in a way that the user can actually verify that the assertion is true. verifiability neutral
Wikidata B Wikidata [25] local wiki 3 3 1 A, B It seems like the interest of the author of the challenge isn't creating a healthy conversation around questions that actually matter for the community. problems concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [26] local wiki 29 1 1 B We should consider the issue that youngsters seek knowledge in other ways then their parents. However, it doesn't seem to be new. new supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [27] local wiki 29 2 1 A, B No one said encyclopedias are supposed to be interesting. interesting neutral
Meta-Wiki B Meta [28] local wiki 29 3 1 A, B We only write where we want to go, but not how we get there. means neutral
Meta-Wiki B Meta [29] local wiki 29 4 1 A The encyclopedia project is not helpful in bringing communities together well. Rather multiple language sites cater to their own audiences of specific languages but may not help bring communities together positively. multilingual concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [30] local wiki 29 5 1 A How would abandoning the Western encyclopedia model and adopting a newer encyclopedia model help improve scientific/expert articles? experts concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [31] local wiki 29 6 1 A WMF should lessen its dependence on the encyclopedia project and expand its role and energy in other projects. sister projects supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [32] local wiki 29 7 1 A If this encyclopedic model is not wanted anymore or it will be worsen instead of improved by the future strategic direction of the WMF, I will be immediately out of this "movement". model concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [33] local wiki 29 8 1 A The strategy team should look up failed proposals related to social media, however, as proven, such "social media"-related proposals have failed. social media supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [34] local wiki 29 9 1 B It wouldn't be a good thing, to lower its quality standards just to desperately reach Michael and Annisa. As long as this seems an option for the WMF, I loose my motivation quality concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [35] local wiki 29 10 1 A Wikipedia is not enough. We must go further in out mission of sharing knowledge. Educational videos and games are a perfect example. An encyclopedia is just one of the many possible educational resources. We need to go beyond an encyclopedia. beyond encyclopedia supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [36] local wiki 29 11 1 A I would like to see the WMF build a new educational project as meaningful as Wikipedia. But the famous label is Wikipedia, and it will be tempting to use this label or the shelter of the big project for aims "beyond the encyclopedia", which will have side-effects. famous label concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [37] local wiki 29 12 1 B We need video versions of Wikipedia articles which are published on Youtube as well as Commons. video supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [38] local wiki 29 13 1 A, B Many people get bored reading encyclopedic articles, and prefer watching well made videos. Making good videos would require a completely different kind of editors. resources supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [39] local wiki 29 14 1 A Video contributors should disseminate articles to select according to target audiences and they should provide directing links to Wikipedia articles for further reading. The video produced should encourage them to read Wikipedia articles. video supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [40] local wiki 29 15 1 A For more complex topics, people drift away from video after a few minutes. Most literate people can read the same content in less time than it takes to watch a video. It's difficult to search or to re-access particular video content. video concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [41] local wiki 29 16 1 A The encyclopedic model is not the one solution for all kinds of information needs. But I enjoy encyclopedias and that is why I contribute. WMF should focus on what contributors enjoy. joy concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [42] local wiki 29 17 1 A If our goal is to share knowledge, we can't just do the task we like. The number 1 rule in marketing is to do what the customers want. customers supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [43] local wiki 29 18 1 B Must integrity and quality of the projects be sacrificed to appeal to mobile-oriented groups, especially the younger generations? integrity concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [44] local wiki 29 19 1 A Wikiversity could be a good place to publish original research, especially unorthodox or controversial document content. Wikiversity supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [45] local wiki 29 20 1 A Wikipedia's purpose is to have well written, trusted, information that is a summary of reliable sources. If we try to be all things to all people we will fail. purpose concern
Meta-Wiki B Meta [46] local wiki 29 21 1 A It's not our mission to change the way the developing world educates. Local education systems could use our content in a reform of how they work, but ultimately we help those who formal education has failed. education neutral
Meta-Wiki B Meta [47] local wiki 29 22 1 A We need to be more open about what our failures are rather than just keeping the projects going and adding new ones. failures neutral
Meta-Wiki B Meta [48] local wiki 29 23 1 A Self-starting communities from countries that haven't had printed encyclopedias in local languages are weaker than communities which are familiar with encyclopedias. language neutral
Meta-Wiki B Meta [49] local wiki 29 24 1 B Making articles more readable (and editable?) through messenger apps makes a whole lot of sense. messenger apps supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [50] local wiki 29 25 1 A We do need to make our content more modular. We do need to move away from wikitext. We started moving some parts away from wikitext, but we need to go much further, and much faster, if we want our content to be more reusable in other media. wikitext supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [51] local wiki 29 26 1 A Articles connected by interwiki should be more consistent. The situation where communities are independent leads to high level of inaccuracy or at least un-checkability of the content consistency. consistency neutral
Meta-Wiki B Meta [52] local wiki 29 27 1 A Provide an interface (an app, a tool) which drills down to (sub)section level, and attempts to extract a summary of that subsection - with a heading, a one-sentence text, and (often) an image. interface supportive
Meta-Wiki B Meta [53] local wiki 29 28 1 A While having a quality-focused project is nice, what about civility? Does quality outweigh civility, or is it the other way around? civility neutral
Meta-Wiki B Meta [54] local wiki 29 29 1 A Without civility the quality will not be as good as it could. civility neutral
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [55] local wiki 62 1 1 A We could work with Kahn Academy, or with Osmosis. partners supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [56] local wiki 62 2 1 A A particular way of facing these real world problems may threaten Wikipedia. threats concern
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [57] local wiki 62 3 1 A We shouldn't compromise the quality of what we have built and we should keep striving for more. quality concern
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [58] local wiki 62 4 1 A How do we balance the needs of the different audiences we serve? audiences supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [59] local wiki 62 5 1 A Simple well-written overviews as leads should be encouraged. overviews supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [60] local wiki 62 6 1 A Wikibooks and Wikiversity can host instructional content, but they need development. sister projects supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [61] local wiki 62 7 1 A What is the Western encyclopedia model? Is there an Eastern or Southern encyclopedia model? model neutral
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [62] local wiki 62 8 1 B Given the "expert insights", do we believe that teenagers are intended to be the primary users of Wikipedia? Perhaps we should develop a project that would be targeted to youth? teenagers neutral
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [63] local wiki 62 9 1 A Wikipedia should broaden its range to make it more lively by increasing the role of videos & integrating with other wiki projects. videos supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [64] local wiki 62 10 1 B Wikipedia and Wikimedia could have their own social media accounts specifically aimed at the younger generation. social media supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [65] local wiki 62 11 1 A We could have a comment section where non-Wikipedians can discuss issues and make suggestions to improve the article, as is done on YouTube comment supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [66] local wiki 62 12 1 A Modularize articles into parts that can be more easily read. Improve peer review to recognize good article. Assign editors more suggested targets. Strengthen rewards or professional editing to bring article series into completion. Connect to real identities. concrete supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [67] local wiki 62 13 1 A Launch Quickpedia, a companion version of Wikipedia which would give a mobile-screen-full of condensed information with links to associated quick access information and to Wikipedia articles for deeper discussion. Quickpedia supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [68] local wiki 62 14 1 A We could have flow charts showing where the information comes from tracing that back not to the cited sources but all the way back to the ultimate origins. verifiability supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [69] local wiki 62 15 1 A Educate Wikipedians to insert some kind of microformatting that would make the information available on demand for some application or gadget. This idea points to a database-oriented solution and a tech-oriented team that would cooperate with specialists of various areas. database supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [70] local wiki 62 16 1 A Delete the sentence in the "what Wikipedis is not" policy that says "The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach subject matter". teach supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [71] local wiki 62 17 1 B Wikipedia can't deliver information in a manner that is accessible, understandable, engaging for everyone at once. We can ensure that the information is accurate, and partner with other organisations who deliver it to various audiences. delivery supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [72] local wiki 62 18 1 B The wikipedia website is difficult to navigate as a reader or seeker of information. More thought is needed about the organisation and display of information. navigation supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [73] local wiki 62 19 1 A, B The Wikimedia community needs to strengthen it's mobile strategy. mobile supportive
English Wikipedia B English Wikipedia [74] local wiki 62 20 1 A, B More active use of social media for Wikimedia users and content creators to exchange information and share. social media supportive
Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [75] local wiki 3 1 1 A All technical tools need to be upgraded and adapted to other populations. Blind, small children, etc. Technical tools, Upgrade supportive
Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [76] local wiki 3 2 1 A We need to create a tool for editing videos in Wikipedia, so editors here can create videos that review the articles, and upload them to YouTube. Wikipedia should go into social networks and set up Twitter and Facebook accounts. We need to create a tool that will play articles, not external tools from external sites. I believe that only in this way can we be relevant in 2030, only if we open up to new audiences. New audience, Social networks supportive
Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [77] local wiki 3 3 1 A We should first define exactly the problem, and then discuss it. Our communities will change together with the changing world because they are part of the world. The content will remain relevant only to the extent that the topics will be relevant. if anyone in the future predicts that in 2030 history will interest no one and therefore will want most of our effort invested in futuristic issues, it will challenge us. As long as it does not happen or is not serious, you can continue forward. Define, Problem, Change, Relevant Concern
Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [78] local wiki 3 4 1 A If the question is in terms of availability to the new reader, the solution is to create a reader-readable opening so that at least the video creators from whom the young people of the future will learn the little knowledge they learn by utopias will read them without errors Readable, Eeaders neutral
Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [79] local wiki 3 5 1 A this is not going to change. People will always read (or use knowledge of a disk connection to the brain, but again text). the education system may adopt (Toffler talked about it) a stratified approach that will cause not everyone to learn the same things, but still a classic encyclopedia, accurate and readable, will be very useful. Change, Read, Text Concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [80] local wiki 9 1 1 A When experts say that there are other needs for information than the classical or online encyclopedia, off course they are right. But I as an author like encyclopedias. And this is why I contribute to one. We, the community, know how to make an endylcopedia and we want an encyclopedia. If you, WMF, wants to make something different you should start looking for different contributors. But as long as the readers of your encyclopedia pay your wages you should make sure, that the encylopedic project Wikipedia gets adequately equipped and supported. leave us alone supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [81] local wiki 9 2 1 B The questions neither surprise me nor are they suitable in any way for Wikipedia. Off course many want answers to many questions, but we can never supply those. There are countless forums for that. Emerging countries are not of interest here. German is not a language spoken in emerging countries (this might be different for other languages). Talking about YouTube, Snapchat and others is a much too narrow point of view to look at the world outside Wikipedia. We are talking about the leisure behaviour of young people. But Wikipedia is aiming at older target groups like pupils and students who want acquire enlarged knowledge. Whether Wikipedia is significant for a large or rather a small group does not matter. What matters that there will still be a community that writes, maintains and protects articles, nothing else. unimportant concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [82] local wiki 9 3 1 A Is our current encyclopedic format sustainable? It is not and there certainly is need for further expansion. The structure has to be further adapted to the en:Semantic Web to get answers faster. The encyclopedic content would remain unchanged but be written with additional variables. Semtantic Web supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [83] local wiki 9 4 1 A Particular positions in emerging countries. Besides such projects as en:Wikipedia Zero I hope for better machine translations to faciliate the transfer. But before starting that there should be fundimental foreign aid and internet access. foreign aid neutral
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [84] local wiki 9 5 1 A The formal education system does not work. That is not a new information. To provide alternatives it is not enough to further extend Wikipedia. Sister projects and other projects of free education should be supported as well. Nowadays for a large parts Wikipedia and its sister projects shoulder what the eductation system does not manage. In general the education policy of teaching can be enriched by more online possibilities and the use of technology such as Wikis. Wikis supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [85] local wiki 9 6 1 A People searching for new learning methods: from the point of view of didactics it is important to appeal to many different senses and to go beyond mere knowledge transfer. But the WikiMedia is too formal for learning for many, so that they will end up in YouTube. But I doubt that our projects can go beyond plain knowledge transfer and machine communication. Wikiversity and Wikibooks are too theoretical for many. more practical supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [86] local wiki 9 7 1 Rich knowledge: one of the most difficult questions of humankind, where does knowlege start and where does it end. I would regard the Wikimedia projects as rich, but not as comprehensively complete. Do we want to preserve all knowledge of young people from social media and pop culture resp. are we even able to do this? Rich knowledge neutral
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [87] local wiki 9 8 1 A Comprehensive, standalone and/or visual engagement. Short answers you will find in Google search. Visual engagement is not always the right way for Wikipedia and its sister projects. But Wikipedia articles can be used for visual projects such as games and geocaching. visual projects concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [88] local wiki 9 9 1 A Acquiring new skills: besides Wikiversity and Wikibooks we are talking about the acquiring of theoretical knowledge. For pracitcal reasons textual and audivisual tutorials are the better solution. Which skills you acquire as an active project is another question. skills neutral
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [89] local wiki 9 10 1 B Changed structures in the searching and sharing of content (mostly young people): this would finally mean more search engine optimization. Semantics and integration with social networks. I can imagine that discussion culture could be developed futher (as happened in en:Wikia. Wikia supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [90] local wiki 9 11 1 A Reliable sources are rejected often because of distrust and scpeticism: you can never trust an open Wiki, no matter what quality and control mechanisms it has. But accpetance of Wikipedia has improved. It is alarming what we accept without critically scrutinizing it. Wikipedia cannot do much against a general mistrust of reliable media. Wikipedia is only as good as its sources. Accepting concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [91] local wiki 9 12 1 Young people place trust in individuals whose judgement and intellectual honesty they respect. This has never been any different. That is a very normal process of growing up. Even grownups are showing this behaviour, for example in politics. The polarisation in social media channels should be viewed critically. The Wikimedia projects should be an antithesis to this. Trust supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [92] local wiki 9 13 1 How to reach the target group "young people": Besides technology, usability and structure what's important for the Wikimedia projects are subjects. Young people notice quickly that many articles are written for older people (for example about people with oldfashioned professions, osolete types of entertainment). Maybe at our beginning that was more balanced, because there was a higher numbers of young editors amongst us. Today much of what we do comes from special knowledge of an elder generation. Pop culture (what young people are interested in) is almost nonexistent in the German versions. So many young people prefer Wikia and others. Young people want to research themenselves with primary sources instead of acamedically researching. older people neutral
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [93] local wiki 9 14 1 The Wikimedia Foundation should start another project, Wikiclickydicky, to suck up to all who are not interested into an encyclopedia, like Michael and Annisa. But WMF should not damage our existing encylopedia to slaughter its high quality content for a social media trend. The high quality standard of Wikipedia is not negotiable when not everybody is interested in it. Wikiclickydicky concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [94] local wiki 9 15 1 It would be great if we could build some mobile apps. For example an app that can use bird song files from Commons to identify birds when walking around. When successfull the app would should the article about the bird. Or an app that works as a travel-guide. There might be thousands of apps. This only works when the Wiki concent is transferable to apps, meaning that apps would be writable and editable as easy as Wikipedia articles. I have no problem with those apps having a social aspects. Each app could have a community. They could have an aspect of learning, or a quiz aspect such as Wikiversity. Apps supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [95] local wiki 9 16 1 The result of this strategy process does not matter, because the result has already been predetermined. Predetermined concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [96] local wiki 9 17 1 I agree that the result of this strategy process is predetermined. Predetermined concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [97] local wiki 9 18 1 A We have to overcome the western-centric norms of Wikipedia. Orientation comes from "Orient", the east, but I can hardly find any of that in our articles about religion for instance. western-centric norms supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [98] local wiki 9 19 1 "Like his parents, Michael values that the content is useful, more than if it is high quality or free and neutral". But neutral for whom? How can content be usefull that is not free and neutral? This utilitarian understanding of Wikipedia cannot be a standard for Wikipedia. The challenge of this week does not generate any need for change of our projects. The opposite is the case. In all languages and projects we have to value quality, accuracy and neutrality higher than usefulness. quality concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [99] local wiki 9 20 1 Wikipedia should not only be for highfliers and highly intelligent people. For newbies it should be simple, otherwise we create our own elite. simple supportive

Dutch Wikipedia B Dutch Wikipedia [131] local wiki 1 1 1 Let's not forget that young people will grow up and hopefully develop better insights as to what is a reliable source. If they try to gather reliable information through unreliable sources, that does not mean that Wikipedia has to adapt to it. Primarily it is a problem of educational institutions. They clairly don't know sufficiently how to explain what is a reliable source, or don't have the time for these things. Wikipedia could approach governments to inform them about the results of the research. Information and knowledge is increasingly available for groups of people who did not have this opportunity in the past. That is, of course, great for a mind hungry for knowledge. This does also mean that this way how to present knowledge reaches people who don't know the 'Western model of an encyclopedia' may not know how to interpret it, when it comes to the reasoning behind this model. People don't like what they don't know. The reason that the 'western model of an encyclopedia' does not appeal to all cultures in the world to the same extent is of course the fact that the encyclopedia is a western invention. It does not mean that this model fails. I wonder if the objections to the "Western model of an encyclopedia" do not consist of prejudice to Western findings as such. See for this the political condition of the world at this time. Has that been investigated? Does it depend on the level of education that people in non Western countries think that the 'Western model of an encyclopedia' has shortcomings? The world of science is largely based on the Western way, too, and does not appeal to every culture to the same degree. It does not necessarily mean that the scientific world needs to be reformed. This also applies to Wikipedia. western model neutral

Really original news from the 'new' areas of the world is really a problematic issue, but it will not be wise to give 'easements' and shortcuts.

German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [196] local wiki 10 21 2 Oral traditions of African peoples are basically the same as documents, archive materials, old texts and so forth: classical primary sources. Including and intepreting primary sources can never be the task of Wikipedia. Within the Wikimedia projects we might possibly think about using them for Wikisource (I don't know if we can already do that). But only in the original language of the source. For Wikipedia we should not change how we handle this: never interpreting primary sources, merely quoting the scientific interpretation of secondary sources. And for this peer review is the standard for scientific publications, worldwide, and not only in the so-called Western culture. In secondary sources about the subject do not exist we have to wait until scientists analyze the source, otherwise we cannot use it for Wikipedia. sources
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [197] local wiki 10 22 2 Including primary sources is not the task of Wikipedia, at any rate not at the moment. But it can be the task of some other Wikimedia project. We might upload an audio file to Wikiquote, Wikisource or Commons, or to a newly created Wikimedia project with a name like Wikioral or Wikiwitness, but have to think about the following: We know who made the interview We know who the interviewee is We should maybe have a picture of the interviewee or he is identified by checking personal documents or having a confirmation of the identiy by a witness or check the credibility of the interviewee We should maybe have the complete names, the birth date and nationality of the interviewer and the interviewee We should maybe have time and place of the interview When conducting the interviews one could look at the scientific approach of for example ethnologist and empirical social researchers as best practice. We should achieve a legal certainty about the audio files. When using this primary sources we should apply high standards on the verification of the sources. sources
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [198] local wiki 10 23 2 In some Wikipedias we could integrate oral traditions as a large citation with additional descriptive text. I can recall that somebody was explaining a recipe. Should there be variations of this they could also be included, again accompanied with article text from regular sources. But for the beginning this should be allowed for the Wikipedia that actually want that. citations supportive
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [199] local wiki 10 24 2 At first glance large citations violate many of our rules: 'Verfiability', 'No original research', 'Quotations', 'What Wikipedia is not'. And you cannot simply cancle those out. Ultimately such ideas collide with our most important principle: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. In case this fundamental principle gets weakend there has to be a discussion (this is already the second week that WMF questions the so-called "western encyclopedic model"). They should start separate projects for this. You might profit from the hugh reputation of Wikipedia but won't water down Wikipedia's attempts at quality and reliability. citations concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [200] local wiki 10 25 2 Honestly I am shocked that all our core principles are seen as negotiable. We're not talking about 'change aversion' here. What is not acctable is to replace the whole project including the communiy for generating articles that have an improved machine readability just for not having to deal with those annoying Europeans. In case the model Wikipedia is obsolete you just have to deal with having a standstill. Then you have to start a new project. machine readability concern
German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [201] local wiki 10 26 2 I think that Wikis can try to use oral sources in case there are no other sources available. This could apply to Wikis in African languages. Of course they can keep writing articles about international pop stars and politicians in African languages, but that is not sufficient. So maybe oral history would help these Wikis, but that would take a bigger effort than just translation from en.wikipedia. Now what about quality and reliability? On our projects we normally try to use the best sources. There are enough reliable sources about scientific facts and you can use those - and there are subjects where you have to rely on press materials. So I think extending our sources through oral ones, because they can hardly be worse than many press releases. Especially when you look at the international press, the quality is dubious. Or does anybody really think that press releases in the former GDR are in any way usable as sources for Wikipedia? 'Fake news' would be terrible for us, yet in many countries they are standard. oral sources supportive

Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [343] local wiki 5 21 4 F Artificial Intelligence - I would recommend not using artificial intelligence to create content, but rather making editorial suggestions for editors (offering categories in an article, offering a new sub-category within a category, rephrasing a sentence, identifying the basis of the sentence).

Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [344] local wiki 5 22 4 F Could the reliability of sources be rated? This means that the source added to the article, as long as it has not received approval from a certain number of Wikipedians, will be considered as a suspect (or not tested). One of the options to give a solution to this is the transition of Wikipedia to the format of TiddlyWiki (a significant step). This is a wiki created on a collection of templates called Tiddler. You can say that a tiddler can include one sentence, a short definition, an entire paragraph, or a full article. Reliability, Sources, TiddlyWiki Supportive
Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [345] local wiki 5 23 4 F Assuming that in the future there will be a preference for voice content over textual content, Tiddlers have an advantage - it will reduce the amount of text that needs to be read (reducing the information load) and the user himself chooses what to focus on. We can introduce some content that we want and the articles will still be presented in a concise manner.

Hebrew Wikipedia Village Pump B Hebrew Wikipedia village pump [346] local wiki 5 24 4 F With regard to the fear of "loss of access to material that includes additional points of view," we can offer two modes of study in Wikipedia - a "focused" response to specific questions (when we need a quick answer and it does not interest us to read a recommended article) and "enrichment" Other topics, which is roughly the situation today on the front page and in the articles themselves). If more people search for "focus", and we only give them "enrichment," they'll look elsewhere. We can hope that the "focus" that will bring them to us will bring them from there to "enrichment."

French Wikipedia B French Wikipedia [358] local wiki 17 64 3 E The classic encyclopedia model, as adopted by Wikipedia, has proved its worth in terms of stability and adaptation.

Spanish Telegram group B Spanish-speaking community - Telegram group telegram off-wiki 39 35 3 E Not because a media is satirical or humorous, all its information is false. For example, the Mongolia magazine has a real-news section on some aspects of Spanish society.

That's why sources can not be accepted/discarded without context. context neutral

Dutch Wikipedia B Dutch Wikipedia [437] local wiki 1 2 3 E It would be best for Wikipedia to organize a symposium with historian and philosopher en:Frank Ankersmit and likeminded experts about Wikipedia and Fake News.

Dutch Wikipedia B Dutch Wikipedia [438] local wiki 1 3 3 E I think it is wiser to focus on what we want to achieve than on what we want to counteract. Right now Fake News is a hot item, but in a year the hot item maybe will be war propaganda or a lack of journalistic capacity. Our focus must be on collecting, bundling, editing and disseminating quality knowledge. That may help in counteracting Fake News. But this is a broader them, which suits us better imho. fake news concern
Dutch Wikipedia B Dutch Wikipedia [439] local wiki 1 4 3 E No, that is as if we look away and think that the problem does not exist anymore.

Dutch Wikipedia B Dutch Wikipedia [441] local wiki 1 6 3 E In general: on Wikipedia, we can counteract misinformation the best by making the indication of sources mandatory, with regard to everything that can be doubted. Nowadays it is not mandatory on Dutch Wikipedia, and you notice that. We should also stop translating Wikipedia articles haphazardly from other language versions. Instead, we'd better concentrate on articles with information collected by ourselves. And don't use other wiki's (other than Wikipedia) as source. A site such as Wikinews should be deleted. We should concentrate on the updating, improving and expanding of existing articles about topics that are in the news. There should also be more attention by itself for the improvement and expansion of articles. The focus seems to be nowadys at writing new articles. There is a lot of wrong information in the Wikipedia language versions, meaning misinformation, although that is often a different kind of misinformation than in the question of the challenge. fake news supportive

And in a very short time later we could read on the Dutch Wikipedia that the IS had destroyed the mosque. We must take care of these kind of things. We are an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Anything can only be accepted into Wikipedia when it is confirmed by official and/or independent sources.

German Wikipedia B German language Wikipedia discussion [451] local wiki 10 27 3 And again this study is besides the point and is almost worthless regarding Wikipedia. The statements has no meaning for Wikipedia, which is defined as an encyclopedic project. They are mostly about other projects resp. ideas for ruther projects. For all problems mentioned here there is an established solution: en:Wikipedia:Verifiability. Only reliable sources can be a basis for information in Wikipedia. In case there are no reliable sources we cannot write about it. Content and access are subjects for authors and in the forseeable future I do not see the collapse of acamedical and qualified institutions in the German-speaking area. So information for authors will be as accessible in the forseeable future as they are now, if not even better. About the epistemological question if objective evidence is (still) possible and how can you perceive objective evidence I would like to point out to de:Christoph Neubergers essay in the newest edition of M&K Medien & Kommunikationswissenschaft about journalistic objectivity (Volume 65, Issue 2 (2017), pages 406–431). Neuberger examines the possibility to establish and detect objectivity in journalism under the impression of the discussion about fake news and the further statements about loss of trust. He comes to the conclusion that it is possible and postulates criteria for establishing trust. Professional quality journalism and the Wikipedia can be an orientation for objectivity. objectivity neutral

Russian-speaking projects B Russian-speaking projects various local wiki 5 2 1 A The most successful project focused on giving ‘answers to specific questions’ is StackExchange portal. It has a completely different focus and model of organisation, but if we would move into that direction, it is appropriate to do in close collaboration with them to not repeat the same errors and to not fragment the knowledge. Ivan Pozdeev partnerships neutral
Russian-speaking projects B Russian-speaking projects various local wiki 5 3 1 B Wikipedia, Q&A, and social media are three completely different niches with completely different priorities and standards, so attempting a vertical integration between them would be hurtful to ability to compete in all spheres. Wiki has a most advanced system of gathering knowledge and the main focus should be stuck to it (so if we do something different, it doesn’t hurt this system). Ivan Pozdeev focus concern
Russian-speaking projects B Russian-speaking projects various local wiki 5 4 1 A Repeating the idea that I voiced earlier in conversation: most readers do not read the full article, so the most quality assessment should be made over preamble. The main text could be even hidden by default. Bechamel quality neutral
Russian-speaking projects B Russian-speaking projects various local wiki 5 5 1 A The source of the problem is fully understandable: all sources of information that are ‘right’ and ‘reliable’ are not right and reliable. All sources in Wikipedia are conventionally reliable, so people are getting that and are seeking ways to evaluate them − and that is only the opinions of others. Egor verifiability supportive
Russian-speaking projects B Russian-speaking projects various local wiki 5 6 2 C Who has a right to say that ‘traditional ways of verification’ result in truth? Wikimedia projects have a general systematic error to convey information as truthful. The problem is how we can evaluate ethicality of circulation of marginal opinions. From one side we have destruction of NPOV in favour of mainstream, from other side − the danger of influence of misinformation, propaganda, antihumanistic ideas. But it is a problem for the whole world and it is not solvable with users’ opinions. Egor verifiability concern
Russian-speaking projects B Russian-speaking projects various local wiki 5 7 3 E The only productive idea for solving this is authorisation of all information that is given out to the world. Unauthorised information should be doubtful by default and its processing should be done through other means. We need to stop lying ourselves about ‘protection of authors’, because this is not a protection and any action in the net can be tracked without a problem. Egor verifiability concern
Russian-speaking projects B Russian-speaking projects various local wiki 5 8 4 F The only possibility I see is taking on complex of not only information, but ‘information about information’: about sources, authors, current restrictions, etc. The knowledge about restrictions gives us an opportunity to work on them, technological problems are secondary. Every source should be considered made-up, nothing should be considered ‘an absolute knowledge’. Egor sources neutral
