- Abstract (maximum 500 words)
- My presentation proposes to add an additional sister site called 'WikiDebate' to Wikipedia, which will basically contain pages with formal, written debates. The debates will be structured(like normal wiki pages), with the key points of the debate highlighted in the index. The presentation talks about the need for the project, its feasibility, its implementation( along with issues like credibility of the debate, topics, bias, content etc.), the impact of the project and how it fits in with the ideology of the Wikimedia Foundation.
