This document provides a report on the HOPAU project to document the 2012 London Paralympics. It summarizes that HOPAU created over 160 articles about Australian Paralympians and over 130 classification articles. It held workshops and received organizational support. HOPAU content was engaged with on social media platforms and saw high viewership on Wikipedia. The project helped improve coverage of the Paralympics on Wikimedia projects through original reporting, images, and classification information.
Project London is a team of the top American track cyclists, including 2008 Olympic champion Jamie Staff as coach, aiming to compete internationally and win medals at the 2012 London Olympics. The team will participate in major track cycling events like World Cups in 2011-2012, which attract tens of thousands of fans. These up-and-coming cyclists, including a firefighter, student, and Disneyland host, have already set several national and North American records in just eight months. Their goal is to represent the US and beat the odds in London 2012.
The Olympics are an event that happens every four years that involves many countries and is viewed by millions of people. Every Olympics there has been some type of ethical problem such as substance abuse, bribery, and sexual violence. The IOC needs to do a better job of regulating these problems and having higher consequences if acts are breached. From an athletic standpoint, I don't understand why someone would train for four years and have it all thrown away after one mistake.
The Infosys Prize is an annual award established in 2008 to recognize and honor outstanding achievements of researchers and scientists of Indian origin. It awards 50 lakh rupees each in six categories, including mathematics and four scientific fields. The prize aims to encourage high-quality scientific research by researchers in India.

The 2012 Summer Paralympic Games, the fourteenth Summer Paralympic Games, are taking place between 29 August and 9 September, as governed by the International Paralympic Committee. They are being held in London, United Kingdom, after the city was successful with its bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics. It is the second-largest multi-sport event ever held in the United Kingdom after the Summer Olympics, and is expected to be the largest and most commercially successful Paralympics ever; prior to the Games the IPC estimated that over 4,200 athletes from 164 nations would compete. Growing interest in Paralympic sport worldwide and Great Britain's success during the recent Summer Olympics helped contribute to a significantly higher demand for tickets than ever before, breaking numerous sales records
The 2012 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony was held on 29 August 2012, starting at 20:30 BST and marking the official opening of the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, England.

Descending Mount Everest. Steps towards applied Wikipedia researchDario Taraborelli
This document summarizes Dario Taraborelli's talk on applied Wikipedia research at WikiSym 2013. It discusses how Wikipedia research has shifted from focusing on topics like online collaboration and participation to newer areas like breaking news collaboration and the gender gap. It also outlines several research projects aimed at improving Wikipedia, such as tools for trend analysis, vandalism detection, and good-faith newbie detection. Challenges mentioned include difficulties with policy changes, software integration, and subject recruitment. The document concludes by discussing possibilities for a new social contract around Wikipedia research.
The Future of Knowledge in the Age of Wikipedia - REMIXNYC 2014Andrew Lih
The Future of Knowledge in the Age of Wikipedia, talks about the history of the world's most popular reference work, how galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) have come to work with it, and the challenges to Wikipedia's growth. We also describe how Wikipedia solves the "knowledge gap" problem by being the unusual blend of speed, depth and accuracy.
Subjects discussed: Smithsonian, British Museum, National Archives, VOX, Ezra Klein, Wikidata, Histropedia, Wikipedia, mobiles, Jimmy Wales, Ward Cunningham, Larry Sanger.

SESSION 406 - 80,000 Volunteers Can't Be Wrong: The Case for Greater Collaboration with Wikipedia
Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting 2012
Aug 10, 2012, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Sara Snyder, MLS , MA
Webmaster
Smithsonian Institution, Archives of American Art
Wikipedia is the fifth most popular Web property in the world and is continually expanded by 80,000 editors from around the globe. How can archives harness this incredible level of participation for their benefit? Join colleagues and Wikipedia volunteers from the National Archives and Records Administration and the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art to learn about the Wikipedian in Residence Program and other initiatives that will result in greater knowledge and exposure of your collections.
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia created in 2001 that can be edited by anyone. It is made up of over 40 million articles across 301 languages and receives nearly 500 million unique visitors per month. Wikipedia aims to provide a freely available, universally accessible collection of knowledge that is written collaboratively by volunteers around the world. While praised for its open access of information, it has also been criticized for potential biases and inaccuracies given its open editing structure.
Improving the troubled relationship between Scientists and Wikipedia Duncan Hull
This document discusses improving the relationship between scientists and Wikipedia. It notes that Wikipedia often lacks basic biographical information about notable scientists. A Wikipedian in Residence program was established at the Royal Society to address this issue through edit-a-thons and releasing portraits and data under open licenses. This led to improved coverage of Fellows of the Royal Society on Wikipedia. The document advocates for expanding such programs to other scientific organizations to increase representation of scientists on Wikipedia.
Editing Wikipedia: Why You Should and How You Can Support Your Userslisbk
This document is a presentation by Brian Kelly from Cetis on editing Wikipedia and supporting users. The presentation provides 11 top tips for librarians on Wikipedia, including understanding why it is important, being willing to update articles, creating an account and profile, understanding principles, and supporting others. It also discusses case studies on Wikipedia use in education and outlines the structure of a workshop to train others on editing Wikipedia.
Why and how librarians should engage with Wikipedialisbk
Slides for a talk on "Why and How Librarians Should Engage With Wikipedia" given by Brian Kelly, Innovation Advocate at Cetis, University of Bolton at the CILIPS Autumn Gathering 2014 event in Edinburgh on 30 October 2014.

The document discusses how to evaluate and appropriately use Wikipedia for research. It begins by outlining Wikipedia's strengths such as up-to-date information and external references, as well as weaknesses like potential inaccuracies. The document recommends using Wikipedia for topic development, keywords, and finding external sources. It provides tips for evaluating articles, such as checking the talk page for questions, the editing history for signs of vandalism, and references for credibility. Examples are given and students practice the evaluation techniques on sample article topics.
This document provides an overview of Wikimedia projects for schools. It discusses Wikimedia's mission to provide free access to knowledge and its projects like Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and Wikimedia Commons. It addresses common concerns about accuracy and reliability but notes studies have found Wikipedia to be comparable to traditional sources. The document provides tips for school projects involving contributing to Wikimedia sites and ends with contact information and additional resources.
Wikipedia launched in 2001 and quickly overtook the existing encyclopedia Nupedia. It expanded internationally and gained mainstream media attention in 2001. The Wikimedia Foundation was established in 2003. By 2005, Wikipedia became the most popular reference website on the internet. It grew rapidly between 2001-2008, reaching over 5 million registered editors and 2.5 million English articles. While Wikipedia is non-profit and run primarily by volunteers, it is estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars based on replacement costs and similar websites' valuations, though it only costs $25 million annually to operate.
Wikipedia is a free, online encyclopedia written collaboratively by volunteers. It contains over 13 million articles in over 260 languages. Articles can be edited by anyone with internet access, though certain pages require approval. While this open model allows rapid growth and updating, it also leaves the content vulnerable to vandalism and the insertion of biased or inaccurate information. However, Wikipedia has developed robust systems for monitoring changes and correcting errors. It aims to serve as a comprehensive summary of all human knowledge.
What and how users read: Transforming reading behavior into valuable feedback...Müller-Birn Claudia
Most of the attention in previous research on the Wikipedia community has been devoted to the study of its production side: editors and their motivations, activity and roles. However, the value of the encyclopedia is also given by the millions of people who access it every day. In this work we focus on the - until now understudied - usage side of Wikipedia, investigating readers’ preference and behaviour as a precious source of information that can provide useful feedback to the editors’ community.

Catch any of the Olympics this summer?
Miss the commentary on the coverage?
Scan the social media platforms for trends and insights?
FLTR Olympics is the first of our monthly FLTR reports, which will represent our filter, or take, on what’s important, particularly as it relates to how brands and technology connect with people.
“Faster, Higher, Stronger”—the Olympic motto—could very well encapsulate the insights we gained from what became the largest brand and technology spectacle to date.
This document provides a summary of key insights and marketing takeaways from analyzing social media, broadcasts, and other coverage of the 2012 London Olympics. It identifies several themes, including: the social games (how social media transformed the experience), the mobile games (how viewers engaged via mobile devices), the female games (prominence of women athletes), the enabled games (role of technology in performances and viewing), and the intimate games (personal interactions via social media). The Olympics demonstrated the massive scale and value of social media for brands, athletes and events.
Slides for a workshop session on "Open Knowledge: Wikipedia and Beyond" facilitated by Brian Kelly and Simon Grant, Cetis at the Cetis 2014 conference at the University of Bolton on 17-18 June 2014.

An encyclopedia is a set of books or online resource that provides information on many topics in alphabetical order. Encyclopedias have evolved from printed books to include online and multimedia versions. While Wikipedia allows open collaboration, traditional encyclopedias ensure accuracy through expert editing of contributed content. The purpose of an encyclopedia continues to be debated, between providing quick facts versus authoritative in-depth information.
HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

History of the Paralympics in Australia (Wikipedia) at the London Games
1. HOPAU @
London 2012
Paralympics
A report by Laura Hale
laura@fanhistory.com
Purplepopple on twitter
LauraHale on Wikipedia
Draft dated 15 September 2012
2. Content Development
• Articles created about every one of the
161 Australian 2012 Summer
Paralympians.
• Pictures of every 2012 Australian
Paralympian found on Commons and
Wikipedia.
• 130 classification articles created.
• 6 articles achieved Good Article status.
• 60 articles improved for Did You know.
• Over 70 articles published on Wikinews
in lead up and during the London
Games.
• Over 250 images taken by community in
lead up donated to Commons.
• 10 Paralympic related interviews
uploaded to Commons.
3. Workshops
• State Library of Queensland
workshop.
• Classification workshop in
Canberra.
• Sydney Rollers & Gliders World
Challenge Wikinews test
workshop.
• 3 IRC Wikinews Workshops.
• Wikinews workshop held in
London.
4. Organisational Support
• Wikimedia Australia funding for travel to
London, and organisational support.
• Australian Paralympic Committee
funding for travel to London, clothing,
pins, general organisational support and
workshop hosting.
• Wikimedia Foundation provided
branded clothing.
• Wikimedia UK hosted Wikinews
workshop and provided Wikimedia
merchandise.
• Wikinews contributors created program
assistance for mobile reporting and ran
multiple workshops.
5. Games Attention
• Kate Lundy blogged about the
HOPAU effort.
• Kate Lundy mentioned the
HOPAU effort in Parliament.
• France 24 mentioned project.
• An English newspaper mentioned
the project.
• An Australian television station
used a HOPAU taken image from
Rollers & Gliders World Challenge.
• A Wikinews article was published
in print in Sierra Leone.
6. Social Media:
Twitter
People linked to HOPAU related content on Twitter, with
the most popular content to link to being Wikinews
articles. 117 links were shared by 38 distinct users for
Wikinews content, 109 distinct links by 26 users for
Wikipedia articles about 2012 Australian Paralympians,
and 24 links by 15 distinct users to classification articles.
This only looks at links to the desktop view of the
Wikipedia article. People also linked to HOPAU Wikipedia
supported articles using the mobile view version and
using Wikipedia’s URL shortener link.
7. Social Media:
Twitter
The three types of Twitter linkers are relatively similar,
with the exception of the 2012 Australian Paralympian
linkers who appear to update more frequently and
Wikinews linkers who have more followers friends.
8. Social Media:
LiveJournal
While Twitter and Facebook are social media sites that
are traditionally seen as driving traffic, lots of smaller
sites exist with active blogging communities. One such
site is LiveJournal.
While no one was linking to Wikinews articles on
LiveJournal in posts or comments, links to classification
articles were posted once each in journals owned by
aigantighe and mancunian. aigantighe is from New
Zealand and their journal is watched by 105 people.
Mancunian is from the United Kingdom and their journal
is watched by over 1,000 people. Miumau is the only
person to link to an article about a 2012 Australian
Paralympian. Their journal is watched by over 27,000
people.
9. Social Media:
Google+
The Google+ community has a different type of
community than the one on Twitter, attracting a
community that is a bit more tech savvy and elitist.
Because of this, they generally do not link to Wikipedia.
The community on the site was not much interested in
Australia and the Paralympics either, with only 19
comments using both keywords.
10. Wikipedia
Total views between 12 August and 11 September 2012.
There are 124 classification articles counted. T38

Translations
A few HOPAU connected articles have been translated into
other languages. Found in the list above, classification
articles have not been done in other languages. Efforts have
been made to reach out to Dutch and Portuguese speaking
Wikipedia contributors to get them to translate or create
these articles in their own language but so far with little
success.
Several articles related to Australia at the 2012 Summer
Paralympics exist in other languages, with athletics, cycling
and swimming being the most popular articles. Articles
about male Paralympians are more likely to be translated by
a ratio of 6:5. When the articles created by Laura Hale on
simple are subtracted, the ratio is 5:3.

Did You Know
In the lead up to the Paralympics, articles were prepped to
appear on Wikipedia’s front page in the Did You Know section.
The table below shows the date an article appeared and views
on the day.
13. Wikipedia:
Did You Know
When combined, the Did You Know articles had 66,367
views, accounting for 16.1% of all views to 2012
Australian Paralympian views during the Games period.
The most popular Did You Know was Chris Bond
(wheelchair rugby), which received twice as many views
as the second most popular Did You Know, likely because
it included a picture. The second most popular Did You
Know was Kayla Clarke and also included a picture.
34 articles about male Australian Paralympians appeared
at DYK compared to 25 about female Australian
Paralympians. The gender disparity was partly a result of
editor burnout, which resulted in articles of lower quality
and ineligible for Did You Know. Another factor was
Australia appears to have sent more male Paralympians
to the Games than females.
Amongst the most popular DYKs, six of the top ten
featured female Australian Paralympians.

on articles are geographically coming from based on the
article type, Australian Paralympian or classification, and
the sex of the Australian Paralympian.
Classification questions from entirely from outside
Australia. IP addresses from New South Wales used the
feedback tool most, giving feedback by a 2:1 ratio for
male:female articles. Queensland, which gave a sixth of
the feedback, had an even gender split in leaving
comments. Western Australia, Tasmania and Victoria all
only asked questions about male competitors, whereas
Mexico and the United Kingdom left feedback exclusively
on female competitors.

Australia at the 2012
Summer Paralympics
One of the goals of the project was to maintain the article about
Australia at the 2012 Summer Paralympics during the Games
period. Australia has a much smaller editing community and
was not hosting the Games, which meant article about Great
Britain was often updated faster and had more people working
on it. Nine editors made most of the edits to the article during
the Games period.
