Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia created and edited by volunteers. It was launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and has grown exponentially. Wikipedia articles are written and edited by internet users, though changes must be verified by sources. While convenient and vast in scope, some question its reliability since content can be changed by any user.
Science museum presentation
John Cummings is the Wikimedian in Residence for the Science Museum and Natural History Museum. His role is to educate people about Wikimedia projects, teach people how to contribute, help improve articles related to the museums, and find ways for the museum to use open knowledge projects. Wikipedia is a free, web-based encyclopedia that anyone can edit and is written collaboratively under Creative Commons licensing. It has over 16 million freely usable media files and serves around 500 million people per month. The Wikimedia Foundation oversees various Wikimedia projects including Wikipedia.
Wikipedia presentation
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia created through collaborative contributions. It began in 2001 and has grown rapidly, becoming the largest general reference work on the internet. Wikipedia is owned by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation and follows five main pillars - it is an encyclopedia, written from a neutral point of view, uses free content, treats editors with respect, and has no firm values. Anyone can edit Wikipedia articles, though new articles on some language editions require registration, and obvious vandalism is usually quickly removed.
Wikipedia presentation
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia created and maintained by users as an open collaboration project. It was launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. Wikipedia comes from the Hawaiian word for "quick" and "pedia" from encyclopedia. It started in English and is now the largest English encyclopedia with over 290 million articles in 301 languages and 500 million monthly visitors, making it one of the top 10 websites. Users can freely edit, add comments and their own articles from different perspectives.
Edcowiki
A wiki is a webpage that allows multiple users to collaboratively edit and create content immediately visible to all. Wikis are used to create collections of shared articles, documents, and materials. They have advantages like anyone can edit, changes are immediate, and many hands make light work, but also disadvantages like potential misinformation if not monitored and lack of authority of authors. Wikis work best when users feel ownership over the content and discourse remains respectful.

Wikis
A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively create, edit, and organize content. Ward Cunningham created the first wiki in 1994, called the WikiWikiWeb, inspired by the fast shuttle buses in Hawaii. Wikis use a simple markup language and allow anyone to easily edit pages to contribute or change content.
Social media
Social media refers to internet-based applications that allow users to create and share content or participate in social networking. Popular social media sites include Facebook, which allows users to connect with family and friends but can be a distraction for students, and Twitter, which allows users to share short messages but is not ideal for visual content. YouTube allows easy uploading and sharing of videos but also carries risks of public, explicit, or copyrighted content. While social media has benefits like connecting users and entrepreneurs, heavy use has been linked to lower grades and cyberbullying is a risk.
Tech 20 Session 2: There's More to a Wiki than Wikipedia
An anti-child abuse watchdog reversed its decision to blacklist the Wikipedia page showing the controversial 1976 album cover of Virgin Killer by the German band Scorpions. Most British internet providers had blocked the image due to it being ruled a potentially illegal indecent image. However, the image was accessible elsewhere online and some argued it was an artistic historical artifact that should not be censored. After significant controversy and publicity that led millions to view the image, the watchdog accepted that the ban had been counterproductive.

Web2.0 refers to a second generation of web development that facilitates communication, sharing, and collaboration online through tools like social media sites, wikis, blogs, and user-generated content. Key characteristics include user-generated content, open sharing of information, and continuous updates. Popular Web2.0 sites for social networking include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and blogs. These tools allow users to easily share content, comment on others' content, and connect with other users online.
Wiki powerpoint
This document discusses wikis and their use for online collaboration. Some key points:
- A wiki is a type of website that allows users to easily add, edit, and change content. Wikis are designed to be open and easy to correct mistakes.
- Wikis help develop writing and social skills through group work and consensus building. They also give everyone equal opportunity to contribute to knowledge.
- Wikis can be used as formats for subject guides, for teacher and student annotation and collaboration, and as meeting places for school communities. They are well-suited for class projects, webquests, and professional learning communities.
Content Liberation
Wikimedia is a non-profit organization that oversees projects like Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons is a central repository for freely-licensed images, videos, and sounds. Content liberation refers to when cultural institutions digitize works in their collections, publish them online under free licenses, and upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Some museums fear misuse of images if they release high-resolution digital copies, but collaborations between Wikimedia and cultural organizations called GLAM-WIKI encourage sharing content.

This document discusses using Wikipedia in education to teach life skills and digital literacies. It provides examples of Wikipedia editing assignments for students, such as comparing articles on the same topic, evaluating article references, and adding images. Students who have done such assignments reported that it improved their research skills and gave them a new appreciation for Wikipedia editors. The document also briefly explains Wikipedia's five pillars and that anyone can be a producer rather than just a consumer of information on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is a free, web-based, multilingual encyclopedia created through collaborative editing. It was founded in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and has grown rapidly, with over 15 million articles across hundreds of language editions. While open to public editing, several studies have found Wikipedia's accuracy compares favorably to traditional encyclopedias, with some professors including it in their course materials. Wikipedia has become a widely used reference source in academia, journalism, and politics due to its cultural influence and accessibility of information.

Why educational institutes challenge wikipedia
Educational institutions are skeptical of using Wikipedia as a credible source for student research and learning for three main reasons: 1) Wikipedia articles can be edited by anyone, including those with biases or personal agendas, so information may not be verified or factual; 2) Important topics may be overlooked while less significant topics are overly represented based on the interests of editors; and 3) Traditional sources like encyclopedias from Britannica are seen as more authoritative since their authors are vetted experts rather than anonymous online contributors.

Copy of Web Services - WIKI.pptx
A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively add, edit, and delete content. Wikis are powered by wiki software that allows users to write content using simplified markup or a rich text editor without needing HTML knowledge. Wiki content has no single owner and structure emerges according to user needs. The largest wiki is Wikipedia, but there are many other types of wikis on various topics. Wikis allow open collaboration but also require managing issues like vandalism, edit wars, and malware.
Wikepedia
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.
