Revision as of 13:03, 22 July 2015
As part of the Bodleian Libraries' Wikimedian In Residence project, Martin Poulter is giving a 25-minute session for the Oxford Libraries' staff conference on Tuesday 21th July. The title is “Adventures in a wiki world: harnessing pedantry for peaceful ends”. 33 people have registered in advance for the session.
Abstract
I don’t like it when someone is wrong on the Internet. I don’t like it when concepts are identified by keywords rather than an identifier from an authority file. Yet I still have friends. This is because my pedantry has an outlet which serves the public benefit.
Wikipedia and its sister sites let me share personal and professional enthusiasms. They let me work with others around the world, and with library resources, to build useful things. This session is a summary of recent adventures with an invitation to adventures of your own.
