Talk:Center for History and New Media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Tom Scheinfeldt. I am the assistant director of the Center for History and New Media. CHNM has copyright to the material previously posted in the article in question and is happy to have it reproduced there. I have posted a revised and expanded version of this text at Center for History and New Media/Temp

I have moved this text to the article page. It is released under the GFDL by the copyright holder. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 20:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Including material directly from CHNM is okay, given that copyright issues are worked out. However, much of the text here sounded a bit more like a sales pitch, and not in compliance with WP:NPOV. This happens when one writes about oneself, their organization, employer, etc. I've listened to Dan Cohen on the radio, so with what I now know about the center, I have started to copyedit the article, format the article, etc., to help bring the article into compliance with Wikipedia policies. Another Wikipedia policy yet to be addressed properly is citing sources. There is a specific way to format references, and this still needs to be done. I can come back later and work on it. -Aude (talk | contribs) 20:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Of all the (very interesting) projects listed in the article, which ones are most signficant and notable? why? While there are many interesting projects from the CHNM, I think it would be better not to list everything and maybe discuss some of the most key projects in some more depth. I'd immediately think of the September 11 Digital Archive, which appeals to the broader public, as does the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank. I also think of the digital preservation (this article needs work too) research and work at the CHNM. -Aude (talk | contribs) 20:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
