[edit] University project

Re your message on the Wikipedia Help page, ala.....

I'm working on my final project for my Multimedia Reporting class at KU. It's over Wikipedia editing and how much it re-establishes the site's credibility. I'm looking for editors who would be interested in being interviewed for my story. I need both involved volunteer editors and hired staff. If interested, please message me back. My username is Luke J-School. "Luke J-School 15:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)"

Drop me a message! Oh, and PS: it better be an email interview with fixed questions - KU is 6hrs- from my time zone! Rgds, --Trident13 00:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I would probably be willing to be inteviewd, either by email or over the telephone if we agree on a time. I would wanmt a little more detail on what kind of infor you are looking for, and how it will be used. Drop a note on my talk page. DES (talk) 17:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article

Hey thanks for helping out. The article's almost done now, but I still have 2 questions that need answered:

  • What's the main purpose of editing Wikipedia instead of leaving it for someone else to fix? - ANSWER: I am sure its different for each, but personally a combination of: the pleasure of seeing something added to the project; the resultant learning of the world; leaving a signature/possible legacy. As you spend a bit longer here, you appreciate the personal effects on self education, and how different people see the world so much more differently.
  • Do you ever believe that Wikipedia will ever be considered credible enough to cite in a research paper? ANSWER: Yes - its already been cited in court, its only a matter of time before its cited in a heavy-weight reserch paper outside social interaction and the intrenet
