Title:

Main Page

Type of session:

Round Table

Session theme(s):

Community Engagement, Open Data, Partnerships, Reliable Sources, Technology, Wild Ideas

Abstract:

Many vibrant Wikiprojects center around digital art, literature, games, humanities, etc. We often have the same issues of notability and obsolesence that are not covered well within the more traditional confines. Often, these fields have references from wordpresses or blogs and notable contributions are not cited in traditionally notable sources. Seminal and important works can become obsolete quickly so that many modern readers can not explore them. Yet information about these digital antecedents is vital to Wikipedia. Let's get together and brainstorm ways we can cross over and help each other develop databases, notable source rules, etc. to ensure that notable and important concepts, works, actors, etc. in the digital arts and humanities are included in Wikipedia.

Issues include:

  • Automatic denial of sources from Huggle and other bots
  • Notability and databases are different from traditional venues
