Title:

How can Africa and North America partner to promote the goals of the Foundation

Theme:

Legal / Advocacy / Risks, Technology

Type of session:

Lightning talk

Abstract:

This study will examine the evolution and history of Wikipedia pages surrounding the Russian and Ukrainian Conflict.

Specifically historical pages around partisan Ukrainian units during world war II, and the use of symbolism of hero or villain, will be analyzed.

Edits and growth in wikipedia pages will be compared to other efforts to shape the information space such as h-count manipulation in scholarly journals, funding of media programs.

The paper will conclude with a history of Wikipedia Governance steps to help mitigate the risk of state based manipulation in the future.
