Abstract
While it is clear that Wikipedia wishes to attract academics and experts in addition to general editors, there are a variety of obstacles for mainstream scholars when they consider engaging in the project, publicly. Mentoring a class in WP editing can be frowned upon, and may be daunting for faculty with limited experience and time. Even for motivated faculty editors with substantial publishing experience, it is difficult to navigate unfamiliar waters of WP where authority does not rest with the individual, reliability is based on unfamiliar rules, content ownership is anathema, and personal reputation can be threatened. To help academic editors realize the intellectual and personal rewards of editing WP, a place for them to get started would help. Some of the conditions of such an environment will be suggested.
Length of presentation
