In episode 23, we cover: 1. the opening keynote presentation given by Anthere and introduced by Jimmy Wales; 2. the Wikimedia Foundation press conference; 3. "Where have the content creators gone?" by Seth Anthony, "The conscientious copyfighter" by Kat Walsh, and other opening sessions; 4. the conference schwag. In addition, we're introducing a new "vox populi" segment, in which we give Wikimania attendees a chance to participate in the release of each morning episode. This episode, we ask them about themselves, their experiences with Wikipedia, and how they became involved with the project. We'll try to have another episode up tonight, with still more news on the conference. Until then, enjoy episode 23!

Enjoy News *Jimbo's letter to New Yorker published I am writing to apologize to "The New Yorker" and Stacy Schiff, and to give some follow-up concerning Ryan Jordan (Editors' Note, March 5). When I last spoke to "The New Yorker" about the fact that a prominent Wikipedia community member had lied about his credentials, I misjudged the issue. It was not O.K. for Mr. Jordan, or Essjay, to lie to a reporter, even to protect his identity. I later learned more about the deceptions involved and asked Mr. Jordan to resign from his positions of responsibility at Wikipedia. He has since resigned from his position at Wikia as well. Mr. Jordan is a wonderful and thoughtful young man who made a series of very bad judgments. I consider him a friend, and I hope that the world will allow to move forward in peace and dignity to regain his honor through a life well lived. Wikipedia is built on trust and love. Our trust has been broken, and only love can rebuild it. The community has begun discussing a proposal of mine that we adopt some verification measures for claimed credentials, so that Wikipedia may further improve from this painful experience. * Hiring of Bastique, Cary Bass * Web 3.0 article gets attention * Alex Beam's column in the Boston Globe "My sticky Wiki" - Calls citizendium "Wikipedia with adult supervision" Wikimania * "Wikimania Lounge" ideas, Wikipedia Weekly hopes to go to Taiwan Michael Eisner's New company "Vuguru" - live article-creation Wiki Industry * Gaming Wikia and other sites launched - Interview with Angela Beesley * Danny Hillis Freebase * Citizendium update, response to criticisms The World According to Wikipedia * More 300 (film) popularity * 18.

MILESTONES -- Wikipedia has now reached 1.5 million articles Celebrated on the main page with the banner: "The English language Wikipedia thanks its contributors for creating over 1,500,000 articles!" German has reached 500,000 articles French has 400,000 articles. Article number 1.5M is Kanab Ambersnail. Commentary: Jimbo implored the community to work on quality, rather than quantity. Since then Wikipedians have gone on to add over a hundred thousand more articles. Meanwhile, research by Greg Maxwell identified that there are nearly 300,000 unsourced articles on Wikipedia -- and that's a lower bound. Is the English Wikipedia really concentrating on improving quality? (Kelly) CITIZENDIUM -- CZ is "chugging along", has reached 300 users, and has implemented WikiProject-like "Discipline Workgroups". I gave CZ a bit of a rundown if anyone needs some more information on the site. From the Signpost DANNY'S CONTEST -- Military history dominates writing contest. The winning entry was Crawford expedition, which went from this paragraph to a full-sized and excellent article. WIKIBOOK - Pearson to publish business wikibook The Wall Street Journal reports that Pearson PLC is partnering with University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and MIT's Sloan School to create a business book that will be authored and edited using wiki processes by an online community committed to the project. Wikipedia is mentioned as "inspiring" the effort. [1] "The wiki book, produced by a community of business experts and managers, will be called "We Are Smarter Than Me." It will explore how businesses can use online communities, consumer-generated media such as blogs, and other Web content to help in their marketing, pricing, research and service." Will it work? (and why are they using such an awful wiki engine?) Remember the Esquire article? Wikipedia:Improve this article about Wikipedia (and the better Wired article) STANDARDIZE WARNINGS From News and notes Upcoming change to user page warnings by WikiProject User Warnings, aiming to standardise user warnings in order to improve their ease of use: "These messages are, for a lot of editors, their first actual interaction with the Wikipedia community. There are currently just short of 300 user templates, ranging from the ubiquitous test messages to messages about behaviour and format suggestions. Technical and wording changes will bring this number down to roughly 100, although redirects will ensure that old templates still work." WIKIMARKUP "It was a pleasure meeting you at the Wikimania in Boston and I just enjoyed listening to your last podcast and I heard mention of a "universal wiki syntax". I'm not sure if you are aware of my research work at Heilbronn University. We are working on WikiCreole (www.wikicreole.org), a wiki markup not to replace existing wiki markup, but as an additional way for new visitors to edit a wiki without having to learn that wiki engine's "native" markup. Do you know if on your last program they were speaking of WikiCreole or another project?" Wikicreole Wiki markup syntax standards, should we have more than Brion?
