"showing that a scientific award can be debated and awarded on a wiki"

Note that recipients of awards like the ACL Lifetime Achievement Award are already debated and chosen on a wiki. However, the Wiki used for this is closed to the general public. Gdm3000 (talk) 20:42, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

very interesting indeed! Thanks --Rémi Bachelet (talk) 04:43, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

"...most influential research paper on Wikimedia projects and free knowledge projects in general."

Do non-Wikimedia papers have a chance, if they "only" relate to wikis in general? The paper submissions show a (not surprising ;-) ) bias towards Wikimedia... -- Warfair (talk) 08:35, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

They do! As do "non-wiki open knowledge" --Rémi Bachelet (talk) 09:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Awesome. Thanks for this info. :) -- Warfair (talk) 14:13, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations to all nominated papers! I like the selection too. Just one remark: All five papers are directly related to Wikipedia. Maybe its just pure coincidence but there is a strong bias towards Wikipedia. Though its ok because we are in a Wikipedia context, maybe next time you should directly only Wikipedia related papers. Anyway, again congrats for the nice selection. --Warfair (talk) 10:25, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for you continued interest Warfair, we had a meeting yesterday, and are checking the timeline, so that the fundraising sitenotice does not interfere with ours --Ofol (talk) 12:24, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Actually, this looks quite challenging, as christmas is approaching... anyway, all the best and good luck. It is interesting to see, which papers are important to the Jury. :) -- Warfair (talk) 22:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

cannot tell you which of course, but I'm very happy with the top 5 selection :) --41.225.66.103 23:02, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
