The sum of all knowledge
editWhy create free knowledge?
editThe original promise of the internet
edit"The greatest potential given by Internet is the diversity possibility -- to confront knowledge, ideas and perspectives different from our own"[6]
Quality, verifiability, neutrality

Communities of knowledge
editRepresentation, knowledge gaps, systemic biases
edit- "Content, practices and understandings still seem American-centric to users"[171]
- "Without healthy and inclusive communities, content becomes irrelevant in the short term"[172]
- "If there is only one specific group, it doesn't meet the goal of being a broad-based source of knowledge and to report different world views and linguistic diversity."[173]
- "It is the way to ensure diversity of content approaches for all voices to be represented."[174]
Challenges of diversity
- "articles written by people with different backgrounds aren't cohesive and easy to comprehend"[175]
- "There will always be tension between quality and inclusiveness."[176]
- [177]
Narrow definition of knowledge
edit- "This is a global publication, but editors often become narrow in their focus"[178]
- "too much effort is spent on deleting content rather than improving or creating content"[179]
- "We have become increasingly viewed as gatekeepers, especially in the social and human domains"[180]
- "Less deletion battles"[181]
Personal and timely relevance; discovery
editPartnerships for integrating, developing, verifying content
editQuality and quantity of content
editThis leads to "more and better content"[183], notably by recruiting subject matter experts and increasing diversity
- [184]
- [185]
- [186]
- [187]
- [188]
- [189]
- [190]
- "closing the current knowledge gaps by including a truly diverse set of contributors"[191]
- Patience and understanding of knowledge that is unfamiliar to old-timers[192]
- [193]
- "only a means to an end for ultimately supporting improved content"[194]
- "If there is no community behind, improving and curating, the content loses value because it is obsolete or replaced."[195]
- "Biased information is incomplete, or even wrong. Without members of the community able to recognise bias, Wikipedia just becomes an echo chamber, at best ignoring and at worst actively damaging minority groups and ideas"[196]
- "We can only create a trusted source of knowledge if we are a good community"[197]
This enables us to do more, more quickly
- "cover many projects effectively and on time"[198]
- "a larger number of contributors allows for a larger amount working on specific topics"[199]
Necessary for the sum of all knowledge
- "Broaden people's thinking"[200]
- "Wikimedia projects are a direct reflection of its users and volunteers. […] If we want to keep to the mission of the project to accumulate all of humanity's knowledge then we need to reflect that in our communities. "[201]
- [202]
- [203]
- "the platform/database for the knowledge of all mankind"[204]
- "To be the most respected source of knowledge requires many other types of editors" [205]
- "You can't fix the data without including communities."[206]
Knowledge diversity; oral knowledge
- "Collecting different kinds of knowledge is one of our goals in the community"[207]
- "include peoples who predominantly have an oral tradition"[208]
- "We will include more sources of information that include different types of history (e.g., oral histories) in various cultures."[209]
Biases and neutrality
editDiversity, openness to points of views, awareness of bias
- "A community that is healthy can accept divergent points of view in a respectful, helpful way"[210]
- "Biases that exist in Wikipedia propagate outward, infecting the world in myriad small ways"[211]
- "We would be able to incorporate knowledge from various communities around the world into Wikimedia"[212]
- "The more inclusive Wikipedia is the more balanced and neutral the Wikis will get."[213]
- [214]
- [215]
- "It is necessary to raise the community's ability to deal with different opinions and ideas"[216]
- [217]
- "it will neutralize various biases"[218]
- [219]
- [220]
- [221]
- “see the world through others’ eyes”[222]
- "We don’t have homogeneity in a single monoculture, but instead "agree to disagree" with respect."[223]
- "the content will reflect differing points of view and be more neutral"[209]
- "without community we are an empty shell. With a deranged community, we could be […] a non-neutral encyclopedia that poses as neutral." [224]

- [232]
- "some knowledge won't stick, as they do not fit the general, dominant epistemological perspective that runs through the projects. This knowledge bias […] limits the contribution of the marginalized."[233]

Participation: Freely sharing in
editWhy radically open participation?
editCollaboration and the wiki spirit
edit- "An inclusion of communities, and therefore of individuals, will make community collaboration easier."[493]
- "if we have a strong community, we will have the human resources to do anything"[494]
- "it is the engine/heart of everything Wikipedia was and should be"[495]
- "It makes us unique, human-based, diverse and sustainable"[496]
- "It's the community aspect that strengthens the Wikimedia Movement, the set of contributors who build something together."[497]
- "key to the success of the others. In order to make the other advancements, you need the workforce to achieve it"[498]
- "only a functioning community can guarantee a future for Wikipedia. A precondition for this is not that we all 'love' each other. This is not possible. But it should work better. "[499]
- "only a functioning Wikipedia community can guarantee a future. […] the community should be more harmonious for the motivation of the authors."[500]
- "Safe, healthy communities lay the groundwork for all future work on Wikipedia; it is the gatekeeper and the enabler."[501]
- "the community is the critical success factor"[502]

- "without it, Wikipedia will stagnate"[504]
- "culture eats strategy for breakfast. without a healthy community, you will not be able to implement other goals"[505]
- "Credibility lies in exchanges and debates"[497]
Openness, inclusion and diversity
edit"one of the basic principles of wikipedia […] is the inclusion of communities"[506]
tempting to be less open"become less democratic"[507]
Distributed governance, equity
edit- "it provides the opportunity for the minority to share their knowledge"[508]
- "The marginalized communities that are most affected by some current policies and practices are the communities whose perspectives are most needed."[509]
- "people from the “global south” are not a problem to be resolved but people with valuable resources to share with the Wikimedia movement"[510]
Equity / efforts to support minorities
- "We should stop excluding the minority"[511]
- "the catalyzing of marginalized communities is done from a top down approach"[512]
Integration is more difficult for newcomers who are different from the majority of the current group
- "It is much easier to be included if you are a white man in a white-man environment, but if you are different it costs a lot"[513]
Ideals, values and wikimedian culture
editTransparency and openness, compared to private companies
- "Transparent and open knowledge accumulation"[514]
- "Transparent practices that show why decisions are made (and by who)"[515]
Representation
- "more representative of the global population"[516]
- "The writers of Wikipedia are more representative of the readers"[517]
Self-understanding, identity

Make the world a better place
"people always need to be part of a community, of a society - it brings them hope, future, ideas, aim"[525]
Impact beyond Wikimedia sites

- [527]
- "The community will be respected better"[528]
- [529]
- "coffee clubs changed England"[530]
- [531]
- [532]
- "a leader in global, collaborative environments"[533]
- "an authentic model"[534]
- paragon of inclusion, modeling effective inclusion in all aspects of our work[535]
- Reputation brings in more contributors[536]
Healthy discourse online
- "how to structure factual, polite discourse online at a global scale"[537]
- [538]
- "Decreasing the toxicity of the Internet"[539]
- "a cooperative approach to the web"[540]
- [541]
- "create the utopia that the internet was originally intended to be"[542]
- "Our wikis could be a light beacon"[543]
- [544]

- [548]
- "enable scientific discoveries on a global scale"[549]
- [550]
- "helping individuals forge genuine social connections"[551]
- [552]
- [553]
- If we follow this theme, it will directly reflect on our world, when people hear that there's no division in gender, socioeconomic status, physical abilities, etc in the Wikimedia projects, it'll be easier for them to imagine a world where that is true as well.[201]
- [554]
- "the movement has the potential to fulfill the utopian ideals many of us have for it"[555]
- [556]
- [220]
Fill gaps in social education
Growth; uniqueness
- [558]
- "so the volunteers will stay […] and help us grow"[559]
- "The added value that distinguishes Wikimedia from other platforms in this community"[560]
- "we can’t grow if there is no unity in the community"[561]
Why radically open participation? References to organize
edit- "we are a living example of democracy - everybody is allowed to be part of this and the only demand is 'Stick to the rules'"[562]
- [563]
- [564]
- "Developing awareness in societies around the world for the Wikimedia projects being a shared responsibility of all humankind"[565]
- [566]
- [567]
- [568]
- "People do not trust a source because it is accurate; they trust it because they see that they have a chance to fix errors"[569]
- [570]
Communities of participants
editVibrant, close-knit communities; support; safety
editLanguage barriers blur
It requires intentional action, focus; it's the real threat
- "Any threat to the community could jeopardize its projects"[571]
- "Enforcement of power by cultivating a bullying culture on productive editors equals to editor and contribution loss. […] community health is not self sustainable if not specially taken care of"[572]
- [573]
- "This theme has the power to make or break our movement "[574]
- "This theme is relevant today"[575]
- "we would need to focus"[576]
Hedgehog syndrome; isolationism; "health"
editRoot cause and barriers
- "It is also problematic that the community finds it easier to punish the newcomers than to deal with misbehaviors by experienced users. "[577]
- "As long as some "old guard", real or imagined, refuses to cooperate or engages in behavior characteristic of ownership, improvements will be stifled and lost, and editors will be turned away."[578]
- "Acknowledge openly that people who are skilled at finding and synthesizing information are not always skilled in social interactions, and vice versa."[579]
- [580]
- [581]
- [582]
Internal and external challenges that are preventing more people from contributing
editPartnerships for unhindered participation, hard-to-get knowledge, underserved communities
editA prerequisite / core to who we are
editHealthy communities are a prerequisite for any direction.
- "a necessary foundation for any of the other themes"[583]
- "Goals without a healthy community is empty rhetoric."[584]
- "Within an environment of disinformation, harassment, and exclusion, there's no progress."[585]
- This theme is essential and conditional for the impact of the other themes.[586]
- "all others depends on it"[587]
- "it would be hard to reach any of the other goals"[588]
- [190]
- "A toxic environment kills participation, making all the rest of the themes impossible to achieve."[589]
- "The underlying reason of growth of the Wikimedia movement is its thriving contributors community"[590]
- "Any tool is only as good as those who wield it; if the community is not healthy, Wikimedia will be poisoned from within."[591]
- [592]
This is a prerequisite
- [194] [593] [594] [595] [596] [597] [598] [599] [600] [199] [205] [498] [601] [602] [603] [604] [605] [606] [607] [608] [609] [610] [611] [503] [612] [613] [614] [496] [615] [206] [616] [617] [618] [501] [619] [505] [620]

- [688]
- "A good environment for newcomers is fundamental if we want to increase significantly the number of active wikipedians"[689]
- "We need to dedicate more time to people who sincerely want to contribute but may have some difficulties"[690]

- [221]
- [697]
- [698]
- [699]

Productive conflict, avoiding internal in-fighting
- "improve morale by avoiding internal politics and in-fighting between subsections of the community" [729]
- "maintain harmony in the community so that editor retention stops being an issue"[730]

- "Overfocussing on policy compliance"[735]
- "stop allowing wikilawyering to be used as a shield for protecting biased attitudes"[736]

- "The renunciation of existing and cumbersome procedures"[738]
- "Reconsider the secondary sources dogma in order to make room for non-secondary sources"[739]
- "Reducing the the complexity concerning legal and financial processes around grant making or the usage of Wikimedia trademarks would decrease the overhead costs on the side of the WMF, save volunteer time and decrease the hurdle for many volunteers to get involved in first place. We are an online movement and should be careful not to loose the power and strengths that come with that by overinstitutionalizing things in a way the offline world works."[740]
- Policies and norms adapted to culture and local context[741]
Focus more on languages that are not English
editDissent and concerns
edit[community health] Avoid community pressure and allow for individual expression and motivation
- "an explicit threat to individualism"[748]
- Our sites will become a social network among others[749]
[community health] There is no deadline, therefore decline in contribution is not an issue.
"We do need to be inclusive" but "This theme does not explain how to get new users"[751] This is included in other themes

Infrastructure for participation
editLocal opportunities and presence everywhere; paths to participation (beyond editing)
edit[community health] Way of life; normalization
- "Creating a world population that is accustomed to contributing."[979]
- "Contribut[ing] to free knowledge is something you do naturally, because it is a natural part of how you learn things"[980]
- "get people involved at an earlier age"[981]
More frequent offline communication
- "Expand participation in events to the maximum number of contributors"[747]
- "start socializing offline more"[982]
Decentralization
editDecentralization
Spreading across more continents
- "Wikimedia movement will spread across the continents such as Africa, Middle East, South Asia and Latin America"[986]
- [676]
- [532]
- [987]
"the sustainable and inclusive community would result in a better and more effective affiliates ecosystem"[590]
Structures and governance
edit- "The important question instead is the power structure of WMF. Even communities that work reasonably well don't have any influence on what the WMF is doing."[988]
Infrastructure and tools for participation (UX, AI)
edit- "technological solutions will not solve social conflict"[627]
- "the human factor is always more relevant than technology or processes"[632]
Focus on human interaction / less automation
- [990]
- Template-based communication doesn't work[991]
- "data mining techniques to identify and report personal attacks"[992]
- "wary of the "progress" brought by computers and automation"[993]
Identifying/addressing personal attacks is difficult
Real names
Low barrier to participation in infrastructure; experiments and pilots
editHow
edit- "Thematic WikiProject could attract more people to contributing"[998]
- "make the contributors feel very clearly that their contribution is appreciated"[999]
- "give special attention to accessibility of Wikipedia"[1000]
- [1001]
- "yearly overview of main language editions and readiness from the global community to involve itself into local activities"[1002]
- "Offline legislation will have caught up with online activity and will no longer focus on what's legal, but also on what behavior encourages productivity"[1003]
- technology increases efficiency and frees up time for thoughtful interactions with newcomers[1004]
- "find better ways to communicate, like facebook, what’s app"[1005]
Research
- "Wikipedia community is aging, therefore we should perform more studies to understand better why young people do not join"[1006]
- "The most important issue is to find and answer why the number of editors is not growing"[1007]
- "we have limited knowledge about real trends in retention"[1008]
It is difficult for the Wikimedia Foundation to influence community health.
- [583]
- [623]
- concern that the Foundation will "call dibs" and others won't have an opportunity to influence this[621]
"Wikimedia Foundation and chapters should be more integrated with the community of editors", notably in their outreach and recruiting activities
- "Wikimedia Foundation and chapters should be more integrated with the community of editors."[1009]
- Better decisions and collaboration[1010]
Outreach projects favor quantity over quality.
Impact on other goals

One major effect would be use in schools which is currently intentionally prohibited.

It is very easy to add science articles to wikipedia, even those with little more than speculative research. It has become increasingly hard to add socially relevant entries to Wikipedia (as if we live in an era of scarcity where to store bits and bytes). Criteria such as notability have been interpreted by humans, rather than by algorithms. I.e. xyz might have lots of search engine searches associated with their name, yet are not take in because of a human induced notability factor. Why? Its not like we are running out of encyclopedia shelf space or we a running out of byte space?! We should reconsider this whole approach. I am very afraid that communities will only serve as more gate-keeping. And creating an artificial scarcity effect. The difference between a small contributor to humankind (say Tatjana Bezjak) and a huge contributor to human kind (say Pablo Picaso) should be in the body and quality of the text explaining their significance and contributions - and not in the fact whether they deserve or not a wikipedia entry (byte counting).

Lsjbo is just transforming data, placing it on the right spot; I would not dfine that intelligence. Yet the dangers by bot owners are not to be underestimated, although responisble for these are the humans running the bots. Additionally Wikipedians are becoming redundant by those. This progress is hard to stop as shown in the recent article Generation R. But thinking about it critically: do we need values for generating knowledge and article improvement or are they even disruptive in regard to accuracy and neutrality? So which role plays artificial intelligence in the Wikipedia? As humans it is our responsibility and nature to search for answers and to preserve nature. For this it is necessary to know about it. A bot writing articles about places, astronomical objects and animals is helping us more to learn about our environment than, helping us to better interact with it. If we really want to know "what holds the world or the universe together at its core" ... this is our only chance, apart from its utopian character. Hawking said that that we have to leave this planet within the next 100 years. This process would be hard to imagine withought artificial intelligence. But sociral issues are different in nature. And it will take a while until bots will be able to create complex articles. Another focus will be on the use of the computational complexity theory and the computability theory, for instance for the determinational of potential articles. Another critical point are the assistance systems, that demand less and less of the reader or control less what he knowns and vice versa. That is why we should continue not to rely on these answers, but should study the subject further. By this schematic structure the encyclopedic understanding as such can get lost, naturally leading to the question whether the Wiki as we know it will be still accepable if a bot can provide answers to questions directly. This all will have an impact on every day life and research. I cannot imagine that his complex will have an impact on education." German Language Wikipedia §31

Take a daylight picture of city A and a nighttime picture of city B, total both up and you've got city A at nighttime.

This suggests that a project must focus on machine translation that develops some form of comprehension of the subjects, potentially supported by Wikimedia content beyond the encyclopedia.; Of course, there is an inherent fear of bias creeping into a machine translation, perhaps due to something as simple as lexical ambiguity, or more worrying, such as actively or unknowingly fed "belief" - where the machine translation converts a neutral statement into a supportive or opposing variant, thus running counter to the nature of an encyclopedia.

Other sources like official outlets of information --e.g. national or supranational organisations in charge of regulatory policies-- will also resent a freer, more inclusive and independent knowledge aggregator on controversial issues, which might include climate tendencies, historical revisionism, social and religious understanding, investigative journalism, etc. ; Nevertheless, attaining such a status implies not only clear policies on contents aggregation but also fair use and distribuition of such contents. Therefore, there is an intrinsic issue to solve if we are to follow. ; The most critical of those challenges faced to become trusted, is the divide between theory and practise. Take Wikipedia, for instance, where despite current efforts, the freedom to contribute is often met with a rigid paradigm which includes counterproductive practices (e.g. edit wars). Should the word 'free' need some restrictions derived from expectable behaviour? Should referencing tools not be treated as a priority given how dependent on verification the project is?

The text chunks are bordering illegibility. The whole project is designed in a way that finally only a few bureaucrats will be interested in the result, because most real Wikipedians who want to write articles won't be interested into digging through this mass of unpleasant clutter. The WMF is proving once again that all attempts at involving communities are just a fig leaf. The message is that they don't want to be disturbed by editors.

Only that way we can distill one voice from thousands of voices." German Language Wikipedia §5
- ↑ "We do not need one voice in WMF and de.wp. At the moment WMF completely finds itself in limbo. It does not have any legitimation in the communities and elsewhere. It would be a giant step if this could be recognized as a problem even once." German Language Wikipedia §6

This is common in many organizations. But that WMF fears that like the devil fears holy water I can understand." German Language Wikipedia §7
- ↑ "We could be asked which computers WMF will buy or who to hire. But a membership organization causes problems as we can see with Wikimedia Deutschland. A solution could be to have communities as members, meaning that each community has 1 voice. But this would not work without a corresponding structure (election programms, elections)." German Language Wikipedia §8
- ↑ "As long as this problem is not seen we don't need to discuss further. The WMF is happy that it can do whatever it wants, although it does not produce anything by itself. For that it needs the free and self-driven work of the communities. Since it is proven that the communities are not able or don't want to transform this dependance into threat and pressure potential, WMF is acting just according to its own interests and does not care to a large extent if people care about that or not. You can see this in the strategy process. Although many contributors voiced a legitimacy and democracy deficit, that was not inlcuded into the allegedly participatory strategy process."
