User:Suomi Finland 2009/Wikipedia Improvement Conference 2010
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia is a good project. There is an information exchange. If someone does not know anything about Turku, Finland or Mayor Beth Johnson, one can read about it on Wikipedia. However, Wikipedia has problems and is not perfect. It is unrealistic to think that all of the problems can be solved in one setting. However, this is an attempt to discuss a subset of problems.
The theme of this conference is civility.
The conference is to take place between 29 May 2010 and 5 June 2010 but late comments are accepted.
The problems to be addressed in this conference is:
- How to improve the incivility problem? Jimbo Wales noted in a newspaper editorial that incivility is an internet-wide problem.
- How to reduce drama in Wikipedia?
The forum of this conference is that all comments are to be addressed to the conference. Editors are to maintain the highest level of civility. Their comments should not address other editors but may comment on other editors' comments. Comments can be made before the start of the conference.
