Dear friend,
We are conducting a study on the motivation of the knowledge sharing
on Wikipedia.

The contributors' experience to Wikipedia is very important to the
design and management of this knowledge platform.

Would you please post the following on-line questionnaire message to
Wikipedia or forward the message to the members?

After the survey is done, we will randomly select twenty persons and
present them with USB 2GB Flash Drives.

Besides, with each valid questionnaire, we will donate US $1 dollar to
the Wikimedia Foundation.

The result of this survey is analyzed in an anonymous way and is only
regarded as the academic use.

Please help us to complete the data collection.

Thanks so much for your help.



Cheers,



Joanne

 I feel like this has come up before, but I can't find anything --

 Does anyone have recommendations for good video/movie tutorials on how
 to edit Wikipedia (or MediaWiki)? A colleague is looking to make some
 to augment a class about Wikipedia -- no need to reinvent the wheel if
 good ones already exist.

 There are a few listed here:

 If you know of others, feel free to add them.

Re: [WikiEN-l] Suggestion on how referencing system could be improved

[Thomas Larsen]

Hi,

On 12/5/08, Matthew Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 The problem with the prior methods of doing references was that they
 associated references with footnote numbers only by order of use in
 the text, which meant that any moving things around broke the system.
 A system which used named reference IDs in some form would be more
 robust.
[/snip]

I'm assuming that you mean that the old form of references used a
syntax similar to {{note|1}}--I think I joined Wikipedia when the old
reference form was phasing out (October 2006), although I've never
really been _heavily_ involved in writing articles. If that's the
case, then my syntax would correct this problem that you, Matthew,
mention: instead of being identified only by a number, references
would be identified by a unique textual ID.

Cheers,
