On the one hand, I agree. On the other, if I had a starting band, the massive exposure of Wikipedia might be hard to resist. If we would want them to release their song under a free licence for the fundraiser, (and that's if. I want them, but that doesn't mean other people want them) asking them just puts us at risk of them saying thanks, but no thanks On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 8:30 PM, geni geni...@gmail.com wrote: On 1 October 2010 18:54, Martijn Hoekstra martijnhoeks...@gmail.com wrote: Can we have this in the fundraiser please?

With the lyrics being: Wikipedia, Wikipedia, has twisted my mind inside out and upside down. Wikipedia, Wikipedia, ain't work nothing but fun and laughter all around. Wikipedia, Wikipedia, I'm losing my way everyday tuned to the sound of Wikipedia, Wikipedia. I don't think it's a very effective song for fundraising, or promoting Wikipedia in general.

I agree, the song really has nothing to do with Wikipedia itself. They could of replaced Wikipedia with any internet website name and to me the song would have the same meaning. ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

[WikiEN-l] Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia

http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000941 These guys paid author's fees to get an article published in a peer-reviewed specialist journal that will net them no useful citation credits, just to make the Wikipedia articles on their science better. :-O This article is fantastic. It even gives strong reasons for experts to bother doing this. Is there an academic field this article doesn't apply to? - d. ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

That looks like the paper I read a preview copy of a few months ago at a wiki-meetup!
