Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia for Diplomats (June 21)

[Alex Peek]

Thanks Everton, I will be sure to join the Webinar.

"How can diplomats contribute to improve Wikipedia articles to increase
their public diplomacy value?"

I am doing a Wikipedia project that is highly related to this issue that
attempts to standardize economic data on Wikipedia for every country and
city in the world. It's essentially the periodic table for economics. I
guarantee this will be a valuable resource in the future. Please check it
out: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Economic_Map

Here are draft articles I am working on for the top ten economies:

Countries ranked by 2011 GDP

Quite the contrary, I think you're very knowledgeable about the 
subject—but what does AffCom have to do with it? If you're going to talk 
about Wikipedia's role in disseminating information about diplomacy 
issues, then I think it should be simply 'Bence Damokos, Wikipedian'.

None taken and thanks for the suggestion. In this case, I believe the best
solution would have been to mention that I am the chair of AffCom, to make
it clear that this is a position I hold (like the director level officials
who will be the other participants) and not my qualification.

Best regards,
Bence

I will be representing myself as a Wikimedia volunteer, who happens to hold
a title related to AffCom and has a somewhat theoretical education of what
diplomacy is supposed to be.
I hope I am not totally unqualified to speak about the Wikipedia topics.

The webinar will be broadcast using Google Hangouts probably on the Diplo
Foundation's channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/DiploFoundation), but if
you register, you will get the link to the broadcast.

Best regards,
Bence

Is it just me who was surprised to see that Bence will be representing 
the Affiliations Committee during that webinar? I know for a fact that 
AffCom involves a lot of behind–the–scenes talks et al., but I don't 
think it's directly related to diplomacy issues?

interest of those participating of some recent threads I've seen here.
