Will this move (inviting gamers to contribute to Wikipedia in gamified

Hello,
I don't know if someone mentioned this already but perhaps the issue can be
examined in terms of needs and how these are satisfied (kind of like the
requirements used in interaction design).
Gamers play games to satisfy certain needs. How many of these would be

I think there's a gap between the OP's question about recruiting gamers
(including console, LAN, FPS, MMORPG, and mobile gamers) and the range of
ideas offered about []gamification[] of WP editing.
But I think it could be useful to return to the initial question, and think

Hi Quim and Sarah,

could do to recruit people who play video games on various platforms and in
various types of games (casual, FPS, MMPORG, and so on) so that they convert
the time they currently use for gaming into
From a gaming perspective, WikiCup is kind of good. It works well in terms
of setting goals and targetting specific topics. It also generally
requires reading guidelines to maximize success.

Personnally, I'm a gamer and I use to edit wikimedia projects.
I think it may be interesting if we create a game around some wikimedia
projects.
Another option may be to let people learn about the open-source-idea and
what that could do with the world. I think this idea could stimulate a lot

I think there might be some resistance within the WP community to encouraging

There is resistance to including material with no published reliable
source. They can also edit Wikia which is to a certain extent devoted to
gaming.
