dear Angelika I would like to propose a paper for Wikipedia Academy. The paper is about "The Power of Wikipedia: Legitimacy and Territorial Control" (I also proposed the same topic for Wikimania 2012 http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Power_of_Wikipedia:_Legitimacy_and_Territorial_Control and i'm now preparing the full paper) and it address and question the geopolitical role of Wikipedia.
I was thinking of proposing the paper within "Economic and Regulatory Aspects of Free Knowledge/Different Modes of Governance: Emergence of Order and Coordination in Wikipedia" I would be really grateful if you can eventually suggest a different session if needed (maybe "Wikipedia Global/Differences between and critique of free/open knowledge ideologies"). thank you very much and best regards iolanda -- Fondazione lettera27 - http://www.lettera27.org Scientific director WikiAfrica/Share Your Knowledge Iolanda Pensa, Ph.D. - via Rabolini, 10 - 20125 Milano - Italia.
