> > > Verifiability can be very different. For example oral sources
very agree, the intangible sources are a really challenge to way you look at verifiability. Not only are wanting to gather the information and make it possible for others to also access it the very nature of the sources is dynamic and fragile bringing them into a tangible format risks the continuation of knowledge gained, a kin to exposing an ancient paper source to intense UV light. There is a lot of fantastic work going on around the world on how to "Europeanise" knowledge without destroying it . All of this gets more complex when you learn that knowledge isnt just a few words its part of a multidimensional connection to and in time, place, and circumstances by bringing it into a one dimensional world like Wikipedia is in it self changing the very nature of the knowledge. If our goal is to collect the sum of all knowledge then we need to be free as communities to address the uniqueness of the knowledge we seek within the bounds of culture(language) from which it originates > On 9 August 2017 at 04:12, Jean-Philippe Béland <jpbel...@wikimedia.ca> wrote: > Verifiability can be very different.
