Is Wikipedia a Credible Source?
Is Wikipedia a Credible Source?
It's the go-to website for information on just about anything. But is the info on Wikipedia worth it's weight in megabytes? Trace has the answer and tells us about a new plan to up the accuracy of some of its most popular pages. Read More: UCSF First U.S. Medical School to Offer Credit For Wikipedia Articles http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2013/09/109201/ucsf-first-us-medical-school-offer-credit-wikipedia-articles "UC San Francisco soon will be the first U.S. medical school at which medical students can earn academic credit for editing medical content on Wikipedia." Medical Students Can Now Earn Credit for Editing Wikipedia http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/medical-students-can-now-earn-credit-for-editing-wikipedia "Starting this winter, medical students at the University of California San Francisco will be able to obtain academic credit from an unlikely source: Wikipedia." Using Wikipedia http://digitalliteracy.cornell.edu/tutorial/dpl3222.html "As a tool for scholarly research, Wikipedia can be either a grade-killer or a valuable friend, depending on who you ask and what you hope to accomplish using it. What is fairly certain is that your professor won't let you cite it in a scholarly research paper." Citing Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#Citing_Wikipedia Most university lecturers discourage students from citing any encyclopedia in academic work, preferring primary sources; some specifically prohibit Wikipedia citations. Wales stresses that encyclopedias of any type are not usually appropriate to use as citeable sources, and should not be relied upon as authoritative." Special Report Internet encyclopaedias go head to head http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7070/full/438900a.html "Jimmy Wales' Wikipedia comes close to Britannica in terms of the accuracy of its science entries, a Nature investigation finds." Britannica attacks... and we respond. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v440/n7084/pdf/440582b.pdf Watch More: Are We All Internet Addicts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtA-AmrbX4Q Scientists Vs Internet Trolls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWi8T4Gqyy4 7 NEW Wonders Of the World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeIQI7jdM2k&list;=PLS0CO0PT_kEJ7V1WlDeHdpXpgjQsq7zJI&index;=4 ____________________ DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories & perspectives you won't find anywhere else!

New Wikipedia sized proof explained with a puzzle
A new mathematical proof was in the news this week, which partially solves the Erdos Discrepancy Problem. The proof was described as "bigger than Wikipedia". I attempt to explain the problem using a puzzle which you can try at home. The puzzle was my idea to explain it to you - that's not really how the problem is stated.

The State of Wikipedia
The State of Wikipedia not only explores the rich history and inner-workings of the web-based encyclopedia, but it's also a celebration of its 10th anniversary. With more than 17 million articles in over 270 languages, Wikipedia has undoubtedly become one of the most visited and relied upon sites on the web today.
The fourth video in our the "State of" series, JESS3 is proud to release The State of Wikipedia as our first video of 2011. And, as if it weren't good enough, the video features none other than one of the co-founders himself, Jimmy Wales, as the narrator.

Message from Jimmy Wales
Vor ein paar Wochen kam ein Wikipedianer mit einer wirklich großartigen und wirklich verrückten Idee auf mich zu. Sie lautete, dass wir versuchen sollten, Wikipedia als Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO anerkennen zu lassen. Als ich die Idee zum ersten Mal hörte, dachte ich nur “Aber ist das überhaupt sinnvoll?” Daraufhin schaute ich mir die Kriterien an, die für das Kulturerbe gelten und Wikipedia erfüllt diese bestens.
Viele Menschen sehen Wikipedia als technisches Phänomen oder eine technische Errungenschaft, dabei ist es tatsächlich etwas anderes. Wikipedia bedeutet Kulturwandel, es ist eine kulturelle Errungenschaft.
Deswegen versuchen wir nun Folgendes: wir haben eine Petition aufgesetzt und möchten so viele Leute wie möglich dazu bewegen, diese zu unterzeichnen. Dann schicken wir sie an die UNESCO und versuchen diese davon zu überzeugen, dass es sich um eine wirklich großartige Idee handelt, die von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt unterstützt wird. Diese Menschen beteiligen sich außerdem an der Kampagne, überall auf der Welt und in allen möglichen Sprachen.
Abgesehen vom Unterzeichnen der Petition können Sie jedoch noch mehr tun. Wenn Sie das hier teilen, indem Sie eine e-Mail mit dem Link an Ihre Freunde schicken. Sind Sie auf Twitter, dann twittern Sie es. Sind Sie auf Facebook, dann posten Sie es dort. Wenn Sie ein Blog haben, dann bloggen Sie hierüber. All die Orte, an denen Sie sich online aufhalten: wenn Sie uns dabei helfen, es weiterzusagen und dabei so viele Menschen wie möglich zu erreichen, dann denke ich, dass wir es schaffen können.
Es ist wie im Fall von Wikipedia selbst: je mehr Leute sich daran beteiligen, desto größer ist die Chance, dass wir unser Ziel auch erreichen.
Bitte unterzeichnen Sie die Petition. http://wikipedia.de
A few weeks ago a Wikipedian came to me with a really great and really crazy idea and that was for us to try to get Wikipedia recognized as one of UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage Sites. When I first heard the idea I thought “But does that even make sense?” And I went and I looked at the criteria for what it takes to be one of these sites and Wikipedia really fits it.
A lot of people think of Wikipedia as a technological phenomenon or a technical achievement but in fact it isn’t. What Wikipedia is is a cultural change, a cultural achievement.
So what we’re trying to do now is: we got a petition going, we’re going to try to get as many people to sign it as possible, we’re going to send it to UNESCO and try to convince them that this is a really great idea that’s supported by all the people of the world. And people are getting involved in the campaign, everywhere in the world, across many many different languages.
But I want you to do more than just sign the petition. If you can share this with your friends, send an email to people with this link. If you are on Twitter, put it on Twitter. If you are on Facebook, put it on Facebook. If you have a blog, blog about it. All the places where you are online: if you can help us just spread the message and get as many people as possible, I think it’s gonna happen.
Just like Wikipedia itself: the more people will get involved, the greater chance that we’ll achieve our goal.
Please, sign the petition.

Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary
http://www.deanmcnamee.com/wikipedia-anniversary
Installation for Wikipedia's official 10th anniversary party. Held at the Louise T Blouin Foundation in West London, the attendance included Jimmy Wales, Richard Dawkins, Peter Gabriel, and Cory Doctorow.
The installation leveraged the space to express the continuous volume of Wikipedia's activity, as users around the world created and contributed to articles. A series of 18 printers suspended over the entrance lobby printed a physical record of individual contributions, along with an excerpt summarizing the article edited. This highlighted the devoted community, along with sharing a piece of Wikipedia's collective knowledge.
Created by Dean McNamee and Tim Burrell-Saward.
