Thanks Dror for the mention, I'm always too shy to post on mailing
lists what I do ;)
I'm one of the two authors of Manypedia so, if you have any suggestion
or criticism, I'll be more than happy to hear them!
I'll present Manypedia (as a demo/poster) at WikiSym2011 (3-5 October,
Mountain View, California) and I'm trying to get a paper about
Manypedia published so every feedback is really welcome!

The list of controversial articles is a good starting point if you
want to play with Manypedia ...
http://manypedia.com/#|en|List_of_controversial_articles|zh
otherwise check the "featured pages" (4 of them are loaded randomly
every time you reload Manypedia and you can find them on the top right
corner).
And also take into account that English is not the only language in
which translations occur, so that for example, if you speak Arabic and
Hebrew you can check, for example,
the comparison of the page "Gaza war" from Arabic Wikipedia and Hebrew
Wikipedia (translated into Arabic) at
http://manypedia.com/#|ar|%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D8%AC%D9%88%D9%85_%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89_%D9%82%D8%B7%D8%A7%D8%B9_%D8%BA%D8%B2%D8%A9%7Che
but this is just an example: every combination of two languages out of
56 languages currently supported by Wikipedia Translate API.

A better description of Manypedia can be found at
http://manypedia.com/about.html (but it's better styled if you click
on the "About/FAQ" link on top right corner.
I hope Manypedia can be a tool to have some addition al Critical Point
Of View in Wikipedia. Currently I "sell" Manypedia as a tool for
comparing Linguistic Points of View (LPOV) of Wikipedia communities ;)

I wait your feedback! Thanks!

P.

Hi all,

the whole issue looks quite interesting.


Imagining the Wikipedia community: What do Wikipedia authors mean when 
they write about their ?community??

Christian Pentzold
Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany

new media & society
13(5) 704?721



Abstract
This article examines the way Wikipedia authors write their ?community? 
into being.
Mobilizing concepts regarding the communicative constitution of 
communities, the
computer-mediated conversation between editors were investigated using 
Grounded
Theory procedures. The analysis yielded an empirically grounded theory 
of the users?
self-understanding of the Wikipedia community as ethos-action community. 
Hence, this
study contributes to research on online community-building as it shifts 
the focus from
structural criteria for communities to the discursive level of community 
formation.

Subject: <CPOV> New book "The Digital Potlatch"
Message-ID: <201109201731.14500.jfelipe@libresoft.es>

Hi CPOViewers.

I hope this message is not considered as blatant self-promo. I just think it 
could be of interest for some of you.

I've just published a new book about Wikipedia, with Joaqu?n Rodr?guez (vice-
dean of EOI, and PhD. in Social Anthropology). 

The title is "El Potlatch Digital: Wikipedia y el Triunfo del Procom?n y el 
Conocimiento Compartido", which translates (approx.) to: "The Digital 
Potlatch: Wikipedia and the Triumph of Commons and Shared Knowledge".

The book is an interesting exercise of mixing a sociological and qualitative 
perspective (from Joaqu?n) with an empirical and quantitative approach (my 
own) to further investigate the motivations driving the work of Wikipedia 
editors. The book borrows the well-known case (in Social Sciences) of the 
Native American "Potlatch" to illustrate the importance of meritocracy and 
effort recognition in the editorial process.

You can fin additional info in this post:

http://blog.felipeortega.net/?p=304&preview=true

Unfortunately, I know that many of you can't read Spanish. The book has been 
written in Spanish since we believed that it was necessary to balance the lack 
of books about Wikipedia in our native language. In any case, we'd be more 
than happy to find some help for an English version in the future :)

Feel free to send me any questions or comments (or help offers ;) ) about it.

Best,
Felipe

hi felipe - congratulations! i see on your blog that the book is just in
spanish for the time being. do you have any concrete plans to translate it?
alternatively, you might consider writing a summary essay of the book in
english. i'm sure many people are interested.

Subject: <CPOV> script for scripts
Message-ID: <B79ADB4F-90A7-42C8-836A-44CE51BC1485@gmail.com>

I was chatting to Stuart Geiger the other day about an idea that I have to build a script to format talk pages in a way that enables easier analysis for the ethnographic work that I'm doing. Stuart said that someone at the Amsterdam event did something similar along the lines of a dramatic script but I can't find it on quick read of the event program page. Basically I'd like to be able to extract talk between time stamps and display conversation in chronological order and then across the page as new conversations are started. 

If anyone has a link, please send it along?

Many thanks!

Best,
Heather.

Hey Heather,
I think Stuart was talking about this http://www.epicpedia.org/info.html 
We came across it in the conference at Amsterdam, where Florian 
introduced us to this MA project that his student Annemieke has been 
working on. Hope this helps you.

Not any concrete plan, but we both want to carry out this sooner or later, 
since we also acknowledge that there is a broad audience that reads English.

Yes, that's also planned. Unfortunately, this month has been crazy with all 
preparation for WikiSym. I'll let you know when I eventually publish it.
