The Great Wiki Raid of ‘05
October 30th, 2005This should be fun to watch. An organized “assault” on a specific Wikipedia entry. From the press release:
“The Great Wiki Raid of ’05 begins at 12:01 A.M. 31 October. For 24 hours futurists from around the world will mount a “knowledge assault” on Wikipedia.org, the world’s largest collaborative online encyclopedia. Their goal is simple: to improve public knowledge about the field of futures studies.
“The World Futures Studies Federation is the organizing force behind The Great Wiki Raid. WFSF “raiders” will endeavor to add as much information as they can, in multiple languages, regarding the topic “futures studies” over the course of one day. Choosing Wikipedia as their “target” acknowledges the dramatic way in which digital technology is transforming knowledge creation and distribution.”
