[WikiEN-l] Wikimania discussions

Wed Jun 28 04:15:31 UTC 2006

The Wikimania meetup from August 4-6th (http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org) 
will draw people from all of the Wikimedia projects. It's a chance to meet your 
fellow contributors and discuss issues affecting the projects:

* Fair use: should we eradicate fair use, or encourage the fair use of 
copyrighted images?

* Voting: impractical and harmful, or a necessity for some discussions?

* Verifiablity: requiring sources for all new information, or
supporting the contribution of first hand information?

* Dealing with trolls: do we ban pov pushers, or encourage their voices
to be heard?

* Dealing with vandals: delaying edits from suspicious users, or finally 
inventing the device that allows you to poke people over the internet?

* Content: death to fancruft, or expanding the scope of Wikipedia to cover all 
human knowledge?

* Arbitration: the best thing since sliced bread, or a merely adequate online 
alternative to a dunk tank?

Register today at wm06reg.wikimedia.org -- only $70 until July 9th for 3 days 
of in-depth community discussion, presentations, autographs from and to Jimbo, 
and fun.
