How and Why Wikipedia Works

Posted by Angela Beesley on July 8, 2006 (Wiki, Wikipedia)

Dirk Riehle has published an interview on How and Why Wikipedia Works which he recently conducted with Elisabeth Bauer (Elian), Kizu Naoko (Aphaia) and me. The interview presents perspectives from the English, German, and Japanese Wikipedias and is part of the proceedings of the 2006 International Symposium on Wikis (WikiSym ‘06), where I’ll be giving a keynote talk on the same topic. Registration is still open for WikiSym, which is taking place in Denmark from August 21-23.

Update: the interview is on Slashdot!
