After almost ten years as a Wikimedian, during late 2016 early 2017 I spent several months as a Quoran, answering lots of questions including many about Wikimedia and Wikipedia, asking a few questions myself and doing a lot of gnomic stuff. This is a lecture about some differences, some similarities and maybe some lessons for one site or the other.
Quora is a question and answer site in English and I think Spanish. It doesn't use mediawiki, I think it has its own bespoke systems.
- What will attendees take away from this session?
Hopefully an insight into Wikimedia projects from looking at a website that is both very different and yet has parallels. Perhaps even some lessons of things done differently that are better or that have their own problems.
A summary of some of the common questions asked there about editing Wikipedia.
- Theme of presentation
- WikiCulture & Community
- For workshops and discussions, what level is the intended audience? Audience members need experience of either editing on a Wikimedia site or Quora, to qualify as a heckler you will need experience of both.
- Length of session (if other than 25 minutes, specify how long)
- 25 minutes
- Will you attend Wikimania if your submission is not accepted?
