Welcome to my page! I am Samuel Klein, wikipedian, linguaphile and, hoom, inclusionist. I am currently working on platforms for community-owned publishing of research and data. In the past I worked on a national digital library, at a "purpose of the Internet" research group, directed part of a global education project, and served as a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. Currently summarizing some cross-wiki thoughts + conversations about project + community design as design chats.
Currently working on matchmaking people with ideas. My writing background consists of a few journals and newsletters, doggerel on the back of exams, broadsheets on telephone poles, philosophical essays, and marked-up drafts of [others'] texts in red and blue. My academic background includes physics, mathematics, algorithms and language. In the Wikiverse: you can find me on the English Wikipedia, and occasionally on Wikibooks, Wiktionary (see also mod-wiktionary), the OLPC wiki, and previously on some smaller language wikis (Nahuatl, Swahili) or taking collab notes on Hypothesis XXX - synchrony across annotation systems for all sorts of knowledge (e.g., via hypothes.is and open annotation).

If you have ever looked at a talk page of English Wikipedia, you might have seen messages like "this is a C class article in WikiProject Nigeria", or "this is a stub class article in WikiProject Biography". These are quality assessments and every WikiProject, almost every WikiProject on English Wikipedia has these assessments. And so this link allows you to pick any Wi...")

It's very new. It's called '''[https://list-building.toolforge.org/ the List Building Tool]''' and it allows you to select a topic. Let's say, the lady we were demonstrating with last time, Tiwa Savage, remember her? I don't know anything about her. I just very randomly picked some popular singer. So I clicked this name of the page and I click "submit" and it runs a little query. And then it gives me 20 related articles, related ar...")

It's a very simple tool that offers you ''one'' unsourced piece of text at a time and asks you, does this look like something you could find a source for, and if you say "yes", it will take you to that page where you can edit and add the source, and if not, you can just click "nope, that doesn't sound interesting.

And one thing I haven't mentioned yet is that there is a source list specifically on African topics that a number of African editors have put together, and I helped a little.

And the answer is: if there are no reliable sources at all, you shouldn't write about it. Wikipedia should not have an article on it, or the paragraph that you wanted to add should not be included in the article. For example, if a pop star has a new girlfriend, and the the way we know that they have a new girlfriend, is that some gossip column reported it, that is not a reliable source. And...")

Can I cite that? Yes, yes I can. TV news on YouTube is news. Doesn't matter that it's on YouTube. YouTube in general -- YouTube is not a reliable source.

Can we cite that? The answer is no. We cannot cite sales figures from the artist himself or herself. The artist has an obvious interest in promotion, in inflating their sales figures. We definitely cannot trust sales figures reported by the artist. We need another source for sales figures: from shops, from surveys, from something else, but not the artist.

We already mentioned that the source has to ''directly address'' the topic, the thing we're talking about, and to be some kind of ''relevant authority'' on the topic: it needs to be a scholar or it needs to have some direct relevance. If we cite football statistics from the FIFA site -- FIFA is not a ''scholarly'' authority, but it is a ''relevant'' authority on football. Right? We need to look at the '...")

The Dao of Wiki * Quirks of int'l grantmaking
Resolved, that ... WMPH - why did these stop being shared on Meta? Cross-wiki links needed.
I am thinking of ways to
- improve key sites: Wikimedia website(Main, Fundraising, GFDL), http://www.wikimedia.org redirection page
- improve key meta pages: Goings-on(t), Meta:Babel(t, Interorg relations.)
- move meta-discussions to meta:, from en: and other subprojects.
- improve community:
- better multilingualism / translation across WM,
- nuanced interactions with new users, playful trolls, nascent vandals, non-editor readers; article validation
- meshed ideas, empirics, and [pre]conceived notions relating to community infrastruture, vision-building, interaction, insight and insanity, ...
- Old essays: Various Wikipedian essays, Wikipedia commentary
- Old ideas: Send this article to a friend, ...
- unify discussion: power structures within WM and across WP-instances (covering Ver ein/ Wreader and es: split issues as well as the mundane)
- help propose new projects: Wikifamily, Wikinews, Pa/Pr/Fu, Media, Prufing, Review...
- design a few feature improvements
- help people who reuse wikimedia content recognize the projects the content came from
- help others and future selves see what I see
- share test writing and wiki work
