connectivism page deleted/censored from Wikipedia
pretty sad story and typical of the way the Wikipedia hierarchy operates through power over knowledge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Connectivism -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Commons Strategies Group, http://www.commonsstrategies.org/
I don't understand. The article itself is not identified as being considered for deletion. It is at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectivism>. The discussion is certainly energetic. That is not unusual on a Talk page. If you look at the history of edits <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Connectivism&action=history>, you'll see that most of the reversions are based on failure to honor Wikipedia guidelines. These might be used to exercise inappropriate power, but it seems better for contributors to address the technical objections (not the positional ones). I am not a fan of the Wikipedia process, but I think they have not done anything unusual here (although clearly some of the commentators on the discussion page have strong opinions about the topic). - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michel Bauwens Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 12:29 To: p2p-foundation Subject: [P2P-F] connectivism page deleted/censored from Wikipedia pretty sad story and typical of the way the Wikipedia hierarchy operates through power over knowledge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Connectivism -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Commons Strategies Group, http://www.commonsstrategies.org/
ok, I misunderstood, I thought the page had been deleted, in that case, I don't mind strong opinions, but I would mind censoring a page that reflects developing theoretical work around peer learning theories there is a proper way to integrate the critiques, even disclaimers that it is a theory, that does not involve depriving wikipedia users of that valuable information, Michel On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 5:07 AM, Dennis E.
