<br><br>Hello!<br>
<br>
A compendium of Wikipedia analysis.<br>

INC Reader #7<br>
<br>
Critical Point of View: A Wikipedia Reader<br>
Geert Lovink and Nathaniel Tkacz (eds)<br>
<br>
For millions of internet users around the globe, the search for new<br>
knowledge begins with Wikipedia. The encyclopedia�s rapid rise, novel<br>
organization, and freely offered content have been marveled at and<br>
denounced by a host of commentators. Critical Point of View moves<br>
beyond unflagging praise, well-worn facts, and questions about its<br>
reliability and accuracy, to unveil the complex, messy, and<br>
controversial realities of a distributed knowledge platform.<br>
<br>
The essays, interviews and artworks brought together in this reader<br>
form part of the overarching Critical Point of View research<br>
initiative, which began with a conference in Bangalore (January 2010),<br>
followed by events in Amsterdam (March 2010) and Leipzig (September<br>
2010). With an emphasis on theoretical reflection, cultural difference<br>
and indeed, critique, contributions to this collection ask: What<br>
values are embedded in Wikipedia�s software? On what basis are<br>
Wikipedia�s claims to neutrality made? How can Wikipedia give voice to<br>
those outside the Western tradition of Enlightenment, or even its own<br>
administrative hierarchies? Critical Point of View collects original<br>
insights on the next generation of wiki-related research, from radical<br>
artistic interventions and the significant role of bots to hidden<br>
trajectories of encyclopedic knowledge and the politics of agency and<br>
exclusion.<br>
