The ethical encyclopaedia - right and wrong in Wikipedia
Andrew Davidson has been a Wikipedia editor for over ten years and has
written hundreds of articles about diverse topics including freethinker
Harriet Law; the concept of structural evil; the motto *festina lente* and
the nearby Fryer's Delight! He is a founder member of Wikimedia UK - the
charity which supports Wikipedia activity in the UK.
*The Ethical Encyclopedia - right and wrong in Wikipedia*
Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. What are the ethical
principles which have enabled its open community to produce the world's
largest compendium of knowledge? How are difficult questions of
philosophy, politics and religion resolved? How are the truth and
quality of the texts determined? This talk will illustrate the rights and
wrongs of this continuous process and explain how newcomers can participate.
