Err.. Just a point, but yes, the Mesopotamian plain is known as the Fertile Cresent. The cresent of rivers, you see - Tigris, Euphrates, Jordan etc.

Presentations on WP

Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump

I've seen people mentioning academic studies (conference presentations/ journal papers) of Wikipedia. Is there a page which lists all of them (known to us?)? Tomos 00:26 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I don't know if someone has started a list yet, but here are some starting points: I did an English presentation at the Open Cultures conference in Vienna (which also covered Slashdot and Kuro5hin), and also one on July 1 at the Merz-Akademie (exclusively about Wikipedia). There appears to be no video online for the latter one, even though it was filmed. I also wrote a four-part-series for the German netzine Telepolis about Wikipedia. [1] Lars Aronsson's Operation of a Large Scale, General Purpose Wiki Website may also be of interest.—Eloquence 00:39 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I think it'd very informative (to non-Wikipedians) and fun (to Wikipedians) to see a list of formal or semi-formal oral presentations (academic or not) in which Wikipedia is mentioned (hopefully more than a sentence.) --Menchi 02:41 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Thanks! I tentatively created a list of references on my user page so that others can look or add. Tomos 01:41, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Wikipedia in the Media

Just a short note to let you know that I mentioned Wikipedia in a recent article on CMS for the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. The piece is available here in PDF format. Keep up the good work! --Laszlo 11:59, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Wikipedia in Scientific American

Just remembered. There was a link to wikipedia in the article "Chain Letters and Evolutionary History" in the June issue of Scientific American. The exact quote is: "Kolmogorov complexity is discussed at www.wikipedia.org/wiki/kolmogorov_complexity".  :)

I couldn't find this on their site so it might just be in the printed version.

This should off course be mentioned somewhere but I can't figure out where to put it on the press coverage page. -- Jniemenmaa 10:22, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
