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

' Wikipedia on TV '

Wikipedia on Free-to-air TV for the first time, maybe. Australian Endemol-produced gameshow 'Deal Or No Deal' on channel 7 cites 'Wikipedia' as a source, including a link to the website. I'll have more info if anybody asks. This could be the first time Wikipedia has, while not been featured, but cited or for that matter mentioned on free-to-air TV anywhere.

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)

Where do we put Wikipedia as source for scientific work?

Hi, where do we put articles like this (found by MAv):

  • IBM History Flow: Technical experiment on "visualizing dynamic, evolving documents and the interactions of multiple collaborating authors." Uses various Wikipedia articles as example data.

The Articles the Press release resulted in

...will need to be added. I found four of them: Spiegel, de Politiken, da Brandenton H, en CNN, en
