Outline:

  • Disclaimer

    • Danzig / Gdansk

  • Chinese Wikipedia & politics
    • Luo Changqing case
    • First Aider K
  • Crux of the issue:
    • "Consensus" - amongst whom?
    • "Verifiability, not truth"
    • These values were great when Wikipedia was a fly on the wall, but not so much when we're now the hub of world knowledge
  • Vulnerability to state manipulation
    • Is the global Wikimedia movement complicit? In our attempts to help citizens of oppressive regimes join the global conversation, we have given those regimes a way to exploit us
  • Croatian Wikipedia disinformation - you don't need an authoritarian regime
  • Advocacy for the future...
    • Knowledge equity means...
    • Creation of reliable sources (oral history, journalism on the ground)
    • Leading international standards (language classification, fact-checking)
    • Fostering a global conversation
    • Carrot and stick on dealing with governments - have a policy whereby if a government censors Wikipedia, Wikipedia should censor their state media!
