Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 'Last Best Place on the Internet': Will Wikipedia survive AI?
Q: Do you think that Wikidata and its creation, abstract Wikipedia, is a real threat to replacing language Wikipedias?
There are multiple futures: some editions may rely heavily on Abstract Wikipedia for content in minority languages, but I doubt it will fully replace human-written articles; editors in each language edition will decide how much to include and maintain human oversight.
Australia and Wikipedia: The bias in the map
Q: What is the bias on Wikipedia and why does it exist?
The bias emerges from both who edits and the governance rules; editors' interests shape what is covered, while consensus processes and sourcing rules influence what can be changed, leading to a bias toward familiar, well-documented topics and places.
Australia and Wikipedia: The bias in the map
Q: How did he become an editor?
Tanagra became an editor out of a personal interest in New Zealand music and local history; he started editing because he found gaps and then contributed articles to fill them, showing how personal passion can drive long-term participation.
