Wikimedia in CRISIS
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Editor Trends Study
The same stuff yet again :(
Blaming one group for everything that goes bad is always the easiest solution to not assume its own part of responsibility in the situation. Do people need so much bads guys so they can identify themselves as the good guys? Joke aside, there are plenty stuffs to be written about which would also pass inclusion guidelines but no one write about them. The reason is simple as What potentially can be written about != What i want to write about. This reflects what capabilities & subjects of interest our current contributors demography can offer.
My summary of how it is de-facto:
- Wiki initiative capability: Limited
- Wiki reaction capability: High
Bottom line on Wiki big changes happen near-exclusively through crisis.
