[aaus-list] Wikipedia

[Sorokowski, Andrew (ENRD)]

The recent exchange on the Gogol/Taras Bulba Wikipedia article brings up
a somewhat neglected issue. Do Ukrainianists participate in Wikipedia?
This is not just a source for high-school students and journalists. Many
scholars use Wikipedia (from Hawai'ian 'wiki-wiki,' 'quickly') as a
source - with caution, of course, as with all sources. I think it is the
professional obligation of each of us to learn the technique of
contributing to this collaborative project (it can't be that hard) and
ensure that at least one article in our area of specialization is
accurate.
