Tens of Thousands of Page Views and Counting: Why One Scholar Contributes to Wikipedia

May 6, 2015 @ 12:00 am

Since retiring from teaching in Spring 2014, Sarah Cline has become an enthusiastic Wikipedian, one of just 20% who are women. Now, a year into Wiki editing, she has nearly 2,000 edits on 302 different pages, mostly in English, a few in Spanish. She will discuss what got her started and what keeps her engaged in this evolving crowd-sourced, public history publishing endeavor. From a skeptic to a convert — the evolution of one Wikipedian.
