The Wandering Wikis project, supported by the Moribund Institute, presents a curated playlist titled “About Wikipedia.”
This collection examines the evolution, influence, and controversies surrounding the world’s largest collaborative knowledge platform, a site that, for better or worse, shapes much of our collective understanding.
The ideological and editorial struggles within Wikipedia’s open-source framework
The role of gatekeeping, bias, and corporate or governmental influence
How volunteer culture has shifted since the platform’s early libertarian roots
Reflections from Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on the platform’s transformation
From Crash Course’s educational breakdowns to interviews with Wikipedia’s co-founders, this playlist invites you to think critically about who writes history, who edits it, and who decides what stays.
🕯️ Join the Wikipedia memorists on the English front opposing the Wikipedia oblivescence.
