CITASA,
Hello! As part of a class I'm helping to teach this semester, I'm
looking at what specific knowledge is part of 'expertise' on Wikipedia.
For pedagogical purposes, I'm creating a kind of 'Wikipedia Quiz' that
contains simple true/false or multiple choice questions about things
that more experienced users on Wikipedia might know.
For example, one question I've thought of is:
How far back in the edit history of a Wikipedia article is it possible
to browse?
a. The last six months
b. The last year
c. Since the last major revision
d. Since the creation of the article
e. I don’t know
Anyway, I thought there are many knowledgeable CITASA folks out there
who might share their thoughts, brainstorm a bit on other nuggets,
nuts-and-bolts type pieces of information that one might learn through
experience with Wikipedia.
Thanks in advance for any and all ideas!
