Assignment

I'm starting this page as part of the P2P Course on Writing Wikipedia Articles. In hot pursuit of the WikiSOO Burba Badge.

The topic is interesting to me from a few angles. I have been reading a few scholarly articles on the topic so of course I searched Wikipedia and failed to find an article on the main Wikipedia. On the WikiMedia page I found and old discussion started by Larry Sanger in 2001. My interest in networked knowledge development is piqued and I'm hoping this page will be allowed to stand and those much more knowledgeable about both epistemology and Wikipedia will find it a useful place to add their input. --ggatin (talk) 08:21, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gating, I am late in offering feedback on this article. My apologies. I think you have chosen a fascinating topic, but also a very challenging one. I'm very interested to see where you go with this.

At present, I think you would do well to add a little context. The second paragraph, in particular, seems rather opaque, unless one has a pretty strong grounding in the discipline of epistemology and its ontology.

I see that your link to a similarly-titled essay on Meta Wiki was removed. (Your link went to the essay's talk page; I think you may have meant to link directly to the essay: The epistemology of Wikipedia) But this essay would not meet [[WP:RS|Wikipedia's standard of a "reliable source." This is an unusual case -- the self-referential nature of the topic adds some complexity! But what we really need to add is a source, ideally from the early 2000s, in a peer reviewed or other independent publication, asserting that there are interesting questions at the intersection of Wikipedia and epistemology.

I'm curious about your plans going forward. Are there other papers or articles you have collected that you will be incorporating? Or do you plan to delve more deeply into the ones you've already cited? -Pete (talk) 20:33, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if you're still working on this, but it's an interesting topic and I think probably deserving of an article (although obviously this can be improved!).
