University project
[edit]Re your message on the Wikipedia Help page, ala.....
- I'm working on my final project for my Multimedia Reporting class at KU. It's over Wikipedia editing and how much it re-establishes the site's credibility. I'm looking for editors who would be interested in being interviewed for my story. I need both involved volunteer editors and hired staff. If interested, please message me back. My username is Luke J-School. "Luke J-School 15:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)"
Drop me a message! Oh, and PS: it better be an email interview with fixed questions - KU is 6hrs- from my time zone! Rgds, --Trident13 00:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- I would probably be willing to be inteviewd, either by email or over the telephone if we agree on a time. I would wanmt a little more detail on what kind of infor you are looking for, and how it will be used. Drop a note on my talk page. DES (talk) 17:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Article
[edit]Hey thanks for helping out. The article's almost done now, but I still have 2 questions that need answered:
- What's the main purpose of editing Wikipedia instead of leaving it for someone else to fix? - ANSWER: I am sure its different for each, but personally a combination of: the pleasure of seeing something added to the project; the resultant learning of the world; leaving a signature/possible legacy. As you spend a bit longer here, you appreciate the personal effects on self education, and how different people see the world so much more differently.
- Do you ever believe that Wikipedia will ever be considered credible enough to cite in a research paper? ANSWER: Yes - its already been cited in court, its only a matter of time before its cited in a heavy-weight reserch paper outside social interaction and the intrenet
