Common Knowledge?: An Ethnography of Wikipedia

Published 13 May 2014
However, in 2012 a significant part of the community decided to partner with Wikivoyage, a German fork of Wikitravel (created in 2004 as a result of dissatisfaction with Wikitravel’s decision to run ads), and together came under the Wikimedia Foundation umbrella. Since Wikitravel content was accessible through a data dump (allowed by Creative Commons license, although disabled shortly thereafter by Internet Brands), the new website, running under the brand of Wikivoyage, took over both the content and the crucial part of the Wikitravel community, leaving Internet Brands in a very difficult strategic position (Cohen, 2012; see also [[Wikivoyage]]). 3. Small steps in this area are being made.

For instance, although a 2002 idea that Wikipedia run ads only surfaced as a suggestion, a major outcry in the community ensued, and the majority of Spanish Wikipedians forked their own online encyclopedia called Libre.30 As a result of the tension, the community established the Wikimedia Foundation, which irrevocably established Wikipedia as a nonprofit endeavor. Similarly, when Oracle overtook Sun and OpenOffice in 2010, its users forked into LibreOffice because of their concerns regarding licensing and its potential limitations. When Wikitravel introduced ads in 2012, a large part of its community forked into Wikivoyage, a new project supported by the Wikimedia Foundation. Currently, however, many for-profit corporations successfully introduce peer production—not commons-based production—as a method of generating collaborative outcomes, while keeping the content non-open and clearly ignoring the free/open source software principles.

birth < "1901-01-01"^^xsd:date) . } ORDER BY ?name Wikidata Wikidata is one of the largest LOD databases that features both human-readable and machine-readable contents, at http://www.wikidata.org. Wikidata contains structured data from Wikimedia projects, such as Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, and Wikisource, as well as from the once popular directly editable Freebase dataset, resulting in approximately 13 million data items. In contrast to many other LOD datasets, Wikidata is collaborative—anyone can create new items and modify existing ones. Like Wikipedia, Wikidata is multilingual.
