[Jessica Baumgart]

Hello,

I think some of you might be interested in this talk with David 
Weinberger on Wednesday, March 15, at 6 pm.

"The Authority of Wikipedia"
a Web of Ideas event with Berkman Center fellow David
Weinberger

Wednesday, March 15, 6 pm
Berkman Conference Room, Berkman Center, Baker House
1587 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA

An article gains authority just by appearing in the Encyclopedia 
Britannica. Does it gain authority just by being in Wikipedia? What 
(if anything) makes a Wikipedia article worthy of belief? How are the 
sources, criteria and locus of authority changing in the age of the 
Web? Join an open discussion with Berkman Center fellow, author, and 
blogger David Weinberger. Pizza and drinks will be served.


Also, the time of the Wikipedia Meetup on Monday, March 13, has been 
shifted back thirty minutes to 6:30 pm. Details:

Cordially,

Jessica Baumgart


Please pardon the cross posting.
