Description

More than 80% of Wikipedia articles are written in languages other than English-—in fact, Wikipedia includes articles in 285 languages, and yet there is a lack of scholarship on the global features of Wikipedia. Global Wikipedia: International and Cross-Cultural Issues in Online Collaboration is the first book to address this gap by focusing attention on the global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of Wikipedia. The editors showcase research on Wikipedia, exploring a wide range of international and cross-cultural issues. Online global collaboration, coordination, and conflict management are examined in this rich socio technical environment.
