Is Wikimania an [[academic conference]]? Citation would be useful. Are Wikimania papers published in [[academic journal]]s?--[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]] <sup><font color="green">[[User_talk:Piotrus|Talk]]</font></sup> 20:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC) |

Germany and the US were logical countries for the first two Wikimanias. But where is the next one to be held? Spain and Japan seem good options. And should I keep certain dates free? Is this already being discussed anywhere? [[User:DirkvdM|DirkvdM]] 12:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC) |

Hello, @Rory O'Connor, |
|||
So what? |
|||
I don't understand [[c:File:Wikimania - the Wikimentary.webm|this video]] : at 3 min 25, 7 min 43 , 12 min 40, 18 min 35, 25 min 36, the video starts over to the beginning! How annoying for somebody who just wants to enjoy this excellent and valuable short documentary! |
|||
At the risk of appearing inflammatory, a conference was held, notable people and sponsors came, the NYT maybe wrote something, and this article says that this was all significant because....?? |
|||
Can we all agree this is too bad? |

This, the last sentence of the lead, is nonsense: "Researchers and speakers presented studies and experiments on Wikipedia and other projects operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, on wiki culture and technology." It is not at all clear what "on wiki culture and technology" is doing there. Is it the last two of three subjects of the "studies and experiments"? And what are "experiments on Wikipedia"? I would have fixed it when I added the mandatory commas, but I don't know what it's supposed to be saying. --[[User:Milkbreath|Milkbreath]] ([[User talk:Milkbreath|talk]]) 15:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

Expanding Wikimania 2023 section
[edit] | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Well, given that I am part of the organising team for Wikimania 2023, I feel that I am obligated to go through this route of requesting someone else to vet through the proposed entry given the substantial amount of changes to the section.
Request: replace the current Wikimania 2023 content with the following, changes in bold:
Wikimania 2023, the eighteenth edition,[1] was held at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, in Singapore, and online from 16 to 19 August, 2023. It was the first returning in-person event since 2019 and was organized by Wikimedia ESEAP.[2][3] The theme of of the conference was "Diversity. Collaboration. Future".[4] The uses and limitations of generative AI were discussed at length during the conference.[5] A temporary setup of gender neutral toilets for the conference in Suntec at request of its organizers was met with mixed reactions from the local populace.[4][6]

Partly done The proposed text concerning general neutral toilets was not added because it stated that the addition of the toilets was met with mixed reactions from the local populace
. Neither of the provided sources for this claim said anything about the mixed reactions coming from the "local" population.[a] Regards, Spintendo 05:59, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
Notes
- ^ One of the sources specifically described the reactions as coming from "netizens" while the other source similarly described the reactions as coming from individuals over the internet. In fact, the only response coming from what was presumably a "local" individual was that made by a spokesperson from the center where the event was held, confirming that "they had temporarily designated the gender-neutral toilet ... at the request of the Wikimania 2023 organisers."
Incoherent video in "2005" section
[edit]Hello, @Rory O'Connor,
I don't understand this video : at 3 min 25, 7 min 43 , 12 min 40, 18 min 35, 25 min 36, the video starts over to the beginning! How annoying for somebody who just wants to enjoy this excellent and valuable short documentary!
Can we all agree this is too bad?
Could anyone reading this help me decide what to do about this? Shoud we re-edit altogether the documentary?
Thank you,
