Wikipediocracy: Difference between revisions

Wikipediocracy contributors have investigated problems, conflicts, and controversies associated with Wikipedia, some being reported by mainstream media. The site's stated mission is "to shine the light of scrutiny into the dark crevices of Wikipedia" and related projects. In a [[doctoral thesis]], internet policy and law specialist [[Heather Ford]], a specialist in Internet policy and law, commented on Wikipediocracy's role, saying, "Asas Wikipedia's authority grows, and more groups feel disenfranchised by its processes, the growth of watchdog groups like Wikipediocracy who act as translators of Wikipedia's complex structures, rules and norms for mainstream media and who begin to give voice to those who feel that they have been excluded from Wikipedia's representational structures will continue."<ref>Ford, Heather, "[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282643334_Fact_factories_Wikipedia_and_the_power_to_represent Fact factories: Wikipedia and the power to represent]", [[Kellogg College, Oxford]], August 2015, DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.1.4068.9361 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126113811/http://www.researchgate.net/publication/282643334_Fact_factories_Wikipedia_and_the_power_to_represent |date=November 26, 2015 }}</ref>
