1 00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:05,577 Minulla oli kerran opiskelija joka kirjoitti romaanista Frankenstein.

2 00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:10,478 ja olen itse kirjoittanut aritkkeleihin Mary Shelley ja Frankenstein.

3 00:00:10,986 --> 00:00:16,398 And whole swaths of the paper were plagiarized from the article I wrote on Mary Shelly.

4 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:22,792 So, I got to write in the margin, I know this is plagiarized from Wikipedia, [whispers] because I wrote it on Wikipedia.

5 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,000 My name is Adrianne Wadewitz.

6 00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,721 When I was a little kid, like seven or eight years old,

7 00:00:28,721 --> 00:00:32,759 I started reading big, long Nineteenth Century novels, and I fell in love with them.

8 00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,062 I wrote my dissertation on eighteenth-century British children's literature

9 00:00:36,062 --> 00:00:41,416 and I wanted to share what I had the opportunity to learn about, with the world.

10 00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:46,830 When someone goes to see a film like Becoming Jane, which is a film about Jane Austen,

11 00:00:46,831 --> 00:00:48,596 you know -- I want to know more about Jane Austen,

12 00:00:48,596 --> 00:00:51,096 and then they type it in to Google, and they get the Wikipedia article,

13 00:00:51,232 --> 00:00:54,473 that they actually know what really happened to Jane Austen's life versus

14 00:00:54,473 --> 00:00:58,926 this fictionalization that happened in the film, because that film was a total fiction.

15 00:00:58,926 --> 00:01:01,900 One reason that I try to recruit professors

16 00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:07,626 to have them have students write actual articles in the classroom is

17 00:01:07,626 --> 00:01:11,148 we want to show students how to use Wikipedia productively,

18 00:01:11,542 --> 00:01:15,042 so one of the things I did was develop a Wikipedia writing assignment,

19 00:01:15,653 --> 00:01:22,253 so that you weren't writing your essays for me, the professor and I was the only person who was going to see them.

20 00:01:22,312 --> 00:01:27,105 The world was going to see what you wrote and it mattered what you wrote and how you wrote it,

21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,368 because millions of people were going to see what you wrote.

22 00:01:30,777 --> 00:01:35,977 So, whenever I have students put together an article or add material to an article,

23 00:01:35,981 --> 00:01:41,500 I have them think about what does it mean to construct an article out of a variety of sources

24 00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:46,560 and what kinds of sources are being used, and what does that mean for our understanding of that topic?

25 00:01:46,558 --> 00:01:50,140 How is knowledge being constructed in this particular area?

26 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:55,000 I've come across very informed amateurs on Wikipedia; that is what is so great,

27 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,820 that people who are hobbyists who love a particular topic, and then they start adding information,

28 00:02:01,342 --> 00:02:03,930 and that is what makes Wikipedia so great;

29 00:02:03,943 --> 00:02:09,560 it brings together both professionals and amateurs who have a love for a particular topic.
