Wikipedia Task Force: Reader Conversion

[netmouse]

I have been selected to participate in the Wikipedia task force to increase contributions from readers and under-represented groups. In other words, to convert wikipedia readers to editors.

I have posted a few of my pet theories as to why people are discouraged from or disinterested in editing wikipedia on my wikipedia strategic planning user page. I welcome discussion there or here about why you or people you know choose not to edit wikipedia.

Huh, unification seems to have worked for me, and I *can* log in with that username to the strategy discussion you link. Without even waiting more than a few seconds (I don't mean it failed and when I waited seconds longer it worked; it worked right away, and I didn't delay so it was only seconds later). So that part at least is working for me.
