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.

I had read them, but failed to note that they were screened and required action. People very rarely make anonymous comments on this journal, so I've not built up a standard habit with regard to making sure they are unscreened. Sorry about that.

(Thanks for bringing it to my attention.)
