Scientists devote time to editing and updating Wikipedia
- teepo 2y agoThe piece mentions a 2018 survey [0] that revealed that 12% of Wikipedians (editors) have a doctorate degree. Have the demographics changed since then? I'm curious how the pandemic lock-down may have effected usage and editing. Many doctorate holders contribute rich, well-researched content. However, if these editors predominantly come from similar demographic or cultural backgrounds, it may unintentionally lead to a less representative body of knowledge. I'm sure this kind of diversity is a common discussion and can be controversial to some folks.
