Lane Rasberry and Wikipedia

This post is a collection of quotes from Lane Rasberry in a presentation in 2020 at MisinfoCon titled WikiProject Medicine. The video for this presentation can be found at this link. I recommend listening to the presentation. There are 2 quotes listed below chronologically.

 

1. "The reason why anyone should care about Wikipedia is that its popular. There's a very simple reason why Wikipedia is popular is because the search engines will return any query for which for which there is a Wikipedia article covering that topic to Wikipedia." (0:48)

 

2. "So supposing you're with an organization. Supposing that you have knowledge that you would like to share, I would like to invite anyone in such a position to edit in Wikipedia. Share your know knowledge and publications in Wikipedia." (4:28)
