Wikipedia Machine Tags
by karlcow
It occurred to me that Wikipedia could be the basis of an all-purpose machine tag format to describe just about anything in the universe. Wikipedia aspires to have topics on everything, so creating tags associated with Wikipedia topics could be a foolproof way to disambiguate content.

The Wikipedia Knowledge Dump - La poubelle de Wikipedia ( France Inter ( Un jour sur la toile)
by decembre
& 1 other
Avec plus de 13 millions d'articles, les équipes de Wikipédia sont obligées de faire un peu le mènage. The Wikipedia Knowledge Dump met en ligne les articles susceptibles d'être supprimés sur l'encyclopédie en ligne. Cela va d'un groupe de rock d'ado roumaines, au plus gros sanglier au monde en passant par la glace de l'espace ou la chaise empilable en polypropylène. Des articles souvent farfelus ou kitschs qui pour certains finissent par être sauvés.

Using Wikipedia to Extend Digital Collections
by decembre
Web 2.0 technologies offer librarians a great opportunity to enhance the authority of resources that students use on a daily basis, and to push their knowledge and expertise beyond the traditional boundaries of the library. We now consider Wikipedia an essential tool for getting our digital collections out to our users at the point of their information need. We view this as a very low cost way to enhance access to our collections, as well as an effective way to participate in the creation of resources that are used by millions around the world. We will continue to explore how we can take advantage of the opportunities that Web 2.0 technologies offer us when marketing our digital and physical collections.

Nelson Mandela explains the concept of Ubuntu
Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a classical African concept. (Dion Forster 2006a:252)[1]
PULANDO UM TRECHO ..TEMOS :
Meaning
An attempt at a longer definition has been made by Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1999):
“ A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. ”
Archbishop Desmond Tutu further explained Ubuntu as follows (2008):
“ One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity.
We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.
