And how does Wikipedia manage to do this without paid editorial staff? Wikipedia works thanks to a community of volunteers and a system of content-related and behavior-related norms and policies that the community enforces. But the quality of content varies between articles and is heavily dependent on the number of eyes on a given article. In this presentation I will discuss how these policies and processes work, when they fail, and how to become a more informed consumer of Wikipedia content.</span></span><span style='font-family:"Candara",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif;color:black'> </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;background:white'><span class=contentpasted0><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif;color:black'>Presenter: </span></b></span><span class=contentpasted0><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif;color:black'>Ian Ramjohn, Senior Wikipedia Expert </span></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;background:white'><span class=contentpasted0><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Candara",sans-serif;color:black'>Ian’s work supports students, faculty, and professionals as they learn to improve content on Wikipedia.

She will also review minors’ rights under the First Amendment along with examples of how the courts have addressed challenges to materials in schools, including definitions for terms such as obscenity, which frequently is used as the basis for materials challenges.
