Community-Led Management Sample Clauses

Community-Led Management. On the other side of the spectrum, there are some recurring issues in the Wiki model of exclusively community-led management. According to a former employee of Wikimedia UK, users reported that the freedom to be considered an expert on a subject without the traditional gatekeeping aspects of academia was a major motivation for their continued participation.425 That freedom makes them feel empowered, but can also lead to conflict on a number of articles particularly with regards to sensitive topics.426 This limits the type of work that the Wiki model can effectively do, as articles on historical events such as genocide cannot make any progress, and in fact damage community sustainability by bringing members into direct conflict with one another. The only time these conflicts can be resolved is when the central authority of the Wikimedia Foundation locks an article. This has the effect often of locking down the community as well when such actions are perceived as encroachments on user freedom.427 In this way the power has been split in a different, but still uneven manner. The users collectively have absolute control over the shape and management of the community. They can rebel or rally against opposition both internal and external without regard for the ultimate mission of Wikipedia. At the same time, the institution still maintains the option of absolute control over the content with its ability to unilaterally block modifications to an article. Instead of a pyramidal hierarchy or a flat heterarchy, the system becomes one of distanced powers in the case of some articles and heated opposition in others. In the adaptive cycle, new pressures stimulate growth and a system can either change in composition and return to a resilient state or it can be destroyed under the strain of said pressure.428 Neither situation lends itself to the adaptive cycle model as there is no clear path towards growth or change, except in a destructive sense in the case of opposition. Beyond the debatable benefits of a Wiki-style management system in general, there is the pressing issue of how such an open-ended model fits the needs of cultural heritage institutions. For some advocates, one of the major advantages of things like Wikipedia is how easily they allow for open access to materials and projects.429 The idea behind open access is to make cultural heritage resources more readily accessible and allow for more collaborative work to be performed.
