The Wiki Model Modified Sample Clauses

The Wiki Model Modified. While the Wiki model of community management often fails to meet the needs of an institution, there is value in exploring how this model could be adapted to be more effective. The major problem with the Wiki model, from the point of view of the institution, is that they lose control over who can access their materials and potentially of the overall mission of the projects they are running. One major concern that frames this issue of control is that of vandalism. Wikipedia articles can have editing shut down because certain topics attract extremist view points and cause an information war between editors.462 That is not unique to Wikipedia as there are other crowdsourcing projects with similar issues, such as Freedom on the Move which documents advertisements for the capture of escaped enslaved people in the United States.

While the Old Weather project is often cited as an example where this crowd led direction yielded positive results without undoing the initial goal of the project465 it shows that the scope of a project can change significantly by the will of the crowd. Understanding these issues of control does however empower institutions that want to consider a Wiki model approach to crowdsourcing to make certain changes addressing control. Where the Wiki model meets these institutional issues is through the exercise of ‘soft control’ which can be achieved with fewer resources than a team of professional community managers while taking advantage of the benefi...
