"we must consider the networks of links and hyperlinks between articles that affect the visibility of biographies. Specifically, if women’s articles are poorly connected to other articles, they become more challenging to find. It is essential to clarify that creating links is a complex skill that involves identifying related pages and adding hyperlinks to them, which has significant implications for information retrieval and visibility on the Web."

"Epistemic violence remains pervasive in much of the moderated content online, yet its extent is challenging to measure. This paper introduces a novel approach to address this gap by proposing an Epistemic Violence Index applied to #Wikipedia biographies of Latin American women scientists and writers...constructing a graph representation of the Wikipedia network connections for leading female figures in science and literature from the 19th and 20th centuries"

Steile These zum Wochenede:
"Die #Wikipedia-Oberfläche muss so bleiben, wie ich sie kenne! Dass die alte für Neulinge unübersichtlich, weniger barrierefrei und technisch veraltet ist, ist mir egal!"
"Mein Alltag muss so bleiben, wie ich ihn kenne! Dass meine Lebensweise dazu beiträgt, dass das gesamte Ökosystem zusammenbrechen könnte, ist mir egal!"
Same vibe. Neu ist böse. Alt ist gut. Es darf sich nichts verändern.
Und besonders in Deutschland ist diese Einstellung unheimlich verbreitet.

Wer noch nicht weiß, wie kostbar, denen empfieht sich der geniale Podcast #Sockenpuppenzoo.
