[Air-l] Wikipedia Bibliography

[Mark Bell]

Phoebe,

I just joined the Wiki research group and I will post it there. Thanks for
the heads up.

Here is the abstract of my thesis:

The Transformation of the Encyclopedia:  A Textual Analysis and Comparison
of the *Encyclopædia Britannica* and *Wikipedia*
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the following research question:
Are there grammatical textual differences between *Encyclopædia Britannica*and
*Wikipedia*? Specifically, this study will focus on the articles for
"Communism" and "Dwight D. Eisenhower" that appear in the online version of
Encyclopædia* Britannica* and *Wikipedia*. Using a grammatical textual
analysis, the study finds there is little difference grammatically
between*Encyclopædia Britannica
* and *Wikipedia* though they are very different types of systems. There are
several different types of textual or contextual methods that could expand
on this initial approach to find differences between* Encyclopædia
Britannica* and *Wikipedia*.

what are you doing with Wiki's?
