In association with the Wikihistories project led by Heather Ford, we are
pleased to announce the launch of the Manifesto for Wikipedia Research (<
https://manifesto.wiki/>). This manifesto is the result of a collaboration
between academics interested in furthering a research approach to Wikipedia
and Wikimedia that draws on the humanist tradition, takes Wikipedia's
importance seriously, and is responsive to Wikipedia's changing role as
public knowledge infrastructure.

We have also co-authored a commentary in Big Data & Society called "Uniting
and reigniting critical Wikimedia research" <
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/20539517251357292>.  It
explains each of the 10 calls-to-action and provides a bibliography and
research questions of recent work to help others get started on critical
Wikimedia research.

Please get in contact with me (Steve Jankowski s.jankowski at uva.nl) if you
have questions or would like to be part of a research network that is being
set up to support the work of this manifesto.

Sincerely,
Steve Jankowski
