Politics of knowledge production Critiquing notions of objectivity vs. subjectivity Recording subjective reality Wikipedia as the mainstream
Debating NPOV The paradox of NPOV Collective point of view/Critical point of view Unreal and dismissive approach
Position of an “insider outsider” The local expert Privileging knowledge based on geographical position of the user Going the Britannica way Wisdom of the expert/Wisdom of the masses
Questions of source Knowledge judged on where it comes from Judging validity of the information based on the seniority of the user Verifying the “unverifiable”
Wikipedia as a social repository Addressing the subaltern Fixing oral histories Does lived experience make information more comprehensive?
