Background edit

The title "Wikipedia @ 20" has a distinct style used in 2021 around celebration of Wikipedia's birthday, and the subtitle paraphrases the closing remarks of the preface:

Though Wikipedia was revolutionary twenty years ago, it has yet to become the revolution we need. The important work of sharing knowledge, connecting people, and bridging cultures continues.

— Joseph Reagle and Jackie Koerner, Preface

The book features an introduction by the editors and 21 essays split into three chapters: Hindsight, Connection, and Vision. Essays were selected through an open submission process in the spirit of Wikipedia and published using open publishing platform PubPub.[2][3]

The project was financially supported by Knowledge Unlatched, the Northeastern University Communication Studies Department, and the Wikimedia Foundation so the book could be released in both print and digital forms.[4]

Reception edit

The publication was launched during a live stream with an author's round table on Wikipedia Weekly Network on the 20th birthday of Wikipedia, and it was referenced in international media coverage of the 20th anniversary.[5][6] The book was endorsed by Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales for its "hard-won wisdom of its contributors, the novel reflections of scholars, and the necessary provocations of those working to shape its next twenty years."[1] It was also reviewed critically by Science magazine's Andrew Robinson[7] and furthermore in Bookforum by Rebecca Panovka who reflected on some of its inconsistencies, ties to "Enlightenment-era liberalism," and lack of voices of less loyal external criticism.[8]

Other mainstream media that referenced the book include The New Yorker,[9] The New Republic[10] and ABC Radio National,[11] as well as technology focused websites.[12][13] The book is featured in IEEE Xplore,[14] and some of the content of the book was adapted for shorter form publishing, such as a Slate article on how the September 11 attacks shaped Wikipedia.[15]
