Dennis Carter, assistant editor of eCampus News, wrote about ASMH’s radio session on Wikipedia in “Universities told not to edit their Wikipedia entries: College representatives should keep off of their school’s page, Wikipedia spokeswoman says.”

Here is a selection:

Menachem Wecker, cofounder of ASMHE, said campus officials could raise awareness of errors on a college’s Wikipedia entry on the site’s discussion page and encourage other editors to make the change and include proper citation.

“Users should not try to participate in Wikipedia in a vacuum,” he said. “One doesn’t show up in a community and tell it how to do its business, and one should immerse oneself in the Wikipedia community and realize that it functions as a community.”

Update 4/26: The radio session has also been covered in Lani Farley’s article in The Western Front titled “University Wikipedia pages ripe for biased editing: Site that tracks IP addresses finds some universities edit their own Wikipedia pages.”
