Wikipedia is the greatest. One reason is its centralization of information so, in particular, let's err on the side of centralizing reliable information for ease of access.
Our institutional capacity is partly untapped. I am in favor of building out and strengthening intramural wiki structures, but we also need to be thinking about ways to communicate extramurally as a collective. Use cases would include:
- Formally asking copyright owners to let individual sources and images enter the public domain, on behalf of Wikipedia's readership. A noticeboard process would regulate the flow of requests. Annual quotas might be agreed with the biggest publishers.
- Asking BLP subjects to release basic biographical data into the public domain, with an associated forum for their use.
