From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, I'm a recent M.A. graduate from the Telecommunication, Information Studies and Media department at Michigan State University, where I wrote my thesis on Wikipedia.
[edit] About My Research
I conducted in-depth interviews with Wikipedians as research for my Master's thesis. Essentially, my work addresses why individuals contribute to Wikipedia, given that it's a public good.
My thesis is now available at http://www.msu.edu/~john2429/Wikipedia%20as%20Collective%20Action.pdf
[edit] About Me
I am currently Director of the Telecommunications Center and an Instructor of Mass Communication at Albany State University in Albany, Georgia.
