This presentation will examine the ins and outs of how English Wikipedia evaluates and uses sources, academic and otherwise, from the theoretical principles enshrined in its policies and guidelines, to the collaborative, often-messy process of applying these principles to concrete examples of sources and article content. In addition to presenting an introduction to these behind-the-scenes aspects of Wikipedia, implications for library services, scholarly publications, and emerging technologies will be discussed.
