Wikipedia and oral knowledge
From Africa is a Country:
Verifiability and no original research are two core contents policies for contribution to Wikipedia. You need to back entries with citations from printed sources. What does that policy means for societies with rich, oral knowledge cultures. Achal Prabhala, a Wikimedia fellow and a member of the Foundation’s advisory board, and some of his colleagues in South Africa and India, have other ideas for that policy. Check out the film “People are Knowledge” (directed by Priya Sen and Zen Marie).
