Michael Stevenson heeft op de weblog Masters of Media een interessant blog geschreven. Hij vergelijkt de bijdrage van de verschillende universiteiten aan wikipedia mbv de wikiscanner. De resultaten zijn natuurlijk niet volledig representatief (thuis heb ik geen tu-verbinding), maar wel redelijk vooroordeel bevestigend:
The three technical universities (Twente, Eindhoven and Delft) were ‘profiled’ based on the articles each edited. As expected, each contributes often to articles relating to mathematics, science and technology. In addition to this, each was found to conform somewhat to ‘Geek’ stereotypes, with a high proportion of edits on topics dealing with science fiction and fantasy games. (I hope it is clear that, as a new media student, I would never use ‘Geek’ in a negative way.) This was most pronounced in the results for the Technical University of Eindhoven.
