How Wikipedia Works is a 2008 book by Phoebe Ayers, Charles Matthews, and Ben Yates. It is a how-to reference for using and contributing to the Wikipedia encyclopedia, targeted at "students, professors, and everyday experts and fans". It offers specific sections for teachers, reusers, and researchers.[1]
How Wikipedia Works (And How You Can Be a Part of It) is published by No Starch Press, part of their series of technical how-to books. The Register called it "a great one-stop source for information on the world’s go-to source for information."[2] The book was published under the GNU Free Documentation License.[3] It was designed as a reference work more than a how-to guide, with detailed bibliographies for each section.
How Wikipedia Works: Heartbreak Edit Conflict is a wiki remix of the 2008 book by Phoebe Ayers, Charles Matthews, and Ben Yates. It is a guide to understanding and using Wikipedia, for readers with a basic undertanding of the project. It was published in the United States by No Starch Press under the GFDL, so that it would be compatible with Wikimedia projects.
