Jimmy Wales Comments at Wikimania
2006 "..... the idea here is to also host learning
communities, so people who are actually trying to learn, actually
have a place to come and interact and help each other figure out
how to learn things. We're also going to be hosting and fostering
research into how these kinds of things can be used more
effectively." (source)
Wikiversity is the place for research into "all things wiki" and
the Wikimedia Foundation wiki projects, in particular. This portal
is a directory for Wikimedia Studies at Wikiversity.

Wikipedia Ethics is a research and learning
project which has its main focus on problems arising from the over
a quarter-million biographies of living persons (BLPs) at
Wikipedia. Many Wikipedia articles characterize people,
organizations, events, and other aspects of human activity. It is
easy for Wikipedia editors to make mistakes and enter false
information. Sometimes Wikipedia editors spend years editing
Wikipedia articles in an attempt to make sure that false and biased
information stays out of Wikipedia. This can do real damage to
human lives. The degree to which the content and practices of
Wikimedia projects adhere to commonly recognized principles of
ethics is what this project examines. Is Wikipedia "out of
control"? What are the ethical implication for the Wikimedia
Foundation when Wikipedia is hijacked by POV-pushers who derail the
goals of Wikipedia?
