"}, "display_name": "Text", "content": "<table style=\"width: 100%; background-color: #f8c300; float: left;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 263px;\">\n<blockquote>\n<h4><strong><img height=\"179\" width=\"200\" src=\"/static/Community_wp20__1_.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: right;\" />What does the recommendation mean by working with communities left out of power and privilege?</strong></h4>\n</blockquote>\n</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>One way to approach Topics for Impact is to focus on working with marginalized communities. Groups traditionally left out of the systems of power, such as indigenous people, cultures with traditions not documented by colonial systems, or communities that historically left out of systems of knowledge production, like women, LGBTQ+ or African Diaspora communities. These groups face compounding, systematic challenges when being represented on Wikimedia projects: for example, their cultures and traditions often don't have a documentary tradition that \u201cworks\u201d in the content model developed by the earliest Wikimedia communities.</p>\n<p>Remember, Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects were formed by contributors focused heavily on Euro-American publishing traditions. The main building blocks of\u00a0Wikipedia, for examples, is\u00a0sentences with citations to scholarly, journalistic or other expert published materials. This kind of citations originates in a scientific tradition that relies heavily on a very narrow set of world views and perspectives.</p>\n<p>In the Wikimedia movement,\u00a0community groups in the Global South and groups with\u00a0specific marginalized\u00a0focus areas, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https://whoseknowledge.org/\" target=\"[object Object]\">Whose Knowledge</a> or <a href=\"https://afrocrowd.org/\" target=\"[object Object]\">Afrocrowd</a>, examine these knowledge gaps and including new kinds of contributions on these topics.</p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Further reading:\u00a0</span></p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">On the connection between Wikipedia and Encyclopedic traditions in Europe: </span><a href=\"https://wikipedia20.pubpub.org/pub/n9hykkgk/release/2\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">https://wikipedia20.pubpub.org/pub/n9hykkgk/release/2</span></a><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0</span></p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">On the politics of inclusion on Wikipedia: </span><a href=\"https://wikipedia20.pubpub.org/pub/llx97ml5/release/2\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">https://wikipedia20.pubpub.org/pub/llx97ml5/release/</span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> </span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">2</span></a></p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"></span></p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"></span></p>\n<p></p>"}
