| contents | Over the past 20 years, Wikipedia has gone from a rather outlandish idea to a major reference work, with more than 60 million articles across all languages, including nearly 7 million in English [Wiki01]. Around 27,000 of these articles concern mathematics [b], and Wikipedia is the first place that many of us go to learn about a new mathematical idea. In this overview, we will discuss how to go about creating or editing an article on a mathematical subject. (Most of this applies equally to topics from other technical fields.) We will also discuss biographies of mathematicians, articles on mathematical books, and the social dynamics of the Wikipedia editor community. |
