#DIGC102 Wk 10 - Research interviews: Wookieepedia Questions @thbooth13 @lewisliveshere
These are proposed questions to ask of Admins on the Wookieepedia StarWars Wiki site.
Many of these questions relate to conflict, hierarchy and legitimacy as these seem to be the premise of the site itself. That is, only certain types of information are allowed on this site, but who legitimates/authorises that information? It has been suggested to also pose these or similar questions to users of the site instead of only admins. Such an approach would bring a different depth and perspective to the reponses, particularly those around power and legitimacy.
- What lead you to design Wookiepedia?
- Is there much conflict surronding articles?
- Is there much conflict surronding authors/submitters/moderators?
- Are you targeted by hackers/trolls? Are these attacks related to the fact that the site is a StarWars wiki?
- What are your roles as an administrator of a Star Wars wiki?
- How is conflict regarding accuracy of information resolved?
- How does Wookiepedia differ from other Star Wars fan sites?
- Is there an established hierachy amongst the contributers and administrators?
- How are the featured articles chosen?
- Can we suggest to you that you call trolls ‘Phantom Menaces’?
