interested in Wikipedia also from a scholarly angle, and how to bring more Wikipedia to universities.

My core contention is that universities have a formal third role of "contributing to the community", next to teaching and research in the classical Humboldtian model, and that Wikipedia should be seen as a sensible "microcontribution to knowledge" that at scale can build an abundance of knowledge, in the same way that microcredits can contribute to economic development.

I have written about this in some traditional academic articles, for example here.

I have also done some analysis on what people in the Caucasus read on Wikipedia, which I think is a fascinating glimpse back onto world.
