The Ambassadors of Morocco appear to be following a fairly
conventional commercial band route. While "RIAD Records" appears to be
a name for them self publishing there is nothing to suggest that they
have any interest in releasing there songs under a free license or the
like.

On the one hand, I agree. On the other, if I had a starting band, the
massive exposure of Wikipedia might be hard to resist. If we would
want them to release their song under a free licence for the
fundraiser, (and that's if. I want them, but that doesn't mean other
people want them) asking them just puts us at risk of them saying
"thanks, but no thanks"

Re: The Ambassadors of Morocco's debut single 'Wikipedia' will be released on 15th November 2010

With the lyrics being:

" Wikipedia, Wikipedia, has twisted my mind inside out and upside down. 
Wikipedia, Wikipedia, ain't work nothing but fun and laughter all 
around. Wikipedia, Wikipedia, I'm losing my way everyday tuned to the 
sound of Wikipedia, Wikipedia."

I don't think it's a very effective song for fundraising, or promoting 
Wikipedia in general.

I agree, the song really has nothing to do with Wikipedia itself. They could
of replaced Wikipedia with any internet website name and to me the song
would have the same meaning.

Obviously we need our own.

Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia

Forwarding from foundation-l.

David - thanks for the heads-up; this essay is brilliant, and not just
about biology.
Here's a shorter link:  http://j.mp/ten-wiki-rules

Magnus - I see your hand in this    I'd love to see the edit
history...  Have you or your co-authors also published this on one of
the major wikis?

I predict Wikipedia's biology articles will far outshine its
philosophy articles for the simple fact that the biologists bother:

http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000941

(That article is great, by the way. It gives strong reasons for
experts to put in the effort to bother.)

I predict our biology articles are about to become superlative

http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000941

These guys paid author's fees to get an article published in a
peer-reviewed specialist journal that will net them no useful citation
credits, just to make the Wikipedia articles on their science better.
:-O

This article is fantastic. It even gives strong reasons for experts to
bother doing this.

Is there an academic field this article doesn't apply to?

"Well, Dick, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it..."

Maybe not fundraiser material, but it made me smile.
