Thank you RockingInHakata, Hello interview with a Wikipedian?

On December 10, 2007 in Announcements, Interviews we'd like to do, Suggestions Please

I had been wanting to interview a major contributor to Japan-related articles on Wikipedia for awhile now. I really respect what these people are doing.

And it looks like I may get my wish because Deas from Rocking In Hakata just emailed me some great info about one of the top contributors on Wikipedia, a Mr. Charles Ainsworth. He lives in Japan and is the 7th largest contributer to Wikipedia! Hopefully he can spare us a bit of his time.

If you have any questions you would like to ask him feel free to leave them in the comments section. Here are some I have:

  1. What motivated you to start contributing to Wikipedia?
  2. What advice would you give to anyone wanting to join WikiProject Japan and contribute to writing Japan-related Wikipedia articles?
  3. As a blogger and website owner, how can I and others like me help support the project?
  4. Which articles on Japan are your favourite and why?

Can you think of any others?
