Welcome to Wikipedia
Mr. Unsworth, the collection you've edited (A Companion to the Digital Humanities) was my first exposure to the subject and the reason for my creation of The Digital Humanities article and your excellent paper on scholarly primitives, as I'm sure you've noticed, heavily influenced the structure of the article. Wikipedia is better for having you as a contributor and I would be interested in your thoughts on this anarcho-syndicalist commune of an experiment that is Wikipedia.

thanks
Elijah,

thanks for the welcome and the provocation. I'm an old anarcho-syndicalist myself (see the links below) and a long-time fan of Wikipedia. The fact that you launched the wikipedia entry on digital humanities demonstrates why this manner of organizing collective intelligence is a good idea: if we'd waited around for some committee to bless some editor to organize some authors to do the entry, we'd all have been dust before there was ink to dry with us. Thanks for getting it rolling,

John
