Wikipedia:Building Wikipedia membership/Newsgroups

Newsgroups are a form of mass mailing list.

Although there are many providers of access to newsgroups, one of the major and more well known sites is Google Groups

Google Groups is really easy to use, I've discovered--if you don't have a newsreader set up, it's a more than adequate substitute.

Groups we have posted to:
 * soc.history.moderated
 * soc.religion.christian.bible-study
 * humanities.classics
 * humanities.lit.authors.shakespeare
 * sci.physics.relativity
 * sci.stat.math
 * sci.econ
 * sci.anthropology

Here are a couple of direct Google links that may be of interest:


 * Search Google groups for all mentions of Wikipedia
 * Search specifically for mentions of English Wikipedia
