Talk:Interviews
Latest comment: 14 years ago by Philippe in topic Discussing PDFs
Question; where do interviewed people live? I suspect most of them are US-cititzens? What cultural bias will that give in the interviews and their results?. JaapB 06:00, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
unreadable
All the interviews provided as PDF are unreadable. Happy to provide a screenshot when requested. Thanks, 77.250.53.164 22:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- Odd, they're showing fine for me... can you mail a screenshot to philippe at wikimedia.org? -- Philippe 23:30, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
PDFs
The pdf format makes it slower and more difficult to look through the interviews. I think these would be more helpful in wiki format. I realize that editing of the interviews is not wanted, but it is possible to protect the pages and disallow editing. Aude 02:55, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- I fully support going wiki-format. Dont allow editing of the pages themselves, but DO ALLOW talk pages for comments on each interview.--Kozuch 19:08, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- Has anybody said the interviews can't be copy-and-pasted onto wiki pages, if the pages were afterwards locked? I sympathize with interviewees not wanting to have their words edited/vandalized, but at the same time I agree the interviews would be much more useful and more-used if they were easier to discover.

- Are the interviews copyrighted or does CC-BY of this wiki apply to them? There is no note of licencing within the files. --Kozuch 09:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Discussing PDFs
Dont be affraid to discuss the PDFs on their talk pages!!!--Kozuch 19:24, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- Discussing on the talk pages is fine. Still, PDFs are not great for me. Being in the US, I still don't by any means have the fastest internet (usb modem) or fastest computer (5+ years old), though I can still do 95% of tasks just fine. I can do PDFs, but it's much more of a chore, plus the PDF reader software is not great. Looking through wiki pages is much faster and easier to take in the information.

- I've got them ALMOST all converted to wikitext now :) ~Philippe 10:07, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
