I am an Australian Research Student (in Geography: mainly virtual places and spaces) from Sydney. This year, I am writing my thesis on online collaborative communities and citizenship, and wikipedia is my case study.

Thank you to the many, many people who volunteers to be interview subjects for my research. The thesis will be ready at the end of October, when I will post it on the site.

Cheers,

tamsin

Picture of the day Rhinanthus angustifolius, the narrow-leaved rattle or greater yellow-rattle, is a species of plant of the genus Rhinanthus, in the broomrape family, Orobanchaceae. It is an annual wildflower, native to temperate grasslands in much of Europe, and north and central Western Asia. The yellow flowers are mostly visited by bumblebees. This R. angustifolius inflorescence was photographed in Kulna, Estonia. The photograph was focus-stacked from 80 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus Archive – More featured pictures...
