Did you know that UW has a Wikipedia of its own?

Our amateur information resource here at UW-Madison is called Wiscpedia.  (I had never heard of it until randomly stumbling upon it this morning.)  It's rather thin on content right now.  Perhaps J 176 students can engage with it as part of their blog project?

    I just took at a look at the page. It seems really cool! We should definitely contribute to it at some point. I can already see some areas I want to add to. Is this site connected to wikipedia at all? Or was it created from scratch?

    I agree with Dani, this is a very interesting concept because it takes the idea of Wikipedia and creates a site for the niche audience of UW-Madison students and or people who interact with the university. I wonder who is mostly posting to this site if its students or outside people who have some sort of affiliation to the university. I think for my blog we could definitely incorporate a blog post about this new found site.
