- Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
- Especially in Germany we have discussions about the relevance and quality of blogs. Some veteran authors focus on the old main media like Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, ZDF. They don't see the quality of blogs and disagree to use them as reliable sources. But this is wrong. Blogs are often of higher quality than an article by an editor in a big newspaper. They have their nice niche knowledge. This helps to improve Wikipedia at all. The strength of our encyclopedia is the dynamik and the possibility to add new and detailed information very quick. Therefore I will open the mind for the use of blogs.
