Realistic Virtual Harbin / Earth / Universe / Cosmos ... and with ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy
Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) was the first major communications theorist of how the new media have the power to transform human nature. No matter how powerful or persuasive the message, he said, it’s the media that have changed our patterns of thought and behaviour. Now, in a world dominated by the Internet and social media, McLuhan’s revolutionary ideas are as hotly debated as they were in the 1960s, when he became an academic star known worldwide for his catchy slogans “the medium is the message,” “the global village,” and “hot and cool media.” Today, McLuhan is back in the spotlight again, this time as the first seer of cyberspace.

Hi Void, (Luca), Tim, Lydia, Dario, Markus, Katherine and All,
Thanks so much again for your email, Void, and re developing the World Univ & Sch SUBJECT TEMPLATE - https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T2276 - and potentially with all ~720 WUaS Wikia wiki pages as a blueprint as well in English, and also the other 295-358 languages at Wikimedia, anticipating all 7,099 living languages (thanks to the panel Katherine and Magnus were on this August at Wikimania).
I'd like to introduce you to Tim Starling (head of Architecture Committee at Wikidata, I think), Lydia PIntscher (Product Manager for Wikidata), Daria Taraborelli (- who also knows the bibliographic lay of the land at Wikimedia in all 358 languages - and also about CC-0 licensing of Wikisource in Wikimedia - with commercial implications) and Markus Kroetszch (a key founder and core developer of Wikidata) and Katherine Maher (Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation). Other friends here are also core developers and key people at World University and School / WUaS Co. Peter Bothe designed the logo for A) World University and School, and B) the emergent WUaS Co. Void (Arduin Voidwalker is the Miraheze Mediawiki developer) who will help develop the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE in Mediawiki. Thank you, Luca, for your wonderful reception re WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki's developments so far.
While I think an answer to any WUaS's SUBJECT TEMPLATE+ in Wikidata development questions you might have can be answered by the people here in this email, I wanted to share with you two further resources for learning about Wikidata/Wikimedia resources and developing it them further:
B) And the Wikidata email list with, for example, the recent Wikidata email thread by Lydia - "[Wikidata] Wikidata is becoming a proper citizen of the linked open data web" - which may have relevance for this World Univ & Sch project, Void.
A key first question may also be something like how we might use a Bot to separate free open wiki edits to CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (in 7 languages) World University and School, from possible CC-O wiki edits relating to Wikisource to an emerging WUaS Co site. For example, on this wiki subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Management_Information_Systems - Gerard, under SELECT BOOKS, just added a book of his (... ISBN-13: 978-1977698902 'Information architecture: A Survival Guide' ...), plus his store (https://store.theartofservice.com/information-architecture-a-survival-guide), the latter of which should probably be on a different WUaS platform.
How might I / we answer any further questions you might have, Void, about developing this http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE into a TEMPLATE (including NATION STATES' TEMPLATE, each to become a major university in main / official languages and a LANGUAGE TEMPLATE, each to become a wiki school in all 7,099 living languages) - for all 720 WUaS Wikia wiki pages and related?
I blog much about World University and School here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/ - under the "global university" label, and see, too, the 'Wiki' and "Wikipedia" labels in these regards.
Thanks so much for your email. How could we best talk through this further potentially beyond - https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T2276 ? I'll bring us in touch with some core Wikidata developers, such as Markus Kroetzsch, if that would help too. ...
COURSE TEMPLATE - around CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 7 language (beyond the SUBJECT TEMPLATE)
LANGUAGE TEMPLATE (see SUBJECT TEMPLATE)
- planning for 7,099 living languages (in Ethnologue) / 8,444 language entries (in Glottolog)
NATION STATE TEMPLATE (see SUBJECT TEMPLATE)
Museums' TEMPLATE (see SUBJECT TEMPLATE) - planned in all 7,099 living languages+
Library Resources' TEMPLATE (see SUBJECT TEMPLATE) - planned in all 8,444 languages+
How to plan, for example, for UNIVERSITIAN volunteer edit additions through these WUaS templates - e.g. such as adding phrases to a UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR in their first language?
Much of this anticipates CC-4 (non-commercial licensing of CC MIT OCW and CC Yale OYC)
(Does integrating the WUAS SUBJECT TEMPLATE with Miraheze Mediawiki and Wikimedia Foundation WMF Templates, make sense - especially re wikidata ? Possibly ...
d
(Planning for WUaS Bookstore / Computer Store in all 7,099 languages, and via WikiSource CC-0 licensing
No bookstore at this point )
e
but plan for CC-0 commercial Wikisource (per Lydia Pintscher), and also separately for Wikicite - with WMF Dario Taraborelli
f
Planning for a Wikidata contacts for Void
- working with other Wikidatan core developers - in all 295 languages, especially
Cheers,
Scott

Sorry for the late response. To be quite honest, I'm not too sure where to begin with something like this. I would suggest with starting on the basic structure of the template. Basically, what groups of information do you want to display, and how do you want to break them up. The next step would therefore be actually putting the information into the structure. When working with different languages, is an acceptable solution, but I am unsure of how interfacing with Wikidata works. I'd imagine that it would involve some method of fetching remote data, but I don't know how exactly that would work. In this case, it would probably be helpful to know what information needs to be fetched from where.
At Reception123's suggestion, I'm contacting you here.
I'd like to begin to plan for and develop - https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T2276 - a new WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE based on - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE (and a NATION STATE TEMPLATE as University template, and a LANGUAGES' TEMPLATE for wiki schools, eventually in all 7,099 living languages) - for wiki World University and School's new WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org. This would anticipate an interface with Wikidata (to which WUaS donated itself in October 2015) in all 295 current Wikimedia/Wikipedia languages as well. And while there's been some recent discussion on the Wikidata list about templates here - "[wikicite-discuss] Deletion nomination of Template:Cite Q on English Wikipedia" - I wonder how best to proceed in these regards. What would you suggest in this regard, please, Void (and possibly Reception123), as well? (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/dianthus-new-miraheze-wiki-world.html). Thank you, Scott

With the creation of World University and School in an interactive realistic virtual earth how to make education and learning radically different and very innovative and creatively fun ... through building with MIT OCW in 7 languages and in a wiki platform in all of Wikipedia's 358 languages, and eventually in all 7,099 living languages - perhaps paralleling the fun people have had through creating the internet and the World Wide Web itself.
And the making aspect of ... ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ... will in part contribute to this.

I'm curious how a realistic virtual earth with avatar bots will emerge as a digital history project. Re my actual virtual ethnographic book about creating a realistic virtual field site for anthropological comparison, there's an example of my emerging virtual Harbin Hot Springs' field site in Google Streetview - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook (top left link) - before it develops (and which is what my recent actual / virtual ethnographic book is about - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook).
It's in such an environment that I think a digital history project is already emerging, and will grow.
Looking forward to staying in touch. Thanks again, and nice to meet you.
I came to understand further some of the Andy Warhol and cultural context questions I was asking about yesterday here -
https://www.warhol.org/andy-warhols-life/ - and would hazard that the NY artist world in which he lived and worked as a commercial artist in the 50s, 60s and beyond was a kind of counterculture (re how I focus these questions in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture ... ") in its own way, which dovetailed with musical '60s counterculture in NY with the Velvet Underground.
Here's a picture of the early computers he used to create his pop art (there are 2 other pictures of his computers here with Campbell Soup and Marilyn Monroe) from the Pittsburgh museum ...
... and a number of others surround images ... and potentially ones where you can "walk" through this whole museum ...
I'm looking forward to the time when we'll be able to interact with Andy Warhol himself, converse with him and ask him questions, and create art with him even, - when he might become an interactive speaking avatar bot ...in an interactive realistic virtual world ... emerging from something like the Google Streetview perspectives above (hence the Harvard theater and the Youtube I sent you yesterday). This would grow by converting all the films and videos into 3D interactive virtual worlds with avatar bots, and then coding these avatar bots further for interactivity and speaking.
His Pittsburgh neighborhoods in the 30s and 40s (and 50s) were probably pretty ethnically diverse with central and eastern Europeans, in part, since he was a Lemko or Slovak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol). Some of these were in Oakland (part of Pgh), not all that far from the Carnegie Tech and the University of Pittsburgh, but probably very working class at the time. (It would be great to be able to go back to all these places in an interactive realistic virtual earth with time slider).
I think you and I are focusing academically on a similar time and related cultural contexts (me, re the 60s and 70s and Harbin, as well as anthropologically, and for me in terms of the actual and the virtual).
How much did you go up to Harbin when you were a grad student at Cal?
When were you at Reed, and where did you grow up before coming to Reed? Thanks again for your interesting talk and your new book "Warhol's Working Class: Pop Art and Egalitarianism."
The definition for this course that I use is that it's the use of scientific knowledge to specify ways of doing things in a reproducible (replicating) manner.
And developments of these kinds change gradually over time, but changes that occur cluster together to form a system reinforcing each other.

Warm here today, but now cooling off ... time for some piping on the deck ... seeking to keep great blues' musicians of the 1920s in mind (such as Mississippi John Hurt), for example, and not necessarily the greatest virtuosic and most imaginative/visionary pipers like Gordon Duncan or the great lyrical piper like Stuart Liddell ...
(and re The Desiderata and comparison -
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans ... ),
... although Stuart's Ascension video is great - "The Ascension of Inveraray & District Pipe Band - 2004-2013" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbikiMAjhDM - and they won the Worlds
in Glasgow this year, so this video is also an expression of method, and it's funny too.

Recorded Amazing Grace twice with singing ... and Skyeman's Jig twice, the second time through with a kind of "zip" I enjoy, but with some blips in the 3rd and 4th parts ... letting go of the perfection
monster ... and glad I made these recordings (but my hard drive will fill up quickly with these videos) ... simply opened Quicktime Player, and will later upload some or parts to Youtube. Fun to play outside on a nice evening ... and generate this too as acts of creativity ...

Hi M,
Maybe I can play some of Stuart Liddell's Ascension tunes these days. And then ... build toward unique piping greatness over the years in video ... and converse somehow with this video from Stuart ...
Music came last night in email for SCD on Monday ... will play through some ... and possibly to video ... and pulling out the composing software called MuseScore too perhaps ...
What are you up to today? How are you? May head to Stanford here to work on my poetry book too ...
