While Wikipedia does have epistemic standards, the open question is how such an epistemology can be operationalized and enforced.

The good folks at the Library of Alexandria and Kaltura have made available videos of a good number of presentations from Wikimania 2008.  Luckily, mine was one of the ones up!  So without further ado:

As an ethnographer, I enter into communities, learn their customs, beliefs, and practices, then report back to the academy to share what I have discovered. In this presentation, I wish to do the opposite, presenting to the Wikipedian community an ethnography of academics as they relate to Wikipedia.
