Text of the page (random words):
pediapress blog 2015 06 26 printed wikipedia as art from aaaaa to zzzap exhibition last week brooklyn based artist michael mandiberg revealed print wikipedia a project that visualizes the complete english wikipedia through 7 600 printable books each book will be uploaded to print on demand website lulu com where it can be ordered for 80 the exhibition from aaaaa to zzzap at the denny gallery in new york documents the upload process and displays 106 physical volumes as well as a wallpaper of the first 1980 volumes as you might know pediapress started a crowd funding campaign http wikipediabooks org with a similar goal last year and it s quite interesting to compare print wikipedia s approach to our own we estimated that printing a complete edition of wikipedia would not have a big impact on the environment but mandiberg s idea to print a wallpaper of a bookshelf instead of thousands of volumes certainly silences all critics print wikipedia uses mainly the text information from wikipedia at least as far as i could see it does not contain images and tables this makes book generation easier but leaves out a significant and important part of the content offering the volumes via print on demand allows everybody to experience the size of wikipedia first handed and adds credibility to the project at pediapress we approached the project differently with german gründlichkeit thoroughness we set out to create a tangible encyclopædia that could be experienced in its entirety by as many people as possible of course this lead to much more work and cost and after our indiegogo campaign failed the project went into deep sleep my only small critique on mandiberg s effort is that a picture of a bookshelf is not a real bookshelf to know that there are 7 600 volumes or 1 200 volumes in our case is different from taking a volume into your hands feeling its weight and flipping through its pages unless somebody with very deep pockets comes around and spends 500 000 the project will remain somehow fractioned aside from this michael mandiberg elegantly created a perfect visualization of the printed wikipedia chapeau mr mandiberg eingestellt von chris um 13 19 0 kommentare 2014 02 13 the impact of a printed wikipedia on trees when talking about our wikipedia book project some people argue that printing on paper is a waste of trees and harmful to the environment we do not take those accusations lightly the environmental impact of paper is significant and must not be ignored in this blog post we want to explore the impact of our project and try to analyze the consequences how much paper do we need wikipedia itself estimates that printing the complete english wikipedia will take roughly 2 000 pages volumes after a few experiments we came to the conclusion that we could reduce this number significantly while still creating a legible and pleasing encyclopædic layout we estimated that we could fit the whole english wikipedia in about 1 000 a4 sized books with 1 200 pages each as we print on the front an backside of a page this amounts to 600 000 sheets of a4 paper common 80g paper weighs 5g per sheet so in total the weight of the paper amounts to a whopping 3 metric tons how many trees will be used for printing wikipedia now let s try to estimate the number of trees used for printing wikipedia with some back of the envelope calculations for the production of 1 ton of paper 2 tons of wood are necessary which again equals approximately 4 cubic meters now let s assume that we have a pine tree that is about 45 meters high and has a diameter of 0 5 meters this amounts to a volume of approximately 9 cubic meters of wood therefore paper used in this project requires about 12 cubic meters of raw wood so we are talking about roughly 1 3 trees that need to be harvested to print wikipedia in reality of course paper is not made from valuable tree logs which are used for furniture or floors but from inexpensive and otherwise mostly useless wood chips and saw dust what we will do to neutralize the effect of our paper consumption in our project and in all pediapress books we only print on paper from fsc certified resources the fsc sets minimum standards for responsible and sustainable forestry in europe sustainable forestry can be traced back to the 15th century in the last 100 years the area covered with forests in europe tripled from 1990 to 2010 the biomass of forests has increased by 30 according to the european environment agency responsible forestry plays an important role in cutting co 2 emissions by cultivating harvesting and especially burning wood instead of fossile energy sources as only trees from certified forestry will be used for this project we can safely assume that every tree we consume for printing wikipedia will be replanted nevertheless we will make sure that at least ten new trees will be planted when our campaign is successful just in case eingestellt von chris um 19 15 0 kommentare 2014 02 10 visualizing the work of 20 million volunteers today we launched a crowdfunding campaign with the goal t o print and exhibit the complete e nglish wikipedi a in 1 000 books check below video to get the idea the idea a few week s after we launched our book export service in the german wikipedia a user asked us t o drop our arbitr a ry 500 articles limit in our conversation with the user we learned that he planned to print the complete wikipedia after doing some back of the envelope calculations and exchanging emails we mutally agreed to drop his plan but the idea was born and stuck with us wikipedia and the book metaphor size in volumes the wikipedia community uses books as a metaphor to compare the size of wikipedia with its printed predecessors like the encyclopædia britannica there is even a dedicated page which continously updates a visualization based on the current number of articles currently the page estimates that a printed wikipedia will fill almost 2 000 britannica sized volumes former approaches in the past t here have been a few a ttempts to create a printed edition of wikipedia in 2008 g erman p u blish ing house bertelsmann released a n abridged version of the g erman wikipedia featuring about 20 000 abbreviated articles on 992 pages shortly afterwards s tudent rob mat t hews created a book containing more than 400 feature d articles from wikipedia on 5 000 pages but even his effort covered only 1 out of 10 000 articles 0 01 in 2010 british artist james bridle created a 12 volume 7 000 pages set of books featuring all 12 000 changes of the article the iraq war between 2004 and 2009 to illustrate the discursive ways of our culture and of course there is pediapress our own humble attempt to create a service that allows everybody to print a book from an individual selection of articles but however futile or inspiring these former attempts may have been none of these approaches covered more than a tiny fraction of wikipedia a printed edition of the complete wikipedia remained an intellectual pastime until now get involved in the exhibition of the largest printed encyclopedia ever as written above the idea for a printed edition was floating around in our heads for years but we didn t know how to tackle the cost crowdfunding changed the situation and fits the wikipedian community approach very well so when somebody brought this topic up in one of our team meetings a couple of weeks ago we said why not and gave it a go maybe we can find other like minded souls like you who love books or are just as fascinated by the idea of an instantly outdated snapshot of our current knowledge according to wikipedia we came up with some perks that will allow you to participate in the project and eternalize your contribution by adding your name or even a personal dedication to one of the volumes check out our indiegogo campaign tell your friends about it on the interwebs and become a sponsor of this unique endeavour if you have tips or questions don t hesitate to contact us we are looking forward to meet you in front of a large book case at wikimania london in august 2014 ps if you happen to know a manufacturer of huge book cases in search of a unique showcase for their product let us know pps we have neither decided on the destinations during a travelling exhibition of the books nor where they re finally put to rest let us know if you think that your local museum or library is a good fit eingestellt von heiko um 21 33 0 kommentare 2013 01 16 voyage voyage good news for all travel

preface to your book all you have to do is to navigate to our shiny new tab aptly named preface after uploading your collection to pediapress there you can get your creative juices flowing and start writing personalize your book with a custom preface the preface will appear at the beginning of your book there is no limit on the amount of content that you can put into the preface the price for your book will be adjusted by the estimated number of pages that you entered by 4 cents per page you can check out the appearance of your preface in the book preview which will be automatically updated as soon as you edit the title or content field you are free to use basic mediawiki markup to enhance the layout we consider the preface to be a part of the content of your book and use arabic numerals 1 2 3 to count the pages only the table of contents will be numbered with roman numerals i ii iii the chapter or article following the preface will always begin on a right recto page to distinguish it clearly from the previous section this means that your book will always grow by at least two pages when you create a preface to remove the preface you have to clear both the title and the content field you could use this for creating personalized gifts just create a headline and leave the content blank this will basically create two almost blank pages you can use these pages to
