One of the things I'm interested in involves understanding how Wikipedia (the most popular site in the world built on the MediaWiki software package) operates, particularly in comparison to M3P and our plans for it.

Addressing the overlap

Something that will need to be addressed in various ways is the direct overlap between Wikipedia and the M3P. This project will always have more information and materials about Maltese music and associated art that Wikipedia simply by virtue of the fact that we have different filtering systems and policies for what to accept, keep, or even encourage in terms of contributions.

A quick look at the Music of Malta page on Wikipedia illustrates the situation straight away.

There may be room to consider Wikipedia as a way to filter some of the material that appears for public consumption (rather than collaborative production) on the M3P, once the project has been fully established.
