I am an Australian Research Student (in Geography: mainly virtual places and spaces) from Sydney. This year, I am writing my thesis on online collaborative communities and citizenship, and wikipedia is my case study.
Thank you to the many, many people who volunteers to be interview subjects for my research. The thesis will be ready at the end of October, when I will post it on the site.
Cheers,
- tamsin

The Chesme Church is a small Russian Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Built by the Russian court architect Yury Felten in 1780, at the direction of Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, it was erected to commemorate the anniversary of Russia's 1770 victory over Turkish forces at the Battle of Chesma, during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768 to 1774. The church and the adjoining Chesme Palace were the earliest Neo-Gothic constructions in the St Petersburg area. Considered by some to be Saint Petersburg's single most impressive church, it is a rare example of very early Gothic Revival influence in Russian church architecture.
