Wikipedia is a Third Place

[edit]

I would argue that Wikipedia, and its larger Wikimedia Foundation, is in fact a Third Place. Discuss. Find three reliable sources to support this thesis. Bearian (talk) 23:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

I disagree. Ray Oldenburg, who coined the term third place says third places are face-to-face phenomena. Source:
I think a separate term such as community driven online collaboration is a better way to describe Wikipedia. Gulugawa (talk) 02:36, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Added section on "third workplaces" as a modern extension of third place theory, referencing recent research on hybrid and remote work environments.

[edit]

In the 21st century, the concept of the third workplace has emerged as an extension of Oldenburg’s theory. These are environments such as cafés, libraries, hotels, and cultural institutions that are repurposed for knowledge work outside of the home and traditional office. Researchers and commentators argue that third workplaces provide flexibility and community for remote and hybrid employees.<ref name="Axios2021"/"AXIOS: Term “third workplaces” reshapes work norms beyond home/office.">https://www.axios.com/2021/06/25/third-workplaces-home-office-alternative?utm_source=chatgpt.com<ref name="Springer2024"/"Springer / research on NeWSps: Academic framing of third places and hybrid spaces.">https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-50868-4_2?utm_source=chatgpt.com WorkEverywhere (talk) 15:45, 25 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
