edit

Within the Wikimedia movement, Jemielniak is involved in the Polish Wikipedia, where he has served in various roles, including as an administrator, bureaucrat and check-user.[29] He was also a steward for all Wikimedia projects.[29] He is a member of the Polish chapter of Wikimedia, but has never held any roles or position in it.

Dariusz has voiced his support for the enabling of paid editing of Wikipedia under certain constraints,[29] and has been vocal about reducing the bureaucracy within projects.[30][31] He is an advocate of wider involvement of women and academics in the Wikimedia movement,[32][33][34][35] and the need to start actively promoting its use and development in academia.[36]

He has authored a book on the social organization of Wikipedia, titled Common Knowledge?: An Ethnography of Wikipedia, following a period of research on identity and roles in open source projects, in the form of participating ethnography.[37][38] The book was well received by critics and other scholars.[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] More recently, he co-wrote a book about the collaborative society (2020, MIT Press), explaining seemingly unrelated phenomena such as citizen science, peer production, platform capitalism, creative commons, or the quantified self.
