[edit] should enter a discussion on business ethnography here as well

[edit] need to distinguish between the genre of writing and the research done to support it
The term ethnography is actually more precise than what the article suggests: Ethnography denotes the monograph that scholars (anthropologists) write following their research. The research itself is called ethnographic research -- not ethnography! The methods are called ethnographic methods.

Mention should be made here of Ruth Fulton Benedict.
[edit] quantitative and qualitative
Ethnography isn't just qualitative research. It uses elements of quantitative data as well, depending on the style of the ethnographer. test
- Agreed, ethnographic writing may include survey data and other quantitative writing. It's up to the author to include such fieldwork.falsedef 07:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
In the beginning of the article is stated that Ethnos=nation. when you look at the "Ethnicity" page here on wikipedia, it states ethnos=people. to my knowledge the latter is better corresponding with the original greek term.

Agreed. Someone needs to start it from scratch.
- Allexperts is clearly using the content from here, not the other way around, and they are using it according to the copyright as far as I can tell. --Ronz 23:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Digital Ethnography
I referenced Wikipedia's Ethnography entry in a published article focusing on Professor Wesch and Digital Ethnography. I think the Ethnography entry would benefit from Professor Wesch or other expert's opinion on Digital Ethnography. --Dkaufman1 15:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've read the article numerous times now and don't see any mention that any part of this article comes from a Chicago newspaper. It doesn't hold up to WP:EL. I suggest you post some sources here for examination by other editors. --Ronz 15:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
