  • Supporting Organizational Effectiveness Within Movements

  • The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention
    The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention Susan Tolich On the 21st of May it was announced that Mike Dickison will be assuming the position as Aotearoa’s frst Wikipedia-at-large. Tis new role will entail several placements at GLAM institutions around the country where Dickison will act as a ‘Wikipedian in Residence.’ Tis position does not involve editing Wikipedia on behalf of the organisations but focuses on training staf in how to contribute and engage with all parts of Wikimedia and its editing community. Wikipedia is just one of the projects run by the non-proft Wikimedia Foundation; others include Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Troughout his career Dickison has had years of experience advocating for Wikipedia to be used in the GLAM sector and has hosted various events to improve the representation of New Zealand endemic species and female scientists on the site.1 While Dickson is the frst Wikipedian-at-large in New Zealand he is part of a much larger global movement which works towards creating a freely accessed ‘sum of all knowledge.’ Wikimedians have partnered with GLAM institutions around the world since 2010 with the mission of ‘connecting audiences to open knowledge, ideas and creativity on a global scale.’2 Other Wikipedian-in-residence projects have ranged from creating documentary photography of Carpathian folk lore, to upskilling librarians in the Ivory Coast to be able to promote their heritage using Wikimedia platforms. It was eforts such as these that also delivered Te Metropolitan Museum 1 Mike Dickison, “New Zealand Wikimedian at large,” Giant Flightless Bird (Blog), 21 May 2018, http://www.giantfightlessbirds.com/2018/05/new-zealand-wikipedian-at-large/ 2 Katherine Maher and Loic Tallon, “Wikimedia and the Met: a shared digital vision,” Medium, 20 April 2018, https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/wikimedia-and -the-met-a-shared-digital-vision-f91b59eab2e9.

  • Wikimedia and Universities | Martin Poulter and Nick Sheppard
    Insights – 33, 2020 Wikimedia and universities | Martin Poulter and Nick Sheppard Wikimedia and universities: contributing to the global commons in the Age of Disinformation In its first 30 years the world wide web has revolutionized the information environment. However, its impact has been negative as well as positive, through corporate misuse of personal data and due to its potential for enabling the spread of disinformation. As a large-scale collaborative platform funded through charitable donations, with a mission to provide universal free access to knowledge as a public good, Wikipedia is one of the most popular websites in the world. This paper explores the role of Wikipedia in the information ecosystem where it occupies a unique role as a bridge between informal discussion and scholarly publication. We explore how it relates to the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, through structured data on Wikidata for instance, and openly licensed media on Wikimedia Commons. We consider the potential benefits for universities in the areas of information literacy and research impact, and investigate the extent to which universities in the UK and their libraries are engaging strategically with Wikimedia, if at all. Keywords Wikipedia; Wikimedia; Wikidata; information literacy; research impact; strategy MARTIN POULTER NICK SHEPPARD Open Research Website Editor and Advisor Technical Developer University of Leeds University of Bristol Introduction ‘The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space … by writing something together [people] could iron out misunderstanding.’ Tim Berners-Lee1 The world wide web has both fulfilled and fallen short of its early promise. Its impact on how we access and share information has been revolutionary.
