I have agreed to do a workshop on behalf of Wikimedia UK on 15th July and would
appreciate some advice about the best ways to deal with topics around Conflict of
Interest, Biographies of Living Persons and possibly Paid editing.
This will be at the University of Exeter and the expected participants are web people and
possibly other comms people from universities in the south west of England. Their
objective is to improve the wp articles on academics from their institutions (eg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Academics_of_the_University_of_Exeter )
This was originally discussed with Daria in 2013 and then was going to be held in 2014
(Chris McKenna, HJ Mitchell, Martin Poulter etc were copied into the planning). I emailed
various experts in March and added it to an email to Richard – but have not had any
response from any of them
I have looked at:
·
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest
·
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons
·
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view
and feel reasonably comfortable with the content, but would appreciate any advice on the
best way to get these across to this target group, as beyond basic editing I think these
will be the most useful areas for the participants to engage with.
Rod
