Hi Wikipedians,
I have written a *Wikimedia Grant Proposal: "Twitterpedian-in-Residence"* and would be grateful for review, feedback, advice, and endorsement, if the proposal seems positive.

*Background* In the last few months I have seen, been referred to, or tagged by friends (who know about my Wikipedia obsession) on quite a few social media posts written by people who are very unhappy with their Wikipedia entries. People don't know how to fix their pages. And there doesn't appear to be an easy answer or approach to talk with a human about the problem. Often, they try to fix the problem themselves, which only exacerbates the problem. And they hate their picture, etc. It goes on and on.
After the last few experiences where I have done significant amounts of editing, it occurred to me that a more formalized answer might be a good beta test solution to this problem.
I am a strong believer in the Wikipedian-in-Residence programs and GLAM initiatives, so I envision this proposal within that type of framework.
Thanks so much in advance,
- Erika
