Re: [GLAM-US] [GLAM] GLAM Manual of Style Subpage Discussion

Thanks for your efforts with improved GLAM documentation. It's always a high need. I'm sorry I wasn't able to respond sooner. I was traveling for a presentation. I absolutely agree with the premise, but I'm extremely disheartened by the direction that the conversation has gone on-wiki. It's rare that I get a Wikipedia-related pit in my stomach nowadays. But I guess no one's ever immune. My thoughts can be found on-wiki.

Europeana 1989 online Wikipedia Challenge
by Kippelboy 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

[cross posting] Hi US Friends, I'm GLAD to introduce you to our forthcoming Europeana 1989 online Wikipedia Challenge that will take place during *October-December* 2013 In this challenge all of the participants are invited to improve Wikipedia articles related to the European Revolutions of 1989 in your own language. We have selected a short list of topics that may be improved or translated. It would be great if the history-related GLAMs among you can join the challenge. You can register and read further info at the challenge's page on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Europeana/1989 Best, Àlex Hinojo @kippelboy Europeana

GLAM-Wiki Manual of Style
by Dorothy Howard 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Hi GLAM-Wiki-ers, There is a conversation going on at Wikipedia talk:GLAM#<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:GLAM#GLAM-Wiki_Section_in_Manu…>GLAM-Wiki Section in Manual of Style?<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:GLAM#GLAM-Wiki_Section_in_Manu…>, about the potential for a GLAM-Wiki section or page of the Manual of Style that could use your input. I drafted some reasons why I think it would be helpful to have a GLAM-Wiki MOS, which I've posted on that page, and are also below. Post to the talk page or reply to this email to discuss further. 1. The GLAM-Wiki movement is rapidly growing and more GLAM professionals are searching for resources to help guide them in adopting editing policies everyday. 2. There are dozens of GLAM-Wiki resources dispersed throughout Wikipedia, with similar, overlapping content. By synchronizing these resources, there could be more understanding and common language within the GLAM community. 3. Though there are dozens of GLAM-Wiki resources, new Wikipedians-in-Residence often still feel the need to generate more guides because there is no definitive version. 4. The Manual of Style already includes information and templates that speak to the GLAM-community, but it would be helpful for GLAM editors and Wikipedians-in-Residence if they were aggregated together. The closest things we have now are: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Visual arts#Museums and collections<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Visual_arts#Museums…>, red links in outreach:GLAM/Model projects<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Model_projects>, and a whole lot of different learning resources in the GLAM Bookshelf<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Bookshelf>, as well as some resources floating on user pages, GLAM pages, etc. 5. GLAMs have a lot of documents and artifacts, such as museum collections, catalogs, finding aids, and archival materials, that can be difficult to put into the current templates provided, and questions about these materials are extremely common among GLAM professional Wikipedians, especially in the early days of their involvement with GLAM-Wiki. 6. Adding GLAM content to the manual of style would help WiRs and GLAM editors resolve disputes by having particular pieces of MOS code to cite on talk pages. 7. It would be helpful for private, non-GLAM editors to have a GLAM manual of style so that they could help monitor and regulate GLAM editing and watch out for COI issues. 8. GLAM-Wiki editors have a unique set of conflict of interest concerns that could be laid out in the Manual of Style and/or (a) page(s) addressing those concerns could be linked to in the MOS. Would love to hear from you! Thanks!

Local GLAM chapters
by Dorothy Howard 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hi, I'm a WiR for a large consortium of libraries and archives in New York, and I'm trying to establish a system for local GLAMs (of which there are many) to share resources, projects, and events. This would be different but possibly associated with the Wikimedia NYC chapter- the difference between them is that the purpose of this group would be to have GLAMs talking to each other, and right now, Wikimedia functions as more of a training/facilitating/article writing resource as far as I understand. Has anyone had experience with setting up a localized GLAM-Wiki group or chapter or any ideas about online platforms for this type of group? I'm considering different options like having a Wiki-Project: GLAM/NY Chapter page, having a local GLAM blog, or a local GLAM Twitter. Other ideas or precedents?

Re: [GLAM-US] [GLAM] Hangout topics?
by Lori Phillips 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hello all, I'd be happy for someone to help take on the task of both reminding about GLAMouts and consolidating the GLAMOut topics afterward. I do not have the capacity to continue to do so, so my involvement will just stifle the potential of sharing the valuable information in these GLAMOut sessions --and the potential is great! It's also been difficult to find the time to get the videos documented on-wiki. We're still working on these kinks in the process. If anyone is willing to help take the reigns of organizing GLAMOuts (even if it's just a single task among the many), please feel free to reach out to Dominic and I.
