I met someone from Carl Zeiss Microscopy while speaking (in my
capacity as Wikimedian in Residence at the Royal Society of Chemistry)
at a science conference in thsi summer, and discussed with them the
possibility of using some of the images from their slides, on
Wikipedia.
After further discussion, the company have now open-licensed a number
of images, with the promise of more to follow.
I've uploaded most of the images to:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_donated_by_Carl_Zeiss_Mi…
and they include modern and vintage Zeiss microscopes, as well as
portraits of people associated with Zeiss, educatonal posters, and
more, Please make use of them

Hello,
I want to invite you to participate in a writing contest about three state

Archaeological Museum), as part of the GLAMing Madrid project.
It runs from December 14, 2015 till January 14, 2016. You can join it in
every language. More information in
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMing_Madrid_Challenge this page on Meta.

Hi all,
I´m reaching out because German GLAM volunteer Nicola got in touch with the
director of The Wende Museum <http://www.wendemuseum.org/> based in Culver
City, California. (Nicola wrote the DE-WP-article, too:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wende_Museum) The director highly
enthusiatic about collaborating with "Wikipedia" resp. Wikimedia
volunteers. He´d like to open up the collections so that everyone is
invited to curate and build the database. So there´s good preconditions for
activities like editathons e.g.
Is anyone interested in getting in touch with Nicola in order to start the
conversation with the museum? If so, send me an email and I´ll set it up.
Maybe someone would be interested in presenting possibilities for
collaborating with the volunteer communities? Any hints or ideas here are
welcome!
Best
Lilli

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] "Wikipedia as the front matter to all research": A
brown bag on scholarly citations in Wikipedia this Friday 12/4 @ 12 PT
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, Research into Wikimedia content and
communities <wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Come and join us for a brown bag this Friday December 4 at 12 PT to learn
about unique identifiers and scholarly citations in Wikipedia, why they
matter and how we can bridge the gap between the Wikimedia, research and
librarian communities.

Measuring citizen engagement with the scholarly literature through
Wikipedia citations.
Geoffrey Bilder, CrossRef
Wikipedia (in toto) is probably the 5th largest referrer of citations to
the scholarly literature. That is, more Wikipedia users click on and follow
citations to the scholarly literature *from* Wikipedia domains than from
any single scholarly publisher in the world. What does this tell us about
general interest in the scholarly literature? What does this tell us about
scholarly engagement with editing Wikipedia articles? The short answer is
“we don’t know.” But we are actively working with Wikimedia to find out.
Building the sum of all human citations
Dario Taraborelli, WIkimedia Foundation
As sourcing and verifiability of online information are threatened <
http://www.slideshare.net/dartar/citing-as-a-public-service-building-the-su…>
by the explosion of answer engines and the changing habits of web users,
Wikimedia has an outstanding opportunity to extract and store source data
for every conceivable statement and make it transparently verifiable by its
users. In this talk, I’ll present a grassroots effort <
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData> to
create a human-curated, comprehensive repository of all human citations in
Wikidata.
