Hi all You out there,
since a two weeks we have a new official Wikipedian in Residence. Tim
Moritz Hector is coordinating the exchange in-between the public media
corporation *Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen* (ZDF) and Wikimedia projects.
The ZDF agreed to liberate all content produced within the online format ZDF
check <http://zdfcheck.zdf.de/> under a CC-BY license which is pretty much
the first time ever a public media house approves it in Germany.
Wikipedians and other felt members of the net community are invited to
participate in the online fact checking procedure. Due to the coming
elections politicians in Germany are sensible to it only after a few days
the format has been online. The project was
discussed<https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kurier>
controversially
within the German Wikipedia-Community. The project will run until fall.
Than there is time to balance.
We are reporting regularly on the WMDE blog
<http://blog.wikimedia.de/2013/04/24/was-wikipedianer-besonders-gut-konnen/>and
inform more into detail on the project
pages<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Deutschland_e._V./ZDFcheck>.
Until now the outcome are 5 info graphs on different topics produced to
serve the needs of the online platform but liberated under the CC BY
license.
Please share Your experience on cooperations with media corporations.
best regards
Barbara Fischer
Kuratorin für Kulturpartnerschaften

If this includes museums, it not only gives them a UID, but also,
combined with accession numbers, a UID for each object or set of
objects.

G'day!
I work on a resource called PubMed Health, at the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a division of the US National Library of
Medicine. We're part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in
Bethesda, Maryland.
Several years ago, the NIH held a Wikipedia Academy (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academy/NIH_2009 ). Guidelines for
participation in Wikipedia were developed for NIH staff:
http://www.nih.gov/icd/od/ocpl/resources/wikipedia/index.htm
The NCBI has been collaborating with WikiProject Medicine for a few
months. We're delighted that Doc James (James Heilman from Project
Medicine) and Blue Rasberry (Lane Rasberry, Wikipedian-in-Residence at
Consumer Reports) are spending most of next week with us to further both
our collaboration, and We're having meetings and edit-a-thons next week
at the NIH campus in Bethesda - but you can also register to participate
in webinars of the edit-a-thons on Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning
next week, US EST. Here's our project page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/May_2013
Email to register either in reply to this email or to pmhmeet(a)gmail.com
Apologies for the short notice - but we hope it's not too late to stir up
interest in participation.
Best wishes
Hilda Bastian

Last week, the The New Art Gallery Walsall, where I am Wikipedian in
Residence, uploaded this high-res tiff to Wikimedia Commons:

I've just learned that, as direct result, it is to be used in a new
book, the “Flora of Birmingham and the Black Country”, which goes to
the printer next Monday - a last minute decision by the books authors
and editor

I've just created a Wikipedia article about the Lithuanian Road Museum:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_Road_Museum
I wonder if they'd like a Wikipedian in Residence?
Do we have any Lithuanian, or Lithuanian-speaking, folk on this
mailing list, or in our wider network?
