Hello Sara, in Germany we suggest the staff should register with their institution and declare on their user page who they are. We had a year long project on paid editing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:German_Wikipedia_WikiProject_on_How_to_deal_with_Paid_Editing> culminating in a request for comment. The result was, that paid editing is ok as long as the editor is respecting the neutral point of view <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view> and avoiding edits where conflict of interest <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest> would lure. kindly Barbara Fischer Kuratorin für Kulturpartnerschaften Jeweils persönlich von Montag bis Donnerstag für Sie erreichbar Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | NEU: Tempelhofer Ufer 23-24 | 10963 Berlin Tel.

Thanks so much Axel, appreciated!Best, Sara Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 13:35:06 +0200 From: haxpett(a)gmail.com To: glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [GLAM] Curators editing in working time Hi Sara,I've worked with the Council of Central Museums in Sweden for a while now, and a bunch of curators are both editing and engageing in discussions during their work time. No concerns about employer oversight has been raised, but rather that the transparency makes it easy to show off what they have done. Beeing transparent also makes it easier for the wikimedia community to see what GLAM staff are doing, and to help out when that is needed and ask for expert input when sources, images or knowledge they think the GLAM can provide is called for. Some of the museums have created institutional pages where they list articles they are watching and working with, commons categories, projects and users working on the GLAM. See https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Projekt_GLAM/Tekniska_museet for the Tekniska museet page.Best regards,/axel ==================================== Axel Pettersson +46 (0)730 59 58 13 haxpett(a)gmail.com Twitter: @HaxpettBlogg: http://haxpett.wordpress.com/ 2015-04-22 12:46 GMT+02:00 Sara Thomas &lt;sa.thomas(a)live.com&gt;om>: Hello all, Daria at WMUK suggested that I ask this list, hoping someone out there can help. I'm a Wikimedian in Residence working at Glasgow Museums in Scotland. We've had a lot of curator interest in editing and contributing to Wiki, but that's brought up some issues concerning the use of Wiki during working time, the oversight that the employer would have, etc. Glasgow Museums are part of Glasgow Life, which is a council-run body. I wondered if anyone had come up against these sorts of issues before, and if so, how they'd been dealt with? I'm looking at ways in which curators can leave messages on talk pages, engage in discussion on Wikiprojects, etc, but some are really keen on direct editing. Any advice or experiences greatly appreciated!
