Hoi,
Today or tomorrow, time permitting I will blog about how universities can
check what alumni and employees are known for them in Wikipedia (ie
Wikidata). At the moment I know the following: 195085 people

It is very easy to provide the same information per university. It allows
for editathons and special interest for the female alumni. It is for you to
decide how best to use this. For your information, the Reasonator will show
up to 500 linked to the item of the university .... DO REMEMBER that alumni
or professors may be known in other languages... I blogged about a
professor of the University of Utrecht recently...
Thanks,
GerardM

Dear colleagues,
I need your help.
In a weeks time, I am invited by the Norwegian Science Council to meet them
and lecture and discuss about how they can nurture and contribute to the
Wikipedia.
The Science Council (Forskningsrådet) organizes all the universities,
colleges, and institutes sector as regards research, through funding and
program evalution.
The task is that they will first produce a "do-it-your-self-kit" to
scientists and researchers on how they can fulfill they obligation of
educating the public. Thereafter, they will work more targetedly with
pinpointing and contributing directly to the Wikipedia, probably Commons
too.
Our good partners in the Arts Council Norway have already worked with us
for a long time on their public outreach obligation, and will take part in
the meeting and speak about how they have nurtured the outreach of cultural
heritage through Wikipedia and Commons.
QUESTION:
Where can I find good overviews of:
- Examples of universities or institutions who have "used" Wikipedia to
educate the public
- Examples of professions or individual researchers who have done the same
- Examples of formal co-operations between science and Wikimedia movement,
as reference
- Examples from your chapter of co-operation with science / universities
Thank you all,
Erlend
