Afternoon,
I'm a librarian at Fort Lewis College. I've held edit-a-thons for Art+Feminism and
worked with Wiki Education in classes. Our marketing department has asked about editing
the Fort Lewis
College<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Lewis_College> page. I
know that faculty and staff affiliated with the college can't edit due to conflict of
interest and neutrality, which I of course told them. We currently have a committee on
campus that is working on our history as an Indian boarding school. There are students on
that committee and they are very interested in contributing to rewriting our history and
making public contributions.
Is it also a conflict of interest/goes against the pillar of neutrality to hold an
editathon or other event where students have the option of editing the Fort Lewis College
page to include boarding school history or even create a new page together for the
boarding school? We do have a Native American Center on campus that is not funded through
the college who could host this event, if that makes a difference for conflict of
interest/neutrality.
Many thanks
Cheers.
