Hey folks - I started editing a bit on simple.wikipedia.org as I find it important entry point for people who have lower level of understanding written and elaborate English + over-abundance of information inside of the main and mature Wikipedia articles.
I also want to start encouraging people in my region to consider applying for the WiR positions (as none have done before me) and also as I will work with local GLAMs to understand this better in 2021. However I found WiRs page super short and made first corrections https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/Wikimedian_in_Residence
What text or media do you think should be added to this? My impression is it should not go much more than 2-3 extra paragraphs...
It would be ideal for this to be developed with other non-native speakers and people who recently entered Wikimedia ecosystem (if they still remember impressions of getting first info and figuring things out)...than reviewed by native speakers and long-time insiders :-)

I added some media, minimum info on policies and references to WREN. https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedian_in_Residence&a... What else is absolutely essential info to fit in this format?
If someone can look at this before the next meeting that would be great as I would use this bare-bones info to do Croatian translation and also feature in future promo print publications.
Thank you!
