I’ve submitted a 30 mixture case study session on Critter of the Week, the Wikipedia/radio
show collaboration we’ve been doing in NZ for the last 7 years.
Happy to be part of a WREN panel, where Wikipedians in Residence can share common problems
and stories. I personally find things like the workflow, strategies for clearing photo
licences, avoiding COI problems with the host, what’s successful and not are the questions
I get most from people outside the WiR experience or who might be contemplating starting a
residency. Maybe a session “So you want to be a Wikipedian in residence” aimed at non-WiR
editors who want to work with GLAMS?

Hi all,
There are two days left for submissions for Wikimania panels or sessions.
Has anyone submitted or is anyone planning on submitting sessions on their GLAM work, or
might folks be interested in making a WREN panel to discuss the last year's worth of
learnings, and also do some evangelism for WREN?
A very regrettable thing for this year's Wikimania is that the submissions are not
public. That makes it impossible to figure out what other people are submitting or what
they are thinking. So if you have any sessions you are proposing, do share them here. Or
we can combine forces on a session.
Some thoughts:
1. From the Smithsonian side, we will likely submit one about the American Women's
History Initiative and summing up our edit-a-thon and other activities - what we learned,
what techniques have worked, and plans for the future.
2. GLAM tools and best practices - Incorporating SDC into the workflow, best tools for
2022? Might this be a session of interest for folks to collaborate on?
3. We've had a GLAM Culture Crawl day in the past, where we have training sessions
and discussions oriented towards teaching GLAMs new to wiki contribution. Might this be an
interesting thing to propose?
Any other ideas welcome.
