I could give a lightning talk on "why WiRs should edit Wikipedia". I submitted a proposal on the topic <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia%2BLibraries/Program/Submission/Why_Wikimedians-in-residence_should_edit_Wikipedia> to the Wikipedia+Libraries conference, but I think for Wikimania I would step back from the "hot take" angle and just be matter-of-fact about the benefits. I know this could be a controversial topic with some attendees, so I could do a related topic instead like avoiding COI if that would be easier. -Rachel ------------------------------ *From:* Andrew Lih &lt;andrew.lih(a)gmail.com&gt; *Sent:* Monday, June 13, 2022 4:32 AM *To:* Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network < wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; *Subject:* [Wren] Re: WREN or GLAM Wiki panel for Wikimania? Thanks all, I have submitted a session.

After reviewing all of the responses, I will submit a basic panel with a number of quick 5 minute lightning talks (pre-recorded preferably) of WiR would be great, and a roundtable afterwards of folks who might be interested in discussing new opportunities with the audience. We can determine the exact folks later, but for now I'll list Jamie, Tochi, Mike, Amanda, Rachel, Florence, and myself. -Andrew On Sat, Jun 11, 2022 at 3:43 AM Tochi Precious < tochiprecious2(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Hello Andrew A WREN panel sounds good. I would like to definitely be part of it but a recorded video as I already have one with WMDE and planning to submit another before the 12th deadline. Let me know how I can get involved.

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. -Andrew _______________________________________________ Wren mailing list -- wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wren-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wren mailing list -- wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wren-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org -- -Andrew Lih Author of The Wikipedia Revolution US National Archives Citizen Archivist of the Year (2016) Knight Foundation grant recipient - Wikipedia Space (2015) Wikimedia DC - Outreach and GLAM Previously: professor of journalism and communications, American University, Columbia University, USC --- Email: andrew(a)andrewlih.com WEB: https://muckrack.com/fuzheado PROJECT: Wikipedia Space: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WPSPACE -- -Andrew Lih Author of The Wikipedia Revolution US National Archives Citizen Archivist of the Year (2016) Knight Foundation grant recipient - Wikipedia Space (2015) Wikimedia DC - Outreach and GLAM Previously: professor of journalism and communications, American University, Columbia University, USC --- Email: andrew(a)andrewlih.com WEB: https://muckrack.com/fuzheado PROJECT: Wikipedia Space: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WPSPACE _______________________________________________ Wren mailing list -- wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wren-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org
