Strategic Aim 1 - Knowledge Equity

[edit]
  • Develop partnerships that increase access to underrepresented cultural heritage
  • Support the development of minority and indigenous language Wikipedias
  • Encourage new and existing partners to help tackle the gender gap on Wikimedia
  • Identify other areas of inequality and bias and create partnerships to help address these
  • Engage with volunteers and partners across the UK, widening the charity’s geographic reach
  • Diversify content producers by recruiting new editors from under-represented communities
  • Support the development of a more inclusive culture across the Wikimedia projects
  • Ensure that Wikimedia UK’s own policies and practices support diversity and inclusion

University of Edinburgh Library

This will be updated by Gavin Willshaw, Digitisation and Digital Engagement Manager, w/c 9th August.

Library and University Collections - Wikimedia internship

[edit]
  • The Wikimedia internship in Library and University Collections, Joshua Jackson, commenced on 31st May 2021 - with a 12 week position aimed at learning and writing a high-level report on best practice from other Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums engaging with Wikimedia to open up their collections.
  • This internships represent the first time that the Library and University Collections have opted to do a prolonged body of work exploring collaborating with the Wikimedia projects so the view is to have the internships (1) document workflows for using Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikisource (2) learn from best practice in GLAM institutions elsewhere and (3) write a detailed report for the library and university collections to engage in open practices as part of the strategy going forward.
  • Our Wikimedia intern for the Library and University Collections Joshua Jackson spent much of July learning more about the Wikimedia projects and exploring how other organisations have engaged with them. We created a survey for people working with Wikimedia at GLAMS (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) which to date has had 17 responses. Josh got in touch with respondents throughout July to set up interviews to further discuss how cultural heritage organisations can engage with Wikimedia.
  • Wikimedia and Libraries survey meetings (led by Joshua Jackson):
  1. Damon Querry
  2. Nick Sheppard
  3. Jens Bemme
  4. Crystal Clements
  5. James Taylor

Strategic Aim 2 - Digital Literacy

[edit]

Work with partners to develop digital, data and information literacy through Wikimedia

  • Support the education sector’s engagement with Wikimedia as a digital literacy tool
  • Facilitate Wikimedia-based digital, data and information literacy projects with other partners
  • Create content and resources for learners and educators
  • Advocate for the inclusion of Wikimedia in curriculum, syllabus and course development
  • Collaborate with the civil society sector and other partners to combat misinformation

Progress

[edit]

Wikimedia in the Curriculum

[edit]
  • Liaised with Professor Norah Spears that the Reproductive Biomedicine BSc Wikipedia assignment will continue for its 6th year in September 2021 and will be spread over three weeks with the hope of in-person working.
  • Confirmed with Michael Gallagher that a Wikipedia component will take place on the Digital Education MSc in January 2022.
  • Three to four new case studies to add to the Wikimedia in Education - Booklet of Case Studies for a new digital edition to be relaunched in 2022.
  • The Translation Studies MSc Wikipedia assignment concluded on 14th May 2021 with students peer assessing each other's newly published translations. This semester students have been invited to consider how best to support global understanding of black and postcolonial history through their 1,500-2,000 word translation assignment. This assignment is being reviewed for Semester One in session 2021/2022 and offered on an 'opt-in' basis.

Podcast on Wikimedia in education

[edit]
  • A podcast series recorded on the 24th of May for the University's influential Teaching Matters blog is being edited by a student intern this Summer. Topics discussed included: Wikipedia and History (1hr); Wikipedia and academia in the new normal(1hr); Wikipedia in 321 languages(1hr); Wikipedia, Medicine and Science Communication(30 mins); Wikipedia and the Gender Gap(30 mins). Professor Diana Paton, Translation Studies students, History Society students, Jason Evans, Lorna Campbell, Lucy Crompton-Reid, Prof Norah Spears, and Prof Linda Bauld all contributed.

Conferences

[edit]
  • Delivered two sessions at the LILAC Information Literacy online conference in July 2021, FestivIL of LILAC - one was a lightning talk on The Map of Scotland's Accused Witches Wikidata project and one was a 1hr masterclass workshop on Wikipedia as a learning and teaching environment. Neither talk was recorded but slides for the masterclass are here.
  • Had weak acceptance of abstract on Wikipedia in Translation based on the work conducted on the Translation Studies MSc for the December 2021 conference, Understanding Wikipedia’s Dark Matter: Translation and Multilingual Practice in the World’s Largest Online Encyclopedia. Need to revise and resubmit by end of August 2021.

Wikipedia at the University of Edinburgh

[edit]
  • Student interns, Clea Strathmann and Erin Boyle, will create a 3-5 minute video bh the end of their internships (27th August) introducing the 'how and why' of engaging with Wikipedia at the university (can we cite it? No. Can we write it? Yes.) for wide dissemination on student and course programme Facebook groups when they are settled in and thinking of starting their first assignments.

Research data and Wikidata

[edit]
  • Student intern Clea Strathmann has completed the importing of the Tower Block Archive project (images of Scottish social housing to Wikimedia Commons and associated rich metadata to Wikidata) data for Aberdeen's social housing. Clea will be documenting the process used so that all of Scotland's social housing can be completed and this documentation will be added to our Wikidata pages on the University of Edinburgh website.
  • Clea met with Dr. Zsusanna Vargas to discuss the dataset she wishes to have added to Wikidata in order to visualise the 700-900 books in the dataset and their place of publication. Zsusanna reached out to the resident on the basis of the Map of Accused Witches data project and wishes to do something similar. This should make for an interesting project for Open data and Knowledge Equity intern, Clea Strathmann.

Wikipedia Editing - a new Edinburgh Award

[edit]
  • The resident has submitted a new Edinburgh Award to accredit students for extended project work on Wikipedia as of October 2021 to March 2022. This would allow students to develop important information literacy, digital research, communication and collaborative skills ahead of the world of work and accredit them for undertaking 70-80 hours of Wikipedia work over an extended period. The first iteration is aimed to begin in October 2021 and has been negotiated in collaboration with Kirsty Stewart and Gavin McCabe at the University of Edinburgh Career Service and in collaboration with student interns, Erin Boyle and Clea Strathmann.
