Wikimedia Affiliates

[edit]
Wikimedia movement affiliates model
Chapters
Wikimedia chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (in most cases, a country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently 39 chapters, with at least one on every inhabited continent., i.e. Wikimedia DC
Wikimedia thematic organizations
Thematic organizations are incorporated independent non-profits representing the Wikimedia movement and supporting work focused on a specific theme, topic, subject or issue within or across countries and regions. i.e., Wikimedia Medicine.
User groups
Wikimedia user groups are intended to be simple and flexible affiliates that are an alternative to chapters and thematic organizations - which require more formal requirements. User groups are highly valued as equal players in the Wikimedia movement, i.e., Art+Feminism

Sample conflict of interest statement for GLAM professionals

[edit]

GLAM professionals and WIkipedians-in-residence may improve Wikipedia using their organizations' resources while still complying with Wikipedia's policy on paid editing. COI-GLAM states that,

Museum curators, librarians, archivists, and similar are encouraged to help improve Wikipedia, or to share their information in the form of links to their resources. If a link cannot be used as a reliable source, it may be placed under further reading or external links if it complies with the external links guideline.

You must include a conflict of interest statement on your user page if planning to edit as part of your professional duties

Sample statement

About Me

I am a paid employee of XYZ Museum. We are working to make our resources more accessible to the public by working directly with Wikipedia.

Conflict of interest statement

I am editing Wikipedia as part of my official duties at the XYZ Museum. I will abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability. Because the mission of XYZ Museum/Organization is in line with Wikipedia's mission to disseminate knowledge, I will not make edits that I do not believe are in accordance with Wikipedia's practices and procedures. If you believe I have made an error or violated Wikipedia’s norms, please let me know.

Etherpad

[edit]

Please use this Etherpad to share what you are currently editing. This will help to avoid cross editing (two or more editors working on the same article simultaneously). Cross editing will cause you to lose your edits.

Remember to remove the article from the Etherpad list when you are finished.

Goals and tasks

[edit]

Improve Wikipedia's coverage of women who contribute/d to the Go-go genre by

  • Adding women band members to existing band articles
  • Creating new articles for bands with women members and notable individuals including musicians, managers, etc.
  • Uploading photos of shows, people, etc.

Suggested Article Work List

[edit]

This list is not at all complete. You may edit or create other Go-go related articles not included here.

Feel free to cite the content shared here via the external links included under these articles, the links in the 'Potential Sources' section, and any references in existing articles. You are also welcome to use any verifiable sources found on your own.

Draft articles have been started to allow new editors to contribute without being autoconfirmed. User accounts are autoconfirmed after four days or ten published edits. Confirmed used are permitted to start new articles.

Biographies of living people are highly scrutinized. For that reason, you are encouraged to locate at least three high-quality sources that address an individual's notability before starting a biographical article. In some cases, especially with women, the source material has not been published and therefore cannot be cited to support one's notability. If you cannot establish stand-alone notability, be sure to at least include individuals in band articles where appropriate.
