What’s a Wikimedian-in-Residence?
A Wikimedian-in-Residence (aka, a Wikipedian-in-Residence) is a Wikipedia editor working within an institution (such as a university, library, or museum) to facilitate the sharing of mission-related information to Wikipedia, while at the same time encouraging and assisting in the open sharing of information from that institution to a broader public via Wikipedia. In this way, both the institution and the broader public benefit from the free access to fact-based information.
Where do I start?
Whether you’re wiki-curious, an experienced Wikipedian, or anything in-between, just drop in (and bring your questions and ideas) to Wiki-Wednesdays on Zoom (last Wednesday of the month at 11 am). Or check out Wiki-Happenings for the latest in-person / virtual events. Either way, we hope to see you soon!
Does the Wikimedian-in-Residence project offer paid student internships or faculty fellowships?
Yes! More information is coming soon, so please check back.
I have a Wikimedia classroom project, and I’m stuck. Can CUNY’s Wikimedian-in-Residence help? How?
Yes! Contact CUNY’s Wikimedian-In-Residence directly to schedule classroom visits, share ideas, and further explore wiki-collaborations.
