''there are a couple of trained Wikipedia editors among the staff of each
state/territory library now,''
you sure about that, it would be usefull to know if that is verifiable
(do you have a citation with that?)
NSW, VIC, ACT, QLD may indeed be the centre of the universe,
its just havent heard who they are in WA or TAS for instance
would be useful to know who how why what etc

On Friday, user:Aliaretiree and user:Rubicon49bce (Mylee and Katherine from
the State Library of NSW) and myself did a full-day training workshop at
the National Library for representatives of each of the other State
Libraries in Australia. This is part of the project to write articles about
digitised newspapers in Trove. The event was under the auspices of the
annual 'Australian Newspapers Plan' consortium meeting (a committee of all
the state libraries to coordinate their newspaper collecting/preservation).

This training session was significant not only in terms of the fact that
there are a couple of trained Wikipedia editors among the staff of each
state/territory library now, but also because this was the culmination of
the SLNSW Wikipedia project (which included the Wikipedian In Residence
with user:Whiteghost.ink earlier in the year). The project was always
hoping to be able to develop enough skill and confidence within the
SLNSWthat editing WP became part of 'business as usual' for their
staff, and
that they could then train other state libraries too. So, to sit up the
back of the room and watch two of my former 'students' deliver their own WP
training day was brilliant!
Thanks especially to user:99of9 (Toby, also one of the original
SLNSWtrainers) for helping out remotely during the day and over the
weekend in
ensuring the articles we created were given the once-over and all our new
users were welcomed.
You can see the practical results of the day, in terms of new users and new
articles created, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
:GLAM/State_Library_of_New_South_Wales/NSLA_Training_November_2013#Trainees
[note there are two articles currently sitting in the 'articles for
creation' queue and one is currently being debated for deletion. If people
could weigh in on those that would be helpful].
Sincerely,
-Liam / Wittylama
p.s.
On a side note - here at the NLA we just had a public guest talk by user:
edsu (Ed Summers) from the Library of Congress. He spent basically the
entire time talking about how good wikipedia was and why GLAM-Wiki was
really important, and showing off some of the visualisation tools he's
created to demonstrate that - such as Linkypedia
http://wikistream.wmflabs.org/
and Wikistream http://wikistream.wmflabs.org/
You don't often get a better endorsement than that!
