[Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian in Residence: Staffordshire Archive Heritage Service
[note cross-posting] I am pleased to share with you the news that I shall be Wikipedian in Residence with Staffordshire Archive Heritage Service, here in the English Midlands, from mid-November (part-time). This is a pilot project. I will be working with number of Staffordshire museums, to increase staff awareness of Wikipedia, train them to edit, and make recommendations for future public engagement (e.g. editathons), as well as planning a larger project to follow. I shall create a Wikipedia project page once I am in post. Naturally, I hope that the use of QRpedia, and the release of some media under an open licence, will feature. I hope you share my pleasure in looking forward to this promising project. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikipedian in Residence: Staffordshire Archive Heritage Service
Hi Andy, thanks a lot for the announcement. Please forgive me the lazy and perhaps silly question, but what exactly does ' heritage service' in this context refer to? I'm not looking for an elaborate definition, but rather whether it is primarily physical stored heritage (small objects), buildings or intangible heritage.

'heritage service' is a bureaucratic way of saying they manage the county's museums. On 31 October 2012 15:51, Lodewijk lodew...@effeietsanders.org wrote: Hi Andy, thanks a lot for the announcement.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Media training available for volunteers
Hi Andy, Thank you for your email. I'm glad you like the look of the course. I designed it with the training provider to meet the needs of volunteers who may speak with the media from time to time because of their programming work. I'm not sure what you mean regarding accreditation for trainers I'm afraid - could you clarify please? Not attending won't prevent a volunteer from speaking with the media. It's about empowerment, not restriction. Attending will enhance the skills and confidence of volunteers in dealing with the media, and make them more effective in their use of the media and promotion of their work. Of course, the office is here to support volunteers in that as well! I do hope this helps but am happy to answer any other questions people may have. Do please remember that places are limited.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Media training available for volunteers
Thank you for the clarification. There are no plans to introduce a group known as accredited spokespeople or anything like that. As I say, not attending won't mean we'll ask you not to speak with the media - I'm not looking to restrict anyone's voluntary activities, but support them. That said, I do think it is useful for anyone who speaks with the media who isn't trained to seriously consider taking advantage of this opportunity if they can. From my point of view, it's obviously better and more effective for those dealing with the media to be trained - but it isn't a requirement.
