A committee has created a proposal for enforcement guidelines, and is looking for feedback. This can be done on the draft review talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_draft_guidelines_review>, but there are also live events to share your thoughts: - Conversation hours <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/2021_consultations/Roundtable_discussions#Conversation_hours> - 24 August (today), 31 August, 7 September @ 03:00 UTC & 14:00 UTC - Roundtable calls <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/2021_consultations/Roundtable_discussions#Conversation_hours> - 18 September @ 03:00 UTC & 15:00 UTC Wikimedia UK will have some role in upholding UCoC, so your feedback is very welcome! *More information:* Dear all, I'm sharing the following update from the Wikimedia Foundation.

[Wikimediauk-l] WMUK scholarships to Wikimania 2016 - announcement!
Wikimedia UK is offering a small number of scholarships to support our community members to attend and contribute to Wikimania 2016 in Esino Lario. There are three scholarships of €500. A scholarship covers the €350 registration option (which includes accommodation for four days and travel to the conference from the airport in Italy), and travel to the conference from the UK for up to €150. We hope that this will enable the scholarship recipients to participate in the heart of the conference. Volunteer activity within the UK Wikimedia movement is the main criteria of eligibility. Volunteers who applied for the WMF scholarship but were unsuccessful can also apply. We will prioritise applicants who would not be able to fund their attendance themselves. The deadline for applying is 8th April and we aim to let you know by 15th April (Wikimania registration runs until 15th May). Please fill the form below to be considered for the scholarship. *https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org.uk/forms/d/1-gI0YVqkNUl5thof75vdNSK4FYgi3pYITsS6rp6KjKM/viewform* <https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org.uk/forms/d/1-gI0YVqkNUl5thof75vdNSK4FYgi3pYITsS6rp6KjKM/viewform> All the best, Daria -- Daria Cybulska - Head of Programmes and Evaluation, Wikimedia UK +44 (0) 207 065 0994 +44 7803 505 170 -- Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.

[Wikimediauk-l] Fwd: Contributing to articles on Wikipedia using materials at National Fairground Archive
Hi all, Have a look at the message from Rosa below - she's looking for some advice on contributing to Wikipedia relating to collections she is representing. If anyone is in the area and/or is interested in helping our, feel free to get in touch! It sounds like she's already done a fair amount of research, so may only need a bit of support. All the best, Daria -- Forwarded message -- From: Rosa Sadler <r.sad...@sheffield.ac.uk> Date: 23 September 2015 at 09:08 Subject: Contributing to articles on Wikipedia using materials at National Fairground Archive To: g...@wikimedia.org.uk Dear GLAM UK, I am a member of staff in the Library at the University of Sheffield. The National Fairground Archive is based within the Library and we are interested in using our subject knowledge and collections to contribute to Wikipedia articles relating to this area. We understand the policy about not contributing original research and would not be doing this. I have looked at your pages on Wikipedia and have seen the information about Wikipedia projects and Wikimedians in residence and I want to ask: is it a requirement that we be part of a project with a pre-existing Wikimedian or is it ok for members of staff here to become editors and make contributions independently? Would this be seen as a conflict of interest? We would, of course, be using individual accounts and obeying the guidelines for editors. Our aim in contributing would be to make information about this area more available to the public by adding to articles and to provide links (in citations) to our collections so that the general public can further benefit from them. I am interested to hear whether this kind of activity would be acceptable to the Wikipedia community and as such I look forward to your response.

I would be happy to give either you or Andy the Account creator right if you want it, that isn't as newbie friendly as being able to create accounts themselves, but it bypasses that throttle. The other throttles I can help with are that newbies are liable to face a capcha when they try to add links, and if you structure your workshop in such a way that you get to say all hit enter now you will find that six newbies successfully edit and the rest get their edit throttled. Both can be mitigated by setting participants as confirmed users - email me any user names you learn in advance and I can sort that out for you.

[Wikimediauk-l] Volunteering opportunity - Diversity events
Dear all, * One of Wikimedia UK's aims is to teach underrepresented groups how to edit Wikipedia and develop underrepresented content (e.g. Women in Science). Wikimedia UK has been running 'Women in Science' editathons for several years. In 2013 our editathons http://www.centenary.mrc.ac.uk/events/mrcroyal-societywikimedia-uk-women-in-science-wikipedia-edit-a-thons/ received extremely positive responses from the attendees and in general. The events were delivered in partnerships with other organisations who host them and invite people from their networks to attend. They are also made possible thanks to support of volunteer trainers. During 2013 we have been getting many more enquiries that we were able to assist with, and would now like to explore these opportunities. * *We are now looking for a volunteer who would be interested in supporting organisation and delivery of 2014 Women in Science events (possibly to link with Ada Lovelace celebrations in October). This would suit someone sympathetic to the issues of gender gap and interested in event organisation. It's estimated the project would take place over September-November, requiring 10-20 hours a week of time. * *Anyone interested or wanting to find out more please contact Daria by 28th July. * *Many thanks, * *Daria* -- Daria Cybulska - Programme Manager, Wikimedia UK +44 (0) 207 065 0994 +44 7803 505 170 -- Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.

[Wikimediauk-l] Scholarships for UK based attendees of AdaCamp Berlin 2014
Hi All, AdaCamp http://adacamp.org/ is a conference dedicated to increasing women’s participation in open technology and culture. It brings women together to build community, share skills, discuss problems with open tech/culture communities that affect women, and find ways to address them. It has been taking place for several years in the US and Australia, but in 2014 it is coming to Europe for the first time. The Berlin AdaCamp will be October 11-12, 2014 at the Wikimedia Deutschland https://wikimedia.de/wiki/Hauptseite offices. It will also focus strongly on the Wikimedia community in particular. It is a valuable opportunity for UK Wikimedians to attend a focused event (of only about 50 attendees) where we will focus on learning practical things and planning future projects. If you have experience in open tech/culture, experience or knowledge of feminism and advocacy and the ability to collaborate with others, you should apply! We would like to help build a community of UK Wikimedians supporting women in open tech/culture – especially Wikimedia projects – and for that reason we are offering scholarships for UK applicants. To learn more about the event visit their website http://berlin.adacamp.org/. To read about the application process and find out how to receive a scholarship, please visit this page http://berlin.adacamp.org/apply/.

This guide, along with other outputs from the Jisc Spotlight on the Digital project has now been published. For an overview of all the work from the project this blog post from David Prosser (Director of Research Libraries UK) gives a good overview http://www.jisc.ac.uk/blog/action-on-discoverability-03-jun-2014 Paola Marchionni has also posted a link to all the Spotlight on the Digital recommendations and output at http://digitisation.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2014/06/03/spotlight-on-the-digital-final-recommendations-and-outputs/ The guide itself is available at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/make-your-digital-resources-easier-to-discover The guide covers a wide range of approaches to making digital resources easier to discovery. Each approach is linked back to research on how users search and discover digital resources (summarised at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/how-do-users-find-your-content), as well as linking to organisation strategic aims as identified by university libraries (some of which maybe shared by museums, but clearly there are some differences here).

See a draft agenda below. This is a really good opportunity to talk about using Wikipedia in Science communication to the right audience.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Community consultation on WMUK's Wikimedia in Residence programme
Good points here, many thanks! I thought it would help to provide some explanations to the discussion here: - Yes there were residencies that are not taken into considerations here. We wanted to consider the residencies that had institutions in significant cooperation with the chapter, the BL being in the grey area. It was felt it's an important case to consider though. - Mike is offering good points for additional aspects that could be considered. If anyone has thoughts that go beyond the survey's questions, please do email me! Otherwise, it would be great to have more people contributing to the survey. Many thanks again, Daria On 9 March 2014 10:19, HJ Mitchell hjmitch...@ymail.com wrote: I agree with Mike, but I would add that it's good that the chapter is seeking input on this sort of thing.

You've missed out a couple of years of history there - British Museum, Derby, ARKive... As promised to Richard offlist, I've just gone through the survey and filled it in. There were a number of questions that were rather odd in their phrasing or allowed answers though. For example: Question 2: these were all very general questions (e.g. asking about the lengths of WiRs and their benefits to the community) that could only be answered 'Not at all', 'Moderately' and 'Completely'. I went for 'moderately' for all of these as there wasn't really anything to completely disagree or agree with here - e.g. length of residencies, it's not clear whether saying 'Completely' would indicate support of 3-month or 1-year residencies. Questions 5 and 6: these are nearly impossible to answer as a 'select 3' question. Having a ranked answer here would be much more effective. I was also expecting to see more questions on topics like 'what are the most important aspects and outcomes of a successful WiR project?', 'how would you like to be involved in future WiR projects?' and 'how can WiR projects better engage volunteers?'. My main suggestion would be: please share drafts of surveys like this on-wiki and ask for feedback on them before starting to ask for answers to them!

This will take place on the weekend of 23—24 November 2013 in Cardiff. This session is targeted at volunteers in Wales and the immediate surrounding areas. We are especially interested in editors of Wicipedia Cymraeg who work through the Welsh language. However, both English and Welsh language editors will be welcomed. The workshop will be delivered by a professional training company and aims to improve delegates’ abilities to deliver any training workshop. It’s especially relevant to anybody who already runs Wikimedia-related training, or is very interested in doing so in near future. The workshop is a chance to: - Get accredited and receive detailed feedback about your presenting and training skills - Get general trainer skills which you can then apply when delivering specific Wikipedia workshops - Share your skills with others - Help design a training programme that serves Wikimedia UK in the long term. The course will run from 9:30 am—6:30pm on Saturday and 9am—5pm on Sunday. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. We should also be able to cover travel and accommodation if you let us know in advance. If you are interested in attending, please indicate your commitment by signing up on https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Training_the_Trainers/November_2013_event. Spaces are limited to 12 places. If you are not able to attend this time but would like to take part in the future, please add it to the event page or let me know by email to katie.c...@wikimedia.org.uk — we will be offering more sessions in the future.

Dear All, Would anyone be interested in submitting a paper for the Museum Metamorphosis conference? The deadline is 31 May. It would be interesting to have a representation at the event. Do get in touch with the office if we can help. Regards, Daria -- Daria Cybulska - Programme Manager, Wikimedia UK +44 (0) 207 065 0994 +44 7803 505 170 -- Museum Metamorphosis The Adaptable and Changing Museum Tuesday 5— Wednesday 6 November 2013 A Two-Day Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Conference hosted by the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester, in partnership with Leicester Arts Museums Service This conference seeks to explore the phenomenon of metamorphosis — or change — in the museum. Museums are often perceived to arrest time, or go beyond it, yet they are not fixed or static entities. It has often been claimed that in order to become meaningful, museums should change by addressing and responding to the needs of society. Is this the case? Museum Metamorphosis —The Adaptable and Changing Museum will be the fifth conference organised by the PhD community at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester, and follows last year's highly successful Museum Utopias. AIMS AND TOPICS We aim to discuss and share ideas on some of the most seminal issues in museums today. Papers addressing the following themes and questions are encouraged, but we also welcome new suggestions and creative proposals. • How might we define metamorphosis in the context of the museum? • Metamorphosis is a concept that resonates across many disciplines, from biology and geology to literary studies. How can such different conceptions of metamorphosis be harnessed in order to consider change in the museum? • How do museums deal with resistance to change, both internally and externally? • What are some of the opportunities and/or risks arising from constant and never-ending change in the museum? • Historically, how has the museum changed from its early inception? • What organisational changes have museum institutions implemented, and how has the museum profession responded to these? • How have digital and other technological trends impacted upon the way we conceive museums and the ways in which museums relate to their communities? • Have collections and displays been made relevant for contemporary audiences? If so, how? If not, why not? • How have museological concepts such as learning, interpretation and collection adapted to new contexts? • How, and to what extent, are new trends in exhibition-making creating the museum anew? How have museum-making processes changed? • How can we describe changing understandings of museum space? • How has our knowledge of the complex range of visitor experiences shifted? What impact has this had? • How are museums used to create identity on different levels, and how are museums' identities created in turn by the communities they serve? • To what extent are museums an instrument for social change, and to what extent is change forced upon them? • How can museums explore and reflect contemporary discussions in society? WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? The conference team welcomes all postgraduate students and early career researchers, as well as professionals who are interested in and researching topics related to the museum field. All disciplines and nationalities are invited to participate. FORMAT AND STYLE OF PRESENTATIONS We welcome and encourage alternative presentational styles, besides the traditional paper. Workshops, panel debates, creative writing and film, installations, visual creations and displays will all be considered. Presenters will have 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes Q A) to deliver their papers. Workshops and panel debates will be up to 60 minutes in duration. ABSTRACTS Abstracts should include the following information: 1) title of abstract 2) author(s)' name and contact information 3) biography (max. 100 words) 4) format and style of presentation 5) abstract of no more than 250 words 6) optional: up to two jpg images, each under 2MB, to complement your proposal Abstracts should be sent by email to Sarah Hughes, Conference Secretary, by midnight GMT on 31 May 2013, to msphdc...@gmail.com.

- Subject: Seeking panellists for a women in technology event! The third Tech Talkfest event is taking place at 6.30pm on Monday 25th February at Shoreditch House, London. The theme is 'Women in Technology and Gaming' and they are currently seeking one more panelist. You would be part of a four person panel. They would like you to give a 10 minute talk on stories and tips from your career that would be helpful to people who want to achieve what you have. This could include things you learnt that helped to turn your career around, challenges that seemed insurmountable that you overcame, ways that you dealt with common issues (managing childcare/maternity, gaining skills in a new area, how to present yourself for promotion/interview) or anything else that you think is useful. Each panellist will speak for 10 minutes and then they will open it to the floor for questions. The total length will be 60 minutes. You could stay for networking later. They're looking for two more successful women in working technology or gaming, preferably in startups or small companies.

I have created a simple page with the details: * http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Institute_for_Cancer_Research_Wikipedia_training_2012 * If you would like to help run this session, please do sign up on the page or let me know.

Dear all, Parkinson's UK has contacted Wikimedia UK with a request to have a introductory Wikipedia training run for them on Thursday* 11 October*, 10am-4pm, London. They have found out about us after hearing about the Cancer Research collaboration, and were inspired to also help Wikipedia in the field of their expertise.

[Wikimediauk-l] Ada Lovelace Day organised by Wikimedia UK - 19 October 2012, London
Dear all, It's Ada Lovelace Day on 16 October and it's most suitable for Wikimedia UK to get involved. The day exists to celebrate the contributions of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. As you may know, Ada Lovelace is considered the first programmer, due to her work on Charles Babbage's analytical engine. As such, she's someone we can very much hold up as a role model. Wikimedia UK is organising a Women in Science themed editing event for Ada Lovelace Day on* Friday 19 October* 2012 and would like to invite you to attend! We have organised a group 'Edit-a-thon' to improve Wikipedia articles about women in science, held at the Royal Society's library, London, 2:30-6pm. We had a very high response from the academic community, and we filled many more spaces than expected! However, there are still a couple of places free for people who would like to help train new contributors - please get in touch if you are interested. There will also be opportunities to get involved online, which we will publish at our Wikimedia UK event's pagehttp://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace_Day_2012(see below). Following the Edit-a-thon there will be an panel discussion with Uta Frith from the Royal Society and other female scientists on women in science (the focus will be much broader than just the representation of the topic on Wikipedia). The panel discussion will take place from* 6:30pm - 8:00pm, *and you are most welcome to attend - there are still free places available, so please feel free to register here *http://royalsociety.org/events/2012/wikipedia-workshop/* Wikimedia UK also has a page for the event, which you can see here http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace_Day_2012 Hope to see many of you there.

She is just getting her email and account set up (hasina.kha...@wikimedia.org.uk), but in the meantime here is a hello message from her: * My first day at Wikimedia and i have to say i am very excited. I have just finished my role as a Gamesmaker during the Paralympics, which was a truely amazing experience. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to be involved in such a big event. I am now ready to be in work mode and keen to start my internship with Wikimedia. * * I have just graduated this summer, I studied Politics at Middlesex University and have had experience in many political institues such as Parliament, The London Assembly and a Think Tank Called Demos. Having experience from my past internships, I am really interested to see how Wikimedia function as a charity and still have such a big impact on spreading information just as successfully. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible - just this week I am planning to attend the GLAMcamp in London. * Best, Daria -- Daria Cybulska - Events Organiser, Wikimedia UK +44 (0) 207 065 0994 +44 7803 505 170 -- Wikimedia UK is the operating name of Wiki UK Limited, a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.

[Wikimediauk-l] Wikimedia UK training for the charities in our office - 27/09/12 - we need more trainers
Dear All, Wikimedia UK is located in a building that we are sharing with ca. 20 other charities. In May we delivered a short presentation to them talking about Wikimedia UK and Wikipedia, and there was a lot of interest in learning to edit. This would be particularly interesting as the charities in the building all tackle very different issues, so their interests will be quite varied. I am setting up a drop-in style editing event in our office on Thursday 27 September, 11am - 4pm, and it would be great if you could attend to give 1-1 introduction sessions to anyone that will be interested in learning. For more information and to sign up please visit * http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ethical_Properties_Wikipedia_Workshop/September_event * We have promoted the event on the building's mailing list and a couple of charities have signed up already, so it would be great to have one or two more trainers signed up. We would be able to reimburse reasonable travel and lunch costs.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimedia UK will have interns over the next three months
Thanks for the comments and useful notes about the internship. I can assure you that we all share coffee making duties in the office, and hopefully have created an encouraging atmosphere where Isabelle can get involved in new and exciting projects. She has also attended the London Wikimeet to get to know some of our volunteers. We will be doing end of the Internship feedback session, together with a blog post so you can all find out how the internship went. We are also having another intern starting on 10 September which we are all looking forward to.

I've not been an intern but I did two bouts of work experience at school age and my times at both were appallingly rotten experiences. So please try to avoid: 1. Giving them too many trips to the coffee making facilities (making refreshments is an OK thing to get an intern to do, but please make them one every now and again and please don't make them feel that refreshments is their key role). 2. Please find interesting things for them to do. If the office is busy there may be a temptation to think well, in the time it takes me to train the intern to do this, I could have done it myself. But the intern is there to develop skills. So please teach them some cool stuff, It would also be great if people would make an effort to drop by the office and chat to the intern on a friendly basis. Is there a plan for the intern to fill in feedback about her time there? It would be good for WMUK to know what she thinks and to feed that back for when the next intern is present. Don't know whether Isabelle is going to see this (is she on the mailing list now?) but if so: hello! I hope you have a fulfilling time.

Dear All, Wikimedia UK is located in a building that we are sharing with ca. 20 other charities. In May we delivered a short presentation to them talking about Wikimedia UK and Wikipedia, and there was a lot of interest in learning to edit. This would be particularly interesting as the charities in the building all tackle very different issues, so their interests will be quite varied. I am setting up a drop-in style editing event in our office on Thursday 27 September, 11am - 4pm, and it would be great if you could attend to give 1-1 introduction sessions to anyone that will be interested in learning. For more information and to sign up please visit * http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ethical_Properties_Wikipedia_Workshop/September_event * We would be able to reimburse reasonable travel and lunch costs.

[Wikimediauk-l] Wikimedia UK will have interns over the next three months
Dear All, Wikimedia UK will have an intern in the office working with us for 6 weeks over the Summer (as per http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Summer_intern). Some of you had a chance to meet Isabelle at the London meetup on Sunday. She is just getting her email and account set up, but in the meantime here is a hello message from her: *Hello! It's Isabelle here, the new intern at Wikimedia UK. I'm a 22 year-old originally from Shropshire, just graduated from King's College London where I studied French. I'm thrilled to be spending the next six weeks in the office, getting an insight into all the exciting projects that are happening and assisting the team with all manner of things, and I look forward to meeting as many volunteers as possible while I'm here. As a newcomer to the Wikimedia movement I feel I've got a lot to learn as well as to contribute, but surrounded by such knowledgeable people I'm sure it's going to be a very fun process, and one that will speed by... So I'd better get to work! * We will have another intern starting early September, so I am sure you will hear from both of them more soon.

[Wikimediauk-l] WMUK merchandise
Dear All, I am planning on ordering Wikimedia UK branded lanyards, polo shirts and notepads to be used at events. If you would like to send across any ideas concerning the design of these, then please do send them here - ideally by 3 August. Polo shirts: - These would be stitched on, so the smaller design the better. I have seen a couple of chapters having the polo shirts with just the Wikimedia... logo in the upper left corner, and that looked quite professional. As for the lanyard: - 4 colour print on one side - Another option would be to only use one colour, which is much cheaper As for the notebook, a cost effective way would be to have: - A5 Wirebound Book with 350gsm Card Cover - Cover printed 4 colour (allowing for Wikimedia UK logo) - 50 insert sheets printed 1 colour both sides The bigger quantity I order, the cheaper the items get, so it is best if the merchandise designed is of general character and not geared towards a specific event. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

[Wikimediauk-l] Anybody interested in presenting on Wikipedia? (Edinburgh 2nd July 4-6pm)
Dear All, Physiological Society is having an annual conference on 3-5 July in * Edinburgh*. They are giving Wikipedia a slot on *Monday 2 July 4-6pm*. They would like to have an introductory presentation and some examples of how articles have been edited to show to the attendees of the conference. It would be a presentation more than a workshop because of the time constraints. The idea is to use this session to promote an actual training event to happen later on in the year in London and make attendees feel confident to make small edits and corrections to articles. The projected attendance for this presentation is quite small (10 people max). Brian McNeil is potentially doing the presentation, but is there anybody else interested in case he is unavailable? Due to the location and the small scale of the event this would be a good opportunity for somebody with easy transport links to Edinburgh. Please do let me know if you are interested.

[Wikimediauk-l] GLAM-WIKI conference 2012 - get involved!
Dear all, Wikimedia UK is planning to run the GLAM-WIKI Conference on Friday 14 - Saturday 15 September at the British Library in London. This is a global GLAM conference hosted by the UK chapter. We are linking with the British Library with the support of other chapters and the WMF in terms of volunteer support and scholarships. The intention is to attract Wikimedians to share their GLAM related experience and professionals to address the GLAM community. The idea of the day will be similar to the 2010 event (http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI_2010). It would be great if you could join the discussions on how to shape the event. To get involved, please visit http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI-2012 Please have a look at the page and feel free to add your ideas! It's early stages of the planning and we are open to creative solutions. You can also get in touch with us if you have any questions - please email f...@wikimedia.org.uk or daria.cybul...@wikimedia.org.uk. You can also reach the Wikimedia UK office on 0207 065 0990.
