Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedian in Residence at ORCID

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
With some regularity the {{authority control}} usage is mined for data
missing in Wikidata. Once it is, references can be taken away in
Wikipedia... and as far as I know this happens as well.

For Victor Anatolyevich Vassiliev for instance there is nothing in
en.Wikipedia about ORCID.
Thanks,
 GerardM

One of the things I'll be working on with the ORCID team is to make it
easier for people with Wikipedia bios, to declare that on their ORCID
profile. We can then gather them, from the data dump.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] "Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms"

[Kevin Gorman]

Hi Pine -

It's worth noting that although Bill was one of the primary architects of
this and deserves quite a bit of credit for that imho, it has effects far
beyond just him and his own clients.  There's an awful lot of big PR firms
on the list of participating agencies, including Edelman,
Burson-Marsteller, FleishmanHillard, and Ogilvy. A significant chunk of the
US-based PR industry has signed on to this - I think one of the more
interesting questions in coming months will be figuring out whether or not
we actually have the volunteer bandwidth to have a significant chunk of the
PR industry playing by our current rules.

Best,
Kevin Gorman

I appreciate this, WWB, especially after the grilling I gave you about
proposed edits to the Hedge fund article! The fact that you and your
clients are persistent, willing to be open about your associations, and
willing to abide by Wikimedia's CoI's standards even if it makes adding

Thanks Anasuya and to the FDC AG. These points make sense to me as someone
who's actively talking with fellow Wikimedians about forming a Wikimedia

Goodness, what happened on Wikimedia-l today? So many good things were

[Wikimedia-l] FW: Integration Wikipedia into primary and secondary schools in Serbia

And forwarding more education good news, this time an announcement that was

Subject: [Wikimedia Education] Integration Wikipedia into primary and
secondary schools in Serbia

Hello everyone!
I am honored to inform you that several months of integrating Wikipedia
into primary and secondary schools in Serbia has finally paid off!

After the Ministry has prescribed that from September 2014 all students of
the second year of secondary school curriculum *must study wiki tools*,
Institute for the Improvement of knowledge and education has included a
course on Wikipedia in its catalog of programs of continuous professional
development of teachers, professors and other school personnel. We got
accreditation for two years. Not a lot applicants got accreditation.

This course will start in December.

first challenge we successfully crossed :) next will come.

I started writing blog post about this and hope it will be ready on 20
June.

If you have some questions I will be happy to answer you :)

Wikimedia Israel Agree On New, Unique Initiative

)

An agreement was met in a meeting between Rabbi Shai Piron, Israel’s
Education Minister, Jan-Bart de Vreede, Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation
Board of Trustees, Itzik Edri, Chair of the Wikimedia Israel Board and
Michal Lester, Executive Director of Wikimedia Israel, regarding a shared
cooperation with Wikimedia Israel in the framework of the ministry’s school
curricula in the coming years. Through the planned cooperation, history,
geography and science teachers will receive special professional training
to instruct students on how to contribute to new or incomplete Wikipedia
articles for which information is lacking or inadequate.

The Education Ministry will also examine the possibility of integrating
Wikipedia writing assignments in the teaching of research and community
involvement. They will also consider having students who speak additional
languages (primarily English and Russian) write Wikipedia articles about
Israel in those particular languages.

Education Minister Rabbi Shai Piron said, “It is important to us that the
education system in Israel leads in innovation and cooperating with
Wikipedia is a wonderful opportunity to think outside the box and enable
students in Israel to do things that make a difference from which others
can also benefit.”

Jan-Bart de Vreede, Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
said, “Israel is today among the leading countries in the integration of
Wikipedia in the education system and academia. I hope our joint work model
will also serve as an example to other education systems around the world.”

In the framework of cooperation that is already in place between Wikimedia
Israel and the Ministry of education, several pilot projects are being
conducted. The projects involve teacher training in good Wikipedia usage,
article composition, Wikipedia article writing by gifted high school
students and the teaching of proper Wikipedia usage to elementary
schoolchildren. It is worth mentioning that through cooperation with
academics in a variety of universities and colleges throughout Israel,
hundreds of articles are written each year by students in courses. Thus
students write Wikipedia articles as part of their degrees, sometimes even
in lieu of exams or final papers. The Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv
University recently conducted a special 2-credit course on the subject of
Wikipedia and medicine.

Survey results published last week as part of Wikipedia Academy 2014 Israel
revealed that 84% of the Israeli public relies heavily on Wikipedia and 74%
say that it provides all the information they need. Over one third of the
population expressed interest in learning to write for Wikipedia.
