> *Joint statement from Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia UK
> *
> Over the past six months, a Wikimedia UK trustee led two Wikipedia-related
> projects, Monmouthpedia and Gibraltarpedia, in a way that seemed to some
> observers to blur his roles as a Wikimedia UK trustee, a paid consultant
> for the projects’ government partners, and an editor of the English
> Wikipedia. This raised questions in the Wikimedia community about whether a
> trustee was able to balance appropriately the interests of his clients with
> his responsibilities to Wikimedia UK, the values and editorial policies of
> Wikipedia, and whether any conflict of interest that arose as a result was
> effectively managed.
>
> To better understand the facts and details of these allegations and to
> ensure that governance arrangements commensurate with the standing of the
> Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia UK and the worldwide Wikimedia movement,
> Wikimedia UK’s trustees and the Wikimedia Foundation will jointly appoint
> an independent expert advisor to objectively review both Wikimedia UK’s
> governance arrangements and its handling of the conflict of interest.
>
> The review will consider Wikimedia UK’s current governance arrangements,
> current internal policies, such as the Trustee Code of Conduct, the Nolan
> Committee Requirements, the Conflicts of Interest policy, the Representing
> Wikimedia UK policy, any other relevant policies of Wikimedia UK, and best
> ethical practices.
>
> Considering specifically the conflict of interest, we will ask the expert
> advisor to identify any gaps between how the conflict of interest situation
> within Wikimedia UK would ideally have been handled and how it actually was
> handled, and to recommend how situations such as this should be managed in
> the future. The review will also touch on any activities that may have
> blurred work as a paid consultant with work as a Wikipedia editor, but
> recommendations for changes to Wikipedia’s policies and practices will be
> outside its scope: we leave the broader topic of reviewing Wikipedia’s
> editorial policies to the community.
>
> Once the review is completed, it will be reviewed by both the Wikimedia
> Foundation and Wikimedia UK and then published.
>
> At the same time, Wikimedia UK has agreed with the Wikimedia Foundation
> that the Foundation shall process payments for the United Kingdom during
> this year’s fundraiser.
>
> Wikimedia UK has the benefit of legal and professional advice to assist in
> understanding and handling conflicts of interests. The goal of both
> organizations in carrying out this review, and Wikimedia UK’s in deciding
> to absent itself from the 2012 fundraising campaign as a payment processor,
> is to demonstrate that we mutually recognize the importance of handling
> conflicts well beyond simple requirements of the law. We understand our
> responsibilities to you: the members of Wikimedia UK and the Wikimedia
> movement, its donors, editors, and readers.
