Hi everyone, Just to share what we do at Wikimedia France.
Employees are allowed to edit Wikimedia Projects from personnal accounts. When they do as Wikimedia France employees, they use their "professional" accounts, that stays they're employed by WMFr. We do not look at what they do on their personal time with their personal account. The Wikimedia Project policies are there to prevent any bad behavior. We believe our role is to empower our local community. To help it meet-up, conceive projects and run projects. We want our employees to support local volunteers. If we want them to do that efficiently, we need them to understand what editing Wikimedia projects means. Moreover, I don't know how it is in other countries, but in France, as an employer, it is really hard to forbid an employee to do a specific activity on their free time.
