Feedback from Andreas Kolbe

edit

These are beautifully done, and it would be good to seem them displayed in lots of other places, starting with those mentioned (British Museum etc.).

When I looked at the banners at the National Archives, I spotted three typos I couldn't edit.  

  • Introducing Wikipedia: "Wiktionary as free dictionary" (this was probably intended to read "Wiktionary, a free dictionary," or "Wiktionary as a free dictionary")
  • Should we trust Wikipedia: "Edited my multiple, diverse users" (should read "Edited by multiple, diverse users")
  • Commons multimedia: "... do not allow for free reporduction" (should read "... do not allow for free reproduction")

These are currently still in the files displayed overleaf, and if more banners are produced in the future, it might be just as well to fix them. --Andreas JN466 12:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ideas for future displays

edit

Medicine

edit

How reliable are the medicine articles

What WiR partnerships there have been

  • Cochrane
  • NIOSH

The Wikipedia Library

edit

TWL vs OA, partnerships that we've had, how it's used

Wikidata

edit

One specifically about Wikidata

Knowledge Equity

edit

A panel could discuss some of the Strategy 2030 issues with knowledge equity - what stories and major areas of knowledge are we missing, and how are we addressing those gaps?

Gender gap

edit

While this could be part of the knowledge equity panel, we have so much work in this area that a standalone panel is warranted. Some of the things it could include:

  • Statistics on the gender gap in different Wikimedia projects
  • Women in Red project
  • Women scientists and who is breaking ground (Jess Wade, Emily Temple-Wood, et al)
  • Affiliates - Art and Feminism, WikiDonne
  • GLAM projects - Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative Wikimedia effort
