Wikimedians in residence

[edit]

A Wikipedian in residence or Wikimedian in residence (WiR) is a Wikipedia editor, a Wikipedian (or Wikimedian), who accepts a placement with an institution to facilitate Wikipedia entries related to that institution's mission, encourage and assist it to release material under open licences, and to develop the relationship between the host institution and the Wikimedia community.

Consumer Reports

[edit]

From 2012-2018 Consumer Reports employed Lane Rasberry user:bluerasberry as Wikimedian in Residence. The major objective for the project was supporting medical professional associations and medical schools in sharing their knowledge in Wikipedia. Activities including adding key messages from public health campaigns to Wikipedia as statements matched to sources, training of medical students to edit Wikipedia in the Wikipedia:Wikipedia education program in medicine, and adding safety information of various kinds from Consumer Reports in Wikipedia articles. The project was supported by Wikimedia New York City.
