Reflections and achievements from the past year[edit]

The residency has been working collaboratively with an ever increasing number of student societies (History Society, Women in STEM Society), and course leaders (Dr. Glaire Anderson, Professor Diana Paton were new collaborators in 2020/2021 with Glaire expanding her work in 2022) while Dr. Evelyn Balsells and Dr. Agnes Stefansdottir were new collaborators in 2021/2022 and departments across the university (Staff Pride Network, the Centre for Research Collections, Creative Informatics), along with a number of institutions across the city (HIV Scotland), and continuing to spread word of the Edinburgh residency with a number of high profile academics (Professor Linda Bauld, Prof Melissa Terras, Dr Zsusanna Vargas, Prof Julian Goodare, Professor Devi Sridhar) and in a number of conferences: LILAC (2021 and 2022), OER (2021), UoE Learning and Teaching conference (2021 and 2022), and more.
This has now included working with Library & University Collections team in a more strategic fashion through working with Digitisation and Digital Engagement Manager, Gavin Willshaw, colleagues in Digital Scholarship like Lisa Otty (not this year but working with Prof Melissa Terras and Nicola Osborne at Creative Informatics), and employing three more Wikimedia student interns in the last calendar year. Two in Summer 2021 and another two in Summer 2022 so this work is expanding.
The success of the Wikidata Map of Accused Witches in Scotland website has garnered a lot of notice locally, nationally and internationally as a model for opening up research datasets for further research and inquiry esp. when it is done as part of teaching and learning to support students’ understanding of data science. This project has led directly to the Mapping the Scottish Reformation project (an ongoing collaboration) with partners at Newman University, Birmingham, and Washington & Lee University, USA. It has also led to a nascent project as of June 2021 with Dr. Zsusanna Vargas on a project to visualise a map of places of publication for 700-900 books. Didn’t materialise in the end but the work supporting the Places of Worship in Scotland database team and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum database team is looking as if it may bear fruit in addition to Lukas Engelmann working with Daniel Mietchen and installing his own Wikibase instance to document to History of 20th century epidemiology. There is a sense of a growing appetite for providing more training for Wikidata work to support research datasets as certain research grants specify that research outputs be made openly available.
Wikipedia Women in Red work is included in the university’s Athena Swan action plan and we have continued with monthly online Women in Red workshops in light of the pandemic and the need for social distancing. The Wikipedia editing workship or ‘editathon’ has proven to be a model which has been shown can work well which switching to remote participation. The question is whether it should continue as remote or return to in-person now Covid restrictions have relaxed. And whether the existence of other editathons like Protests and Suffragettes weekend editathons gives pause for thought in terms of how we support and promote communities of practice. After 63 monthly editathons, I have more of a sense that these online events are well thought of as a place for colleagues from Higher Education institutions and from Wikimedia Foundation colleagues as a place to wet their feet and get a crash course in how to edit Wikipedia in a supportive environment. Staff from Care International recently attended our last 29 July event for example.
Last year’s digital booklet of Case studies of Wikimedia in Education showcasing exemplars of best practice from universities around the UK (with University of Edinburgh featuring in 5 of the 14 case studies) is a good resource but perhaps needs wider dissemination to ensure it is seen by course leaders interested in such work. Expanding with 6 new case studies hopefully ready for publication by end of September 2022.
Andrew Kirk and Christina Hussell in the University's Digital Skills used to run the regular Digital Skills training for the foundational Wikipedia editing workshop with little or no supervision required other than a semi regular catchup to discuss how the workshop is working. They are not running this anymore to my knowledge and Wiki work is still fringe/othered to other Digital Skills programme work. Wikidata could be much more incorporated as there is a growing interest in data science work more generally and building a supportive community of practice could be encouraged here.
Am pleased to see Wikimedia UK continue to support and grow the Celtic & Indigenous language Wikipedia Conference which began in Edinburgh in 2017 has since been repeated and expanded at the National Library of Wales and at the University of Exeter’s Penrhyn campus in Cornwall, Wikimedia Ireland hosted online in July 2020 and Wikimedia Norway hosted the Arctic Knot in June 2021. I would like to continue to support this conference considering we originated in 2017 and it has been going successfully for 5 years despite the pandemic and colleagues from as far afield as University of Sydney have reached out to me about the work supporting regional and minority language communities.
Securing repeat takeup in Wikipedia in the Curriculum assignments in our first three courses and building on these, year on year, to bring in new disciplines in Digital Sociology MSc, Masters in Public Health (MPH), Data Science for Design MSc (need discussed) and now doubling the course programmes engaged or discussing engagement (10-12 course programmes) with a focus now on supporting more online course programmes and MOOCs e.g. Digital Education MSc, Global Health Challenges Pg online, History of Art etc.
Developed a new Edinburgh Award programme (October – March) so students can undertake 50-80hours of project-based Wikipedia editing and be accredited for it. First iteration/pilot a modest success with a great many learning points. This work could be greatly enhanced and expanded in 2022/2023 which has implications for the residency work in terms of capacity as this is may be one of the best ways to motivate student involvement in Wikipedia editing based on feedback from Year One and this could well become the residency's main focus if it expands and brings in more collaboration with course leaders, university departments, student societies and Edinburgh institutions.
Hannah Rothmann, Wikimedia Training intern in Summer 2020, was shortlisted for a national award as LILAC Conference’s “Leading Light” for Information Literacy and won the Open Education Global award for best student project. The videos she has shared to YouTube and Media Hopper have helped show the ‘how to’ of editing Wikipedia with the ‘How to make a Wikipedia article’ video receiving over 50,000 views since publishing in September 2020. Have 1,200+ subscribers to our YouTube channel with 9,000 views a month so more work could be done on out YouTube or TES Resources.
The website she started in Summer 2020 has been expanded and augmented with improvements from Erin Boyle (Wikisourceror Intern) and Clea Strathmann (Open Data and Knowledge Equity intern) focusing on (a) how better to support Library and University Collections using the Wikimedia projects and (b) the teaching of data science with Wikidata and (c) how better to support equality, diversity and inclusion at the university through the Wikimedia projects. Needs work in terms of accessibility but is a good place to orientate oneself on the Wikimedia projects.
The resident also supported conversations with academic colleagues and the Communications Office at the university about how best to manage their digital presence on Wikipedia. Dr. Melissa Highton has suggested we commission a photographer to create new open-licenced portraits of our academic colleagues when we are able to secure a day in Argyle House to prepare a photography suite.
The resident recorded a series of podcasts on 24th May 2021 examining Wikipedia and Academia, Wikipedia in 321 languages, Wikipedia and gender equality, Wikipedia and medicine/science communication, Wikipedia and History. These podcasts will shortened and polished in collaboration with team. All 5 episodes now published on the Teaching Matters blog and garnered good response.
The resident has contributed a chapter on “Changing the Way Stories Are Told – Getting staff and students to write about the Women of Scotland onto Wikipedia” for a new book, Wikipedia and Academic Libraries, being published in September 2021. Published now.
Student Experience Grant proposal submitted, accepted and now completed as of 1st July 2022. 3 student researchers worked one day a week on a 14 week funded project to improve LGBTQ+ History, Black History and Gender History on Wikipedia especially where we have a rich story to tell. More details below.
Edinburgh Award and internships and SEG projects are the lifeblood of the work we do – students frequently engage in these terms.

Challenges from the last year[edit]

Still more work to be done to convince other colleagues across whole university that Wikipedia is not ‘extra-curricular’ and especially in wider H.E. sector where Wikimedian in Residence work is still not established. Culture change is proving to be a slow-burner in terms of academics and senior managers in H.E. creating a culture that allows and rewards experimentation in the curriculum to include Wikipedia and Wikidata work more often. Culture change still a slow burner but gaining converts yeay-on-year. A new course leader, Dr. Hemangini Gupta at GenderEd is interested in collaborating following attending our Student Experience Grant editathon on 1st July 2022.
I think the opportunities for teaching with Wikipedia has only scratched at the surface while there is much from a research point of view that has yet to be even looked at. Need greater awareness and support from senior level that this can be engaged with. Need Wikipedia to be part of conversation especially in curriculum transformation work.
Engaging more students in the residency. I think the motivation has to be there (open badges? Course credit? Edinburgh Award?) and that would come through course leaders legitimising this was a worthwhile use of their time. More work needs done to demonstrate to course leaders that students will benefit academically and enjoy the exercise; and how they can swap out aspects of their own practice and engage with Wikipedia without it adding to their workloads. This is an ongoing area for development. Developing the Edinburgh Award and continuing to speak in conferences and evidence the case studies we have engaged with so far may yet yield further rewards. Hiring of student interns has been shown to work well and I will discuss with them about the best channels I should engage with and the message that should be adopted in order to invite more participation. But I also believe visiting other parts of the university or having a presence in other campuses may yield more interactions and engagement.
Engaging more trainers in the residency. We have trained 14 trainers some years ago now but finding ways in which they can see this as a semi-regular part of their job remit, and provide opportunities to take part in leading training which meets their scheduling, has proven tricky. This is an ongoing area for development as there is a very real learning curve to learning Wikimedia editing which only regular engagement (even in part) can address. Still seen as a Ewan-only job role. Work to be done here to get it in other job remits or create new job opportunities.
Reflecting on (structural/cultural) barriers to engagement for staff and students and how to lessen these going forward. More staff than students I feel as Edinburgh Award, SEG projects, internships all seem motivating for students.
Monitoring and supporting student contributions to Wikipedia as the number of cohorts involved in Wikipedia in the Curriculum work increases. (the Edinburgh Award may potentially have a number of students undertaking it come October 2021). The Award does impact workload and capacity for definite but in-curriculum work has tended to be frontloaded on Semester One.
Outreach work – within the university to reach the parts not yet involved in the residency – and without the residency to further evidence the residency is a palpable success and model to emulate in other H.E.I.s – this is work I’m still keen to do and reach out to different disciplines and locations we maybe have never visited or revisited in a long while. Eurostemcell work, Royal Observatory, Little France, Easter Bush.
Outreach work – Keeping the wider Wikimedia community involved and supportive of the work and aims of the residency. Find this has fallen by the wayside somewhat and that we should maybe look to host a Wikimedia summit at the uni as in olden days. Skills sharing between Wikimedians is one surefire way to keep relevant and improve CPD as a Wikimedian.
