Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria (RBGV) and Wikipedia
[Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria|RBGV] is a world-leading botanic gardens and a centre of excellence for scientific research, horticulture and education. Located within the Gardens is the National Herbarium of Victoria, which is home to the State Botanical Collection (SBC), representing Australia's largest herbarium collection. This collection, comprised of over 1.5 million dried vascular plant, cryptogam and fungi specimens, also incorporates an archive and library that house a valuable collection of botanical art and literature.

Data regarding significant numbers of species held within the the SBC are documented on Wikipedia, as is data concerning many historical and living figures of note who have made it their life's work to document the world's flora. Ongoing, large-scale digitisation projects at RBGV are allowing our staff to release the tremendous wealth of botanical and historical knowledge held within the SBC, to make it accessible to the public via the internet under Creative Commons licensing. It is the aim of this RBGV working group to ensure that this process takes place in a consistent and stringent manner, ensuring access to the highest quality of reliable data.

RBGV WikiPolicy
RBGV staff contributing to Wikipedia are tasked with making reliable, fully referenced data derived from the State Botanical Collection available in a transparent manner.


 * RBGV staff are expected to identify their affiliation on their user pages
 * Information added to Wikipedia must be verifiable, typically drawing on data held within the SBC either directly or via one of the aggregating portals that make this data available, e.g. the Australian Virtual Herbarium
 * RBGV staff contributing to Wikipedia are obliged to do so using individual accounts rather than organisational ones
 * RBGV staff are asked to consider the potential for conflict of interest, particularly
 * 1) RMIT staff and students participate in Wikipedia on an equal footing with all other editors by using individual rather than Library accounts.
 * 2) RMIT staff should disclose their affiliation with the University on their user page before editing.
 * 3) If RMIT staff edit articles about the University as an institution, other users may perceive a conflict of interest. Simple factual changes (e.g.: personnel updates or outdated statistics) may likely be made without contention, but more substantive changes should be proposed first using discussion pages or other fora.
 * 4) When editing articles, an impartial voice should be maintained. RMIT staff must remember they are writing an encyclopedia, not speaking for the University.
