Strategic Aim 1 - Knowledge Equity

International Women's Day 2019 - Wikipedia editahon at the University of Edinburgh

Increase the engagement and representation of marginalised people and subjects

• Develop partnerships that increase access to underrepresented cultural heritage
• Support the development of minority and indigenous language Wikipedias
• Encourage new and existing partners to help tackle the gender gap on Wikimedia
• Identify other areas of inequality and bias and create partnerships to help address these
• Engage with volunteers and partners across the UK, widening the charity’s geographic reach
• Diversify content producers by recruiting new editors from under-represented communities
• Support the development of a more inclusive culture across the Wikimedia projects
• Ensure that Wikimedia UK’s own policies and practices support diversity and inclusion

Progress

• Laura Rose Wood joined us in January 2020 as the new Wikimedia Women in Red student intern with a remit to expand on our Women in Red work (promoting events, researching pages to write, creating scaffolded resources, delivering training, community building). She has been supported to deliver training, created a new blogsite, researched names for our first event on 5th February 2020 and is preparing a resource to help anyone learn how to edit or run Women in Red editing events.
• Worked with Kat Breen and Professor Miles Glendinning to develop templates and a workflow to upload the images from the Tower Block UK archive into Wikimedia Commons with consistent metadata and the social housing developments on Wikidata. The workflow and templates are now created so a further meeting to perform the upload is to be arranged in due course.
• Sixteen new 'blue plaques' were laser cut for inspiring women who were nominated by the University of Edinburgh WikiProject Women in Red editors who had created Wikipedia pages for them. The editors collected the plaques to take home with them.
• The BSHS Ayrton prize recognises outstanding web projects and digital engagement in the history of science, technology and medicine (HSTM). The prize name was chosen to recognize the major contributions of Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923) to numerous scientific fields, especially electrical engineering and mathematics, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The prize is awarded once every two years. Given the remarkable strength of the field, they decided to supplement the main Prize with a Highly Commended category, to be awarded to two further projects. I’m delighted to say that our University of Edinburgh Wikipedia project “Changing the ways the stories are told” is one of the two Highly Commended projects! The judging panel were particularly impressed with the initiative’s track record of contributions to the infrastructure of knowledge on which research and public engagement in the history of science depend.
• Discussing an LGBT+ Wikipedia editing event for May/June 2020 with Lisa Heyward, one of our Ada Lovelace Day editors and science student at University of Edinburgh.
• Discussing a Wikipedia project for the Summer of 2020 with the University of Edinburgh's Mastercard Scholars program. The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at The University of Edinburgh provides full scholarships and transformative leadership training to educate and support bright, young African students with a deep, personal commitment to changing the world around them.

Needful Things - a presentation for OER20 Conference on a new booklet of case studies of Wikimedia in UK education.

Progress

• Digital Humanities Awards are a set of annual awards where the public is able to nominate resources for the recognition of talent and expertise in the digital humanities community. The resources are nominated and voted for entirely by the public. These awards are intended as an awareness raising activity, to help put interesting DH resources in the spotlight and engage DH users (and general public) in the work of the community. The Map of Accused Witches Wikidata website won Best DH Data Visualization.
  • Winner: Witches – Mapping the Scottish Survey of Witchcraft Database
• Created a NEW booklet of case studies of Wikimedia in UK Education. Written with Dr. Sara Thomas, the booklet is a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh and Wikimedia UK to produce a 36 page booklet of 14 case studies demonstrating best practice in how the Wikimedia projects are being used in teaching and learning.
• Presented on Wikimedia in Education on the 4 years of the Wikimedia residency at the University of Edinburgh and the new booklet of case studies at OER20's online conference on 1st April 2020.
• The Translation Studies MSc Wikipedia assignment has concluded its 7th iteration in four years with double the cohort size producing 46 brand new articles in a variety of different language Wikipedias. The students are now engaging in meaningful peer review feedback of each other's articles when previously the assignment was not assessed (and less motivating for them as a result). 38 students are undertaking the assignment in semester two in what is now the assignment's 8th iteration.
• The Global Health Challenges Pg (online) Wikipedia assignment worked well in semester one. Course leader Varia Christie is due to discuss and review the assignment with the resident in mid May 2020 with a view to repeating the assignment in 2020/2021. Students worked collaboratively in groups to substantially improve (adding 1000 words) to stub articles about natural (or manmade) disasters.
• Another online webinar workshop worked well on the Digital Education MSc course programme where Marshall Dozier, Academic Support Librarian, invited the resident to a training workshop and presentation on 'Knowledge Equity and Wikipedia'. The students took part in forum discussions and then looked at how different literacy' pages on Wikipedia were covered. They then collaborated to produce a brand new page on Information Literacies.
• Professor Devi Sridhar and Dr. Felix Stein, course leaders on the Masters of Public Health(MPH) course programme, worked with the resident on a 200 word assignment in semester one to get the Masters students sharing their scholarship to global health related pages on Wikipedia. Professor Devi Sridhar has since become a key expert voice on the Covid-19 pandemic advising the Scottish government and the resident has proposed that scholars at the university be trained & supported to help share knowledge on Wikipedia to improve the health information available online in light of the pandemic.
• The Reproductive Biology Bsc Wikipedia assignment is confirmed to be going ahead in semester one of 2020/2021.
• Attended two day 'Data Carpentry' workshop at University of Edinburgh to learn about data manipulation in spreadsheets, OpenRefine and Python.
• Put forward job position for an Employ.ed internship where a Wikimedia Trainer Intern would be employed on a 12 week fulltime basis this Summer to work on developing professional looking and scaffolded resources that would chunk the challenge of taking someone from beginner to advanced in Wikipedia and Wikidata. Awaiting approval from Chief Information Officer before proceeding with interviewing for the position.

Design Informatics MA students at the Suffer the Witch Symposium, Edinburgh

Progress

• Attended the Mapping the Scottish Reformation project seminar at the University of Edinburgh Library. Discussed at length with the project team, Mikki Brock and Chris Langley, how Wikidata may suit the project for storing and querying the data given our complementary work on the mapping of Scotland's accused witches. Chris Langley has now used the OpenRefine tutorial that Emma Carroll, our student intern, created to learn how to add data on the Scottish clergy to Wikidata. He's now made 2,346 edits to Wikidata and has secured funding to second a postgraduate student to help import biographical data and citation data on Scotland's clergy from 1560 to 1689 and is looking to the University of Edinburgh to advise about creating a similar website resource to the [Map of Accused Witches resource] later this Summer.
• Spoke with Ian Watt (Open Data Institute Aberdeen and Code the City) about a Wikidata and Covid-19 data project proposal to see if Wikidata can support the efforts to combat the Covid-19 pandemic in South-East Scotland. Ian has been scraping the Scottish Government published daily to retain it in his Github repository. The Scottish Government are now following Ian's lead and publishing regularly, in a consistent format, to their own Github repository. Discussing with Daniel Mietchen whether the Iceland Covid-19 dashboard might be a useful exemplar for furture (funded) project work given the availability of £1,000 to £25,000 data-driven innovation grants from the university.
• Spoke about the 'Map of Accused witches Wikidata project' at the Suffer the Witch symposium at the Patrick Geddes Centre at Riddles Court, Edinburgh on 23rd January 2020. This was a sellout event of sixty attendees looking to understand the witchhunt panics of the 1590s. Other speakers included Professor Julian Goodare and Dr. Louise Yeoman, Project Directors of the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database. During the interval break, students from the Design Informatics MA/MFA course programme at the University of Edinburgh showed off the interactive wooden map of accused witches in Scotland they had laser cut from wood as part of their Data Fair project. The students were invited to talk about their project on Leith Walk which they agreed to do and the Patrick Geddes Centre similarly invited the resident to bring further Wikimedia related events to be hosted there as part of a 'town and gown' relationship to encourage public engagement.
• Four page spread on the Map of Accused Witches Wikidata project in the May/June 2020 publication of History Scotland magazine.
• Planned Wikisource webinar for 6 May 2020 with Dr. Sara Thomas for library colleagues at National Library of Scotland and University of Edinburgh.
• Interviewed by Shani Everstein at Tel-Aviv University, a Wikidatan and Wikimedia course leader herself. She will publish the interview for sharing online and show it to her students as an example of how Wikidata can be used in academic contexts, looking specifically at the Map of Accused Witches project.
