A Wikipedian in residence or Wikimedian in residence (WiR) is a Wikipedia editor, a Wikipedian (or Wikimedian), who accepts a placement with an institution, typically an art gallery, library, archive or museum (GLAM), or institute of higher education (such as a university) 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 institution and the Wikimedia community. A Wikipedian in residence generally helps to coordinate Wikipedia-related outreach events between the GLAM and the general public. Institutions that have hosted a Wikipedian in residence include large institutions like the British Museum, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the British Library, the National Library of Norway, and the Federal Archives of Switzerland and smaller venues like the Derby Museum and Art Gallery and The New Art Gallery Walsall in the UK; the Palace of Versailles in France; the Museu Picasso in Spain; and in the US, the Smithsonian Institution, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library, and the National Archives and Records Administration. == History == The first Wikipedian in residence, Liam Wyatt, volunteered at the British Museum for a period of five weeks in 2010. He noted the need for Wikipedia to strengthen partnerships with museums to create the most up-to-date and accurate information, saying "we are doing the same thing for the same reason, for the same people, in the same medium. Let's do it together." The Children's Museum of Indianapolis became involved with the program after Wikipedian Lori Phillips volunteered for a GLAM event in 2010,〔 becoming the second Wikipedian in residence. The third, Benoît Evellin, spent six months at the Palace of Versailles.〔GLAM Château de Versailles Project page〕 The Museu Picasso in Barcelona, Spain, and the Derby Museum and Art Gallery in the United Kingdom were also early adopters of the idea.〔GLAM Museu Picasso Project page〕〔GLAM Derby Project page〕 In 2010, the Smithsonian Institution expressed interest in hiring a Wikipedian in residence, which led to the hiring of Sarah Stierch in July of that year.〔Ms. Stierch was fired by Wikimedia in 2014 for conflict of interest violations. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/wikipedia-fires-editor-who-enhanced-entries-for-cash-9052308.html〕 The following year, the National Archives and Records Administration followed suit and hired Dominic McDevitt-Parks, a student from Simmons College, who was pursuing a master's degree in history and archives management, to work at its Archives II location. McDevitt-Parks had been editing Wikipedia since 2004 and was hired for this position by David Ferriero.〔 In July 2011 Wikimedia UK engaged Andy Mabbett, an editor since 2003, as an "Outreach Ambassador" in-residence at the Bristol-based wildlife charity Wildscreen, working on the ARKive project. Since then Mabbett has been a Wikipedian in residence at other organisations such as the New Art Gallery Walsall. In January 2013, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library became the first Presidential library to hire a Wikipedian in residence, when they hired Michael Barera, a master's student at the University of Michigan. In September 2013, the National Archives and Records Administration became the first organisation to employ a permanent full-time Wikipedian in residence when it hired Dominic McDevitt-Parks to join its Office of Innovation in that capacity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Breaking New Ground Again )〕 In March 2014, Harvard University posted a job listing seeking applicants to be their Wikipedian in residence at the Houghton Library. As of 1 May 2014, there were 31 known Wikipedians in residence,〔 most of whom are paid by either the institution where they work or a Wikimedia related organization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wikipedian in residence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
