How does Wikipedia feel about this kind of position? Is there a perceived conflict of interest? Or are the hired contributors given leeway to build out school-specific material? (I know there's no single Wikipedia to consult -- so perhaps the governing body or influential contributors?)
- tptacek 13y agoThis is a program that Wikipedia coordinates with institutions (universities, museums, whatnot), endorsed and managed specifically by the project.

I think the WiR are supposed to write about subjects of interest to the institution, rather than write directly about the institution itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence
