Sample conflict of interest statement for GLAM professionals

edit

GLAM professionals and WIkipedians-in-residence may improve Wikipedia using their organizations' resources while still complying with Wikipedia's policy on paid editing. COI-GLAM states that,

Museum curators, librarians, archivists, and similar are encouraged to help improve Wikipedia, or to share their information in the form of links to their resources. If a link cannot be used as a reliable source, it may be placed under further reading or external links if it complies with the external links guideline.

You must include a conflict of interest statement on your user page if planning to edit as part of your professional duties

Sample statement

About Me

I am a paid employee of the Delaware Art Museum. We are working to make our resources more accessible to the public by working directly with Wikipedia.

Conflict of interest statement

I am editing Wikipedia as part of my official duties at the Delaware Art Museum. I will abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability. Because the mission of the National Museum of Women in the Arts is in line with Wikipedia's mission to disseminate knowledge, I will not make edits that I do not believe are in accordance with Wikipedia's practices and procedures. If you believe I have made an error or violated Wikipedia’s norms, please let me know.

Wikimedia Affiliates

Wikimedia movement affiliates model
Chapters
Wikimedia chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (in most cases, a country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently 39 chapters, with at least one on every inhabited continent., i.e. Wikimedia DC
Wikimedia thematic organizations
Thematic organizations are incorporated independent non-profits representing the Wikimedia movement and supporting work focused on a specific theme, topic, subject or issue within or across countries and regions. i.e., Wikimedia Medicine.
User groups
Wikimedia user groups are intended to be simple and flexible affiliates that are an alternative to chapters and thematic organizations - which require more formal requirements. User groups are highly valued as equal players in the Wikimedia movement, i.e., Art+Feminism
