Frank Schulenburg is the Wikimedia Foundation's Head of Public Outreach.
He first contributed to Wikipedia in 2005, and quickly grew involved with the other projects as well. In 2006, he founded Wikipedia Academy, an event aimed at increasing quality in the encyclopedia by encouraging contributions from targeted groups, primarily in academia. In 2006, he organized an exhibition documenting Wikipedia’s first five years, and created the media literacy “Wikipedia at Schools” project. He created the Zedler medal for distinguished encyclopedic contributions, awarded every year by Wikimedia Deutschland and the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature. He had been a board member of Wikimedia Deutschland from February 2006 to June 2008, and had served, from July 2007 to June 2008, as its vice chair.
