subtitle-610-5770-1 | "And finally, the final section I want to demonstrate today is FAQ-style answers." |
---|
subtitle-5770-12130-2 | "Remember I said that your evidence toolkit should also include as many as you can" |
---|
subtitle-13150-17230-3 | "pre-prepared answers to questions that are likely to come up." |
---|
subtitle-17710-22810-4 | "Remember, your prospective partner feels, "Oh, they're finally talking to the Wikipedia" |
---|
subtitle-22810-27400-5 | "people". So this is the opportunity to ask, "Hey, why was the article about my" |
---|
subtitle-27400-29140-6 | "grandfather deleted" or something?" |
---|
subtitle-29350-33790-7 | "Or "Who is the general editor of Wikipedia?" FAQs." |
---|
subtitle-33790-39820-8 | "So here are some examples from learners, past learners of the course." |
---|
subtitle-39850-45730-9 | "The question is: "what is the best way to be transparent if we edit as an institution?"" |
---|
subtitle-47290-52670-10 | "And the answer is, "try and register one person per Wikipedia account." |
---|
subtitle-52690-57010-11 | "Do not create one account for multiple people or for the entire institution." |
---|
subtitle-57220-63130-12 | "And then in this account, disclose your institutional affiliations." So it doesn't" |

subtitle-63130-68680-13 | "need to be complex. It can be a one-sentence statement like "user:Jane Doe is a Wikipedian" |

subtitle-73210-77560-15 | ""Jane Doe is aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policies and is invested in" |
---|
subtitle-77560-82540-16 | "abiding by community best practices." This is a strong signal that you're sending the" |
---|
subtitle-82540-85120-17 | "community. I know about conflict of interest." |
---|
subtitle-85870-91630-18 | "I know I'm supposed to disclose my relationship to my employer if I'm editing" |
---|
subtitle-91630-93970-19 | "about this museum." |
---|
subtitle-94600-96070-20 | "I'm here to do good." |
---|
subtitle-96160-99370-21 | "That's a very good piece of advice that we can give the partner." |
---|
subtitle-99370-104950-22 | "Be transparent and edit according to the expectations, in this case, the expectations" |
---|
subtitle-104950-106390-23 | "of the English Wikipedia." |
---|
subtitle-107710-113140-24 | "Some Wikipedias don't mind shared or institutional accounts, but English Wikipedia" |
---|
subtitle-113140-120720-25 | "does. Another frequent question: "Our institution is an expert on this subject." |
---|
subtitle-120930-126540-26 | "If something is edited using our materials, can we prevent other people from modifying" |
---|
subtitle-126540-130980-27 | "it?" Again, that's a question that does come up when you're talking to partners." |
---|
subtitle-130980-136500-28 | "Sometimes they're all in favor of donating the content, putting the content up, but then" |
---|
subtitle-136650-141090-29 | "they're very anxious about what would happen with this content, how it would be used or" |
---|
subtitle-141090-147510-30 | "modified. And they're concerned because some of their prestige, they feel, is tied up in" |
---|
subtitle-147510-150870-31 | "these materials and they wouldn't want it misrepresented, etc.." |
---|
subtitle-151200-155430-32 | "So that's an understandable concern." |
---|
subtitle-155430-158970-33 | "And unfortunately we cannot just tell them, "Oh yeah, don't worry about it." |
---|
subtitle-158970-163380-34 | "Everything will be fine, nobody will modify it", Because that's not how Wikipedia works." |

subtitle-163380-168480-35 | "So we have to actually give them a more complex answer that educates them about what" |

subtitle-174820-179230-37 | "A contribution can be completely correct and yet not be understandable to the average" |

subtitle-179230-183970-38 | "reader, or the contribution may conflict with Wikipedia guidelines." |

subtitle-184420-188950-39 | "An experienced editor may have little knowledge of the topic, yet be able to" |

subtitle-188950-191500-40 | "identify a problem with the style used in an article." |

subtitle-192400-198490-41 | "Ideally, the subject expert, your people, the partners and the experienced editor would" |

subtitle-198490-200470-42 | "collaborate to develop the article." |

subtitle-201040-205630-43 | "However, if no convincing reason was provided in the edit summary that changed your" |

subtitle-205630-210760-44 | "contribution, you could simply change it back while providing a detailed edit," |

subtitle-210760-215800-45 | "summary, etc.". It goes on, but it explains how to deal with changes that you disagree" |

subtitle-215800-223270-46 | "with to the content that you donated, just like you would deal with other changes that" |

subtitle-223270-224860-47 | "someone made that you disagree with on Wikipedia." |
---|
subtitle-225640-227560-48 | "You can revert and then you can discuss." |

subtitle-228390-229760-49 | "And this is explained here." |

subtitle-230410-234880-50 | "More frequently asked questions by a different partner." |

subtitle-235000-239890-51 | ""How do you make sure that the article's content will remain in the same high quality" |

subtitle-239890-241620-52 | "after the contest is over?" |

subtitle-241630-246280-53 | "We want to make sure our castles are represented well." So again, a similar" |

subtitle-246280-248430-54 | "concern, a similar anxiety." |
---|
subtitle-248440-252040-55 | "I understand that right now we're going to have a contest and there's going to be a lot" |
---|
subtitle-252040-254050-56 | "of high quality. But then, then what?" |
---|
subtitle-254050-257260-57 | "We want to make sure, we want control, in other words." |
---|
subtitle-257470-263230-58 | "They want control over the way their castles, in this case, the topics they care" |
---|
subtitle-263230-265090-59 | "about, they want control over how it's represented." |
---|
subtitle-266260-273030-60 | "And again, we have to explain: "Wikipedia's core belief is that everyone can edit and" |
---|
subtitle-273030-274050-61 | "improve on articles." |
---|
subtitle-274050-278550-62 | "We cannot guarantee that the content of the article will not be changed." |
---|
subtitle-278670-284250-63 | "However, we have patrollers who frequently patrol pages, rolling back any vandalism, or" |

subtitle-284250-288300-64 | "marking additional texts if they do not include references, or the references are not" |
---|
subtitle-288300-292980-65 | "proper for the content., In other words, we can put their minds at ease that there is" |
---|
subtitle-292980-295050-66 | "some quality control on Wikipedia." |
---|
subtitle-295050-296700-67 | "It's not anything goes!" |
---|
subtitle-298480-299620-68 | "Another question." |
---|
subtitle-299890-303200-69 | ""We want you to copy this brochure's text for each castle." |
---|
subtitle-303220-308910-70 | "We will give you copyright permission." So "here we have ready texts about the castles;" |
---|
subtitle-308920-315580-71 | "Just paste them into Wikipedia; we give you permission." And again, that's probably not a" |
---|
subtitle-315580-321010-72 | "good idea. The language of a promotional brochure is probably not Neutral Point of" |
---|
subtitle-321010-326230-73 | "View. So we should be saying something like "I would definitely advise against this, as" |
---|
subtitle-326230-330010-74 | "according to our guidelines, we need to make sure the article content is objectively" |
---|
subtitle-330010-332470-75 | "phrased and does not contain marketing material." |

subtitle-333340-338530-76 | "We can, however, use your brochures as a source when writing the articles, and link to" |
---|
subtitle-338530-344790-77 | "them as references if they are available on the Internet." Another question: "Why would I" |
---|
subtitle-344790-345990-78 | "need your partnership?" |
---|
subtitle-346020-351840-79 | "The castles are on our website anyways", and we discussed a little bit the difference" |
---|
subtitle-351840-355200-80 | "between the partner's own website and the wiki sites." |
---|
subtitle-355860-360090-81 | "So: "Wikipedia is read by everyone regardless of age, political affiliation, or" |
---|
subtitle-360090-365250-82 | "interests. We have a wide reach across all demographics." This is a good place to cite" |
---|
subtitle-365250-367170-83 | "some of those statistics that we've seen." |
---|
subtitle-367290-372370-84 | ""And if people search for X Castle, Wikipedia comes up right on top." |

subtitle-372390-375270-85 | "That's why you want your content on Wikipedia."" |
