Hi all,
As you may have heard [1], I am now a full-time, permanent staff
member at the US National Archives employed to work on Wikipedia
initiatives. This makes me, even more clearly so than previous
Wikipedians in Residence which are often temporary workers or interns,
a paid editor.

I realize that this is going well beyond the conflict
of interest
statement we usually suggest of cultural professionals editing
Wikipedia.
Dominic,
first of all congratulations!
I am employed at the Ministry of Culture in Italy and I occasionally
contribute to Wikipedia content where I clearly have a conflict of
interest (e.g. museums or archaeological sites where I work), so can I
ask you to point me to the "conflict of interest statement" that you
mention above?
I think your approach is correct, and more transparency can only do
good.
Ciao
Stefano
