Thanks Bettina and Pheobe,
Pheobe, the 'Editing ideas' document that you have is very useful, and I
will try to expand on it.
I'd like to contribute a document that I created as part of a GLAM workshop
in NY.
We talked about what kind of sustainable, regular, project librarians could
build so that editing or training their library users became a more regular
part of their work.
Cheers,
Dorothy

Hi Phoebe -
These are very useful, thanks!
In my region, public librarians admit to being "scared" of Wikipedia and
don't know much about it or how to use it. So...
*...here's a slide deck developed for a branch-wide presentation as an
intro to Wikipedia:

* ... and here's an adaptation of a manual originally developed by Susanna
Giaccai (still in my sandbox - feel free to improve!):
