One thing that I think editors should do is to make employers and
such aware of their WP activities as much as possible. WP's
visibility and reputation is now such that it's generally a positive
thing to be seen as an important person in WP, and should a nasty
person call, it helps the callee to recognize it as stalking
rather than anything legitimate. Be proud of your work for
Wikipedia, and let everybody know about it.
Oh, yes it is. In fact, my Wikipedia activities have actually been a
positive thing because we've got a couple of interdepartmental Wikis, and
I'm a bureaucrat on one of them.
