I'll get someone to drop you an email or call with advice tomorrow Rod,
notwithstanding Andy's (welcome) advice!

I have agreed to do a workshop on behalf of Wikimedia
UK on 15th July
and would appreciate some advice about the best ways to deal with topics
around Conflict of Interest, Biographies of Living Persons and possibly
Paid editing.
This will be at the University of Exeter and the expected participants are web
people and possibly other comms people from universities in the south west
of England. Their objective is to improve the wp articles on academics from
their institutions (eg
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Academics_of_the_University_of_Exeter*
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Academics_of_the_University_of_Exeter>
)
This was originally discussed with Daria in 2013 and then was going to be
held in 2014 (Chris McKenna, HJ Mitchell, Martin Poulter etc were copied
into the planning). I emailed various experts in March and added it to an
email to Richard – but have not had any response from any of them
I have looked at:
· *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest*
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest>
·
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons*
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons>
· *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view*
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view>
and feel reasonably comfortable with the content, but would appreciate any
advice on the best way to get these across to this target group, as
beyond basic editing I think these will be the most useful areas for the
participants to engage with.
