Richard, I saw your post on Renata's page (I've been stalking her for years!) and it suddenly made me feel elderly and confused, two things I'm quite good at. Are these actual ''jobs'' ... as in, er, employment? Sorry if I am being dim but I am almost endlessly baffled by the pro-versus-volunteer thing, and am very far from clear on what this is. Please educate me very slightly? (Even if it's just ''read this link, fool''!) <small>(Declaration of Disinterest: sadly, I couldn't work in Scotland anyway, much though I would love to!)</small> Cheers [[User:DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered|DBaK]] ([[User talk:DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered|talk]]) 16:23, 22 April 2013 (UTC) | Richard, I saw your post on Renata's page (I've been stalking her for years!) and it suddenly made me feel elderly and confused, two things I'm quite good at.

:So: yes! It's employment; a paid job, and it's sort of a cross between a trainer, a librarian, a curator and a Wikipedian. It's not paid editing - the job is more about facilitation of volunteers. The basic idea is that the (paid) WiR makes it easier for volunteer editors to write about things that the museum has access to. It might also include digitising some works, training curators, etc etc. I am a bit rubbish at explaining it, but the best introduction to it is probably [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence here]. Let me know if you want it explaining a bit more! [[User:Richard Symonds (WMUK)|Richard Symonds (WMUK)]] ([[User talk:Richard Symonds (WMUK)|talk]]) 18:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC) | |||

Richard, I saw your post on Renata's page (I've been stalking her for years!) and it suddenly made me feel elderly and confused, two things I'm quite good at. Are these actual jobs ... as in, er, employment? Sorry if I am being dim but I am almost endlessly baffled by the pro-versus-volunteer thing, and am very far from clear on what this is. Please educate me very slightly? (Even if it's just read this link, fool!) (Declaration of Disinterest: sadly, I couldn't work in Scotland anyway, much though I would love to!)

- So: yes! It's employment; a paid job, and it's sort of a cross between a trainer, a librarian, a curator and a Wikipedian. It's not paid editing - the job is more about facilitation of volunteers. The basic idea is that the (paid) WiR makes it easier for volunteer editors to write about things that the museum has access to.
