Metadata Librarian at Iowa State University. Team lead for the Parks Library Wikipedia editing project.
Some edits are made as part of my paid duties as a staff member of Parks Library at Iowa State University.

The purpose of the Wikipedia editing project is to provide services that exceed user expectations by participating in the sharing of knowledge and making library digital materials as accessible and open as possible. Through this project we will support the library’s vision, mission, core values, and its commitment to open access; the university’s mission; the land-grant mission; and the Wikimedia Foundation’s mission to “empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.”
We will pursue this mission by:
