A section to discuss what qualifications we'd like to see in a successful Wikipedia Visiting Scholar candidate. Thresholds could include length of involvement with Wikimedia projects, edit count, and content creation experience. Please let us know your ideas. The Interior (Talk) 17:44, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
www.oclc.org/config is not a valid link at OCLC. And I had difficulty finding references to "Eswitch" on its site. Jeremy Butler 11:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Partners participate in a pilot where the articles visible on Wikipedia pages—those the visiting Editor/Scholar is creating but also potentially other articles visible on a Wikipedia page—with links that point back to resources in the library collection or in other open source collections in the library community.

I'm currently volunteering at the Library of Virginia and part of my position there is related to Wikipedia. (Factchecking, trying to see if the LVA's stuff could be used as a RS, creating related pages, etc.) I've been wanting to get them somewhat more involved with Wikipedia but for the most part I'm pretty much the only person there that's really Wikipedia savvy. In any case, my question is this: if I can get them to put in for an open position, could I just be automatically given that position since I'm already serving in that capacity? I'd still submit a CV and go through the technical motions, but it'd essentially be a position opened up with the idea that I'd be given this position. My main worry is that this might not be fair to someone else who may want to apply since I don't really think that the LVA would be entirely interested in having someone else do this, especially if it's someone they may not be able to have face to face contact with. I'm not sure that I really have the time to be a Wikipedian in Residence necessarily, although I suppose that this is an option. (The LVA is eager to work with Wikipedia but so far it's mostly tentative baby steps like adding sources and articles.) Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:56, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
The "currently open positions" panel advertises a post at the National Library of Wales, whose closing date was in April 2016. The panel template hasn't been edited for over two years. Should it be deleted, or blanked? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:38, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
I'm wondering if this position is still available as I can see dates are outdated.--Support Wikipedia, support free sharing of knowledge. BamLifa ( talk) 11:09, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
