Wikimedia blog post Hello everyone Trying to be as polite and good faithy as possible here this morning I hope I won t be smited for pointing something out again The current Wikimedia Foundation blog post is Wikipedia for Schools Project The blog talks about how Wikipedia for Schools was born out of SOS Children It s a great project providing underprivileged kids in the Third World with curated age appropriate content from Wikipedia But when you go to see who wrote the Wikipedia articles about the organization and the program one can see the all too familiar pattern of editorial dominance by conflict of interest accounts Two days ago a big chunk of content was added to SOS Children s Villages UK by User RWilcox11 Rainbow Wilcox happens to be Website Content Editor at SOS Children No disclosure by RWilcox11 so if that is indeed Ms Wilcox the edits are in violation of the Wikimedia Foundation s Terms of Use of this site Similarly on Monday the day the new Terms of Use went into effect User Rory soschildren was working on the article Rory Hughes Social Media Marketer for SOS Children In a bit of contrast User JamieG01 identifies himself on his Talk page as follows I work for an international children s charity called SOS Children so we can assume this is Jamie Goodland who received special thanks in the WMF blog post Likewise User DuncanHarris identifies on his User page I am entirely responsible for the technical work on the 2007 Schools Wikipedia Selection This work was funded by SOS Children UK part of the world s largest orphan charity And User BozMo identifies as Andrew Cates on his User page with I also worked from 2004 2013 part time as CEO for the charity SOS Children Might I make a recommendation Now that the new Terms of Use is coming up on its first week of implementation maybe someone from the Wikimedia blog staff could make it a point that whenever they are featuring a person or an organization that has a relevant Wikipedia article that part of the blogger s responsibility is to reach out to any potentially conflicted editors representing the blog subject to ask them to self identify per the new Terms of Use so that the Wikimedia blog is not inadvertently showcasing violators of the Terms of Use of the Foundation s project To do my part I will be happy to reach out now to Users RWilcox11 and Rory soschildren to let them know of this conversation So it would be nice if it isn t deleted or hatted
