Wikimedian

The museums asked Wikimedians to provide the institutions with lists of thematic topics that required illustration.

Trusted Wikimedians could apply for one of the many levels of volunteer stewardship, receive administrator rights, and then move on to become “bureaucrats” and eventually “stewards.”

To create such a role, an institution works in partnership with an affiliate or a champion to find a Wikimedian editing in a certain topic area that is relevant to the collection, and then the institution invites that Wikimedian to fill the “Visiting Scholar" position.
