Wikipedia pilot project
From 2019 to early 2021, the European University Institute (EUI) engaged in a pilot project in collaboration with Wikipedia, leveraging its institutional membership with ORCID. The goal was to enhance and maintain Wikipedia pages related to EUI-affiliated members.
However, after a communicate from Wikipedia forbidding the edition and curation of the members' pages we had to interrupt the project.
Consequently, since 2021, any EUI team, including the Library, has been able to support this type of work from an institutional perspective.
As an alternative, individual contributions are suggested. Interested individuals can make the proposed changes to the Wikipedia pages, which may then be reviewed and accepted by the Wikipedia community.
EUI supports and encourage the use of ORCID for EUI members, as well as the use of their EUI profile pages.
