In October 2014, the University of Victoria Libraries announced that in collaboration with the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL) and the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences that had been named honorary resident Wikipedian in residence for the 2014/2015 academic year. |
By 2016, more than 100 Wikipedians had taken part in the role, most of whom were paid by either the institution where they work or a Wikimedia-related organization. Some are volunteers. |
In 2018 Mike Dickison became "Wikipedian at large" in New Zealand, which included a number of residencies at various instutitions throughout the country, including the Auckland Museum. |
The primary role of the Wikipedian in Residence (WiR) is often to serve as a liaison between the host institution and the Wikimedia community by assisting with events and training that support the missions of both organisations. Typical training duties include arranging and/or leading training events and editathons; and providing explanations to other staff and members of the public about policies and practices, such as policies about conflict-of-interest. Editing activities may include making contributions to articles relevant to the institution's materials and mission, such as articles about significant cultural objects in an organization's collection or articles in a specific field of knowledge. |
Another common form of collaboration involves digital collections. A WiR can provide training on digitization, and help upload media (with any existing metadata) to Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia volunteers can then translate, extend, and reverify metadata, categorizing media and manually transcribing and structure scanned documents on Wikisource. The description and categorization functions on Wikimedia Commons are sometimes preferred to those of commercial websites and the institution's catalogue software. Media added to Commons are used in Wikipedia, both by the WiRs and by volunteer editors. |
A third form of collaboration involves datasets and APIs in their own right; for instance, the Wikimedia Foundation funded a Wikipedian in Residence at OCLC to integrate the OCLC's WorldCat Search API into Wikipedia's citation autocompletion tools, making adding references faster for Wikipedia editors. WiRs have also helped integrate ORCID metadata, and rights statement data. |
Some WiRs work for only a short period, down to a few weeks; others have permanent positions. In the case of short-term positions, it is important that the work to be done be well-planned in advance. |
While Wikipedia discourages direct paid compensation for article editing and prohibits undisclosed advocacy, Wikipedians in residence are permitted to be compensated for work on-wiki – either by offering credit, stipend, or salary – through their sponsoring institutions they adhere to strict guidelines against engaging in public relations or marketing for their institution. |
One such advertised post has been reported positively by others as being a "unique opportunity to help enrich Wikipedia and its sister projects and share with the world ... resources and knowledge." Conversely, journalist Andrew Orlowski criticized another advertised post as a waste of government funds. In 2013, a part-time temporary position was advertised by the National Library of Scotland and was noted as being "the first large-scale partnership" between a Scottish institution and Wikimedia UK. This initiative was followed by the University of Edinburgh where a Wikimedian in residence was appointed in December 2015. |

= = = The Giggity Wife = = = |
"The Giggity Wife" is the 11th episode of the eleventh season and the 199th overall episode of the animated comedy series "Family Guy". It aired on Fox in the United States on January 27, 2013, and is written by Andrew Goldberg and directed by Brian Iles. |
The episode's plot concerns Glen Quagmire accidentally becoming the husband of a prostitute. He then tries to bring the marriage to an end by pretending to be gay. |
When Peter discovers Joe has a student ID he took from a kid that gave him lip, Peter, Quagmire and Joe visit the Harvard University campus for lunch and have a wild night on the town. A drunken Quagmire accidentally marries an elderly prostitute named Charmese, who refuses to let go of their relationship and Quagmire starts to consider divorce until Joe points out that he could lose everything. Quagmire tries to make the best of it but Charmese can't pull herself far enough out of the gutter for his tastes. |
When Quagmire is reluctant to pursue their relationship, Charmese questions if he's homosexual and when she says the marriage would be over if true, Quagmire pretends to be homosexual. After catching Quagmire watching straight pornography, Charmese calls off the divorce unless Quagmire can prove he's homosexual by having sex with a man. Quagmire approaches Peter with the idea. Peter agrees but insists they have a date first, through which Quagmire suffers. Back at Quagmire's house, Charmese insists they have sex and the men clumsily, reluctantly prepare. Just as they are about to have sex, Charmese calls off the charade, noting that they're clearly heterosexual but if Quagmire wants a divorce that badly, she'll grant him one. She then says that he treats her better than any other guy she's met, and doesn't want to feel like she's burdening her marriage partner. After Charmese leaves, a nearly nude Peter and Quagmire embrace in relief as Peter suddenly noted the camera on Quagmire's laptop is on. The scene then cuts to the Griffin home, with the family watching in horror while Stewie comes in and asks if they're watching "Glee". |
The episode received a 2.9 rating and was watched by a total of 5.63 million people, this made it the most watched show on Animation Domination that night beating "The Cleveland Show", "Bob's Burgers", "American Dad!" and "The Simpsons". The episode was met with mixed reviews from critics. Kevin McFarland of "The A.V. Club" gave the episode a C–, saying "It’s not necessary for "Family Guy" to have complete continuity, but when Peter actually becoming gay for an episode and leaving his wife is less distressing to his family than this ending, something is out of balance. This is yet another episode show that handles boundary-pushing material with tired, derivative clichés instead of reaching for something original and funny." Carter Dotson of "TV Fanatic" gave the episode two out of five stars, saying "The biggest laugh of the night came via a cutaway, where Peter as a Mexican soap opera star slapped three women and flew away in a giant sombrero. It made no sense and left me feeling terrible for myself that I laughed at it. But it was still better than most everything else tonight. Oh, and there was the irony of the band Chicago playing during a scene that took place in Boston. Hah. I don’t expect this show to be intelligent humor, but I do want to walk out of it without that kind of icky feeling that makes me regret having ever watched it in the first place." |

= = = Michael Foster (footballer) = = = |
Michael Foster (born 5 September 1985) is a Papua New Guinean football player who plays as a midfielder for Hekari United, and for the Papua New Guinea national team. |
He currently is the record-holder for the most caps for the Papua New Guinea national team, with 27, having made his senior international debut aged 17. He was also part of the historic Hekari United side which won the 2009–10 OFC Champions League, becoming the first club outside of Australia and New Zealand to represent Oceania at the FIFA Club World Cup. |
He has won four domestic titles, two with Hekari United and two with Lae City FC. |
Foster was born in Lae, in the Momase Region of the country. He is the son of former international goalkeeper Max Foster. |
It is likely Foster began his career around 2003 at Mopi, a club based in his hometown of Lae. The side had won the inaugural Papua New Guinea National Club Championship in 1976 and again in 1981. When Foster joined the club, the side had been readmitted to the local Lae Premier League, but the club finished bottom of the league. |
For the 2004 season, Foster moved to Port Moresby to play for Cosmos in the Port Moresby Premier League. The club reached the Preliminary Final on 24 October, but lost to Rapatona, meaning they finished third. |
It is unclear where Foster played between 2004 and 2008. |
Foster was part of the Hekari United squad for the 2008–09 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League. He scored the only goal in the side's 1–0 semi-final victory over Welgris Highlanders, before the playoffs were called off and Hekari declared champions as the best regular season team. |
As champions, the club qualified for the 2009–10 OFC Champions League, and Foster was retained ahead of the new season. The club ended up winning the Champions League, becoming the first club outside of Australia and New Zealand to do so, and Foster was an unused substitute in the second leg of the final against Waitakere United. Hekari United went on to win the domestic title in the 2010–11 National Soccer League, beating Eastern Stars 4–0 in the Grand Final. |
In July 2010, it was announced that Foster was one of three players released by Hekari United to make way for new recruits ahead of the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup, denying Foster the chance to impress on the world stage. Foster joined current runners-up Eastern Stars for the following season, and the club finished second in the regular season of the 2010–11 National Soccer League, eventually taking on former club Hekari in the Grand Final. Stars went down 4–0. |
Foster stayed with Eastern Stars for the 2011–12 season, and the club enjoyed another successful season, coming second in the regular season and reaching the Grand Final – and another match-up with Foster's former club Hekari – once again. However, the club suffered the same fate in the final, losing 3–0 to the champions. |
For the 2013 season, Foster joined new club FC Port Moresby, and despite the club finishing third in the regular season, Foster found himself once again up against Hekari United in the Grand Final, and again the midfielder was left empty-handed, with Hekari securing a 3–0 victory. |
With FC Port Moresby withdrawing from the 2014 National Soccer League, it looked like Foster would return to Eastern Stars, having trained with them early in January 2014, but he eventually went to Admiralty, another new franchise for the season. He was named captain for the season. In Foster's worst domestic season to date, the club finished fifth and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Foster stayed with the club for the 2015 season, but the club again finished fifth and outside of qualification for the playoffs. |
Ahead of the 2015–16 season, Foster moved to Rapatona, with whom he had occasionally joined up with in the local Port Moresby Premier League during previous NSL off-seasons. Despite losing four matches out of ten in the first stage, the club qualified for the four-team Champions Playoff in February 2016. However, ahead of the final stage, Foster moved to Lae City Dwellers, and the side qualified for the Grand Final behind Hekari United. After being defeated in all of his previous three Grand Finals, Foster picked up his third domestic title after Lae defeated Hekari 2–0 in the final. Foster was also part of the side's 2016 OFC Champions League campaign, scoring in the club's 5–4 defeat to Solomon Warriors. |
With the problems surfacing domestic with the , Foster moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Solomon Islands side Malaita Kingz in August 2016 for the entirety of the 2016 Solomon Islands S-League. The club finished fourth. |
In 2017, Foster joined Geelong SC, competing in the Victorian State League Division 1, a league on the fourth level of the Australian league system. The side finished in second place, with Foster playing 16 matches for the club and scoring a single goal, before returning to Malaita Kingz for the second half of the 2017–18 S-League season. |
Ahead of the 2018 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, Foster joined Madang FC to boost their maiden OFC Champions League campaign. Foster played in all three of the club's group matches, but the side exited the competition without a point. Domestically, Madang finished in fourth place. |
However, Foster secured a return to champions Lae City before the start of the 2019 season, and as such was part of the squad for the 2019 OFC Champions League. Foster played in all four of the side's matches as they reached the quarter-finals, playing the full 90 minutes in their 4–0 knockout defeat to Auckland City. However, Foster was able to pick up his fourth domestic title after Lae City defeated his former club Hekari United on penalties in the 2019 Grand Final. Foster scored the opening penalty in the shoot-out. |
After a brief stint with Malaita Kingz again at the end of 2019, Foster rejoined Hekari United for the 2019–20 season. |
