Thousands of times every day we make the most fundamental of decisions -- whether to build up or tear down.

My opinion on AI can be summarized by this advice to Ginny Weasley: "Never trust something that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain."

Positions

edit

My name is Mary Mark Ockerbloom, and I am a Wikipedian. Among other activities, I work with educational, scientific and cultural organizations to fill knowledge gaps on Wikipedia. I have written a Wikipedia Workbook for Cultural Institutions (2024, 2nd edition). I advise partners on the appropriate use of Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. I assess whether or not specific topics would be suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia, based on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including notability, neutrality, verifiability, and conflict of interest. I create and update information on Wikimedia platforms to summarize accepted knowledge, written neutrally and sourced reliably, to ensure that such information is accurate and up-to-date. In this work, I follow the COI Guidelines and act in accordance with Wikipedia’s mission.

Past or current partners include the Science History Institute, the scientific publisher Annual Reviews, and Capital Media Group, for whom I create content relating to education and public programming in the areas of science, the history of science, and women in science. These are areas in which I have written extensively on Wikipedia.

I have edited Wikipedia since 2006, writing widely in areas that include literature, art, craft, science and disinformation. I have written articles for the Signpost and presented at WikiConference North America. I have been a full-time Wikipedian in Residence at the Science History Institute and at Annual Reviews. I also give workshops and talks and co-host the online Philadelphia WikiSalon, a meetup for editors who want to learn more about Wikimedia projects and develop their skills.

  • Wikipedian In Residence (May 4, 2021-December 22, 2023, occasional thereafter): As Wikipedian in Residence for Annual Reviews, I helped to keep science current on Wikipedia using open-content published sources. My work for Annual Reviews is done under a secondary user account, User:MaryMO (AR), for tracking purposes. My personal editing is done under my main account, Mary Mark Ockerbloom.
  • Wikipedian In Residence (May 2013-June 22, 2020): Contracts at Chemical Heritage Foundation, Philadelphia, PA, May-June 2013; September-December 2013; January-June, 2014; Ongoing staff as of September 4, 2014; renamed the Science History Institute as of February 1, 2018; one of 16 positions ended due to "a reduction in force" as of June 22, 2020.
