I have been editing Wikipedia since 2004, organizing Wikipedia partnerships with community organizations since 2006, and professionally developing Wikipedia content as a researcher since 2012. I am as engaged in Wikipedia and as networked with other editors as a person can be. Since 2018, I have been a data scientist and Wikimedian in Residence at the University of Virginia School of Data Science. Strategically in the Wikimedia Movement, university partnerships can support our online community in better joining global discussions on public policy, human rights, strategic planning, accounting and financial review, and information science partnerships of all kinds. The Wikimedia Foundation staff are great but also overwhelmed, and to react quickly enough to fast-moving technological changes, collaborations with any modest university will bring in more relevant subject matter experts and student research assistants than the Wikimedia Foundation can afford to employ. Empowering the Wikipedia community to do organized crowdsourced efforts is our first priority, and our second priority is recruiting crowdsourced partnerships with institutions like universities, cultural institutions, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
