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
My name is Mary Mark Ockerbloom, and I am a Wikipedian. Among other activities, I have written a Wikipedia Workbook for Cultural Institutions (2024, 2nd edition). I work as a Wikipedian in Residence with educational, scientific and cultural organizations to fill knowledge gaps on Wikipedia. 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. I follow Wikipedia's COI Guidelines and act in accordance with its mission.
Past or current partners include the Science History Institute and the scientific publisher Annual Reviews, for whom I created content in the areas of science, history of science, and women in science. These are areas in which I have written extensively on Wikipedia.
Since 2006 I have edited Wikipedia 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. WikiSalon has produced a number of Demonstrations and other resources.
MBH Foundation
- Wikipedian In Residence (November 1, 2025-ongoing, half-time): As Wikipedian in Residence for the MBH Foundation, I improve content relating to air quality and public health on Wikipedia using reliable published sources. My work for the MBH Foundation is done under a secondary user account, User:MMO Tracking, for tracking purposes. My personal editing is done under my main account, Mary Mark Ockerbloom.
Annual Reviews
- 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.
Science History Institute
- 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.
A Celebration of Women Writers
- Editor (Ongoing, volunteer, 1994-present): A Celebration of Women Writers lists 26,000+ women authors, 22,000+ author information links, and 19,000+ freely readable on-line books by women. I have also republished 435 books online, in particular travel accounts, science fiction, and Newbery award winners.
