Affiliates are the recognized organizations and groups in the Wikimedia movement that support volunteers, advocate for free knowledge and come together as the backbone of the movement. We talk about how Wikimedia’s somewhat ad hoc affiliate landscape has emerged, discuss the relationship between organizations and communities, and imagine what role affiliates can play in a future global council.
Our guests are...
- Elisabeth Carrera, Elisabeth has been Executive Director of Wikimedia Norway since August 2022. She started her career in GLAM, and then moved on to management positions within the knowledge sector and cultural heritage.
- Andrew Lih, Andrew Lih has been a Wikipedia editor since 2003 and is an administrator on English Wikipedia and Wikidata. He is the author of the 2009 book The Wikipedia Revolution: How a bunch of nobodies created the world’s greatest encyclopedia.

In this podcast episode we interview two long-time non-binary Wikipedia editors, Pax and Tamzin. They discuss their efforts to improve the representation of marginalized groups and reduce harassment on Wikipedia, reinforcing the importance of the movement strategy's focus on safety and inclusion. The guests talked about their fight against vandalism and provided a critical perspective on the neutral point of view policy. The episode sheds light on the challenges and the progress that we face as a Movement as we try to create a Wikipedia that is safer and that better represents trans and non-binary people and content.
