Has the foundation name changed to Wiki Education or has it always been that? Note: Official page: uses "Wiki Education", not "Wiki Education Foundation". Perhaps a move is in order. Ping User:Sage (Wiki Ed). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:54, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
A WikiEDU web site was launched under the same domain on June 3, 2006 (archive from 2008). Its home page said it was "inspired by Wikipedia". Does anyone have a clue where it went and how it relates to the current WikiEdu? Elominius (talk) 11:48, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
I serve on the Wiki Education board of directors and will either request edits here on Talk or make some factual contributions to update outdated information on the main page. Board service is unpaid, but my COI is obvious. I'm disclosing that affiliation now, may edit some factual information (e.g., Chair of the Board, material to fill out an organization infobox) if there are no objections here on Talk over the next couple weeks. If there are such objections, I will make a series of edit requests instead.
Ideally, someone else could take the initiative from me and do a general update based on the documents linked on Wiki Education's meta page (annual reports, staff and board lists etc.), within the constraints of WP:SELFSOURCE.-- Carwil (talk) 17:56, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

I would like to request the following edits:
It runs the Wikipedia Education Program which promotes the integration of Wikipedia into coursework by educators in Canada and the United States.
The statement isn't accurate on a number of levels. The Wikipedia Education Program is today Wikimedia Education, and it's a global programme. When Wiki Education was launched, it took over the activities formerly carried out by Wikipedia Education Program in the United States and Canada, but the remainder of the programme remained. (See pp. 254-255 and 265 in "The Wikipedia Education Program as Open Educational Practice: Global Stories"[1] published by Springer in 2023).[2]
sometimes abbreviated Wiki Edprobably shouldn't be in the lead.
In April 2014, Schulenburg represented Wiki Ed at the World Literacy Summit in Oxford. The conference aims to make global improvements to literacy.feels a bit UNDUE, since it's one venue, eight years ago (and, incidentally, he's speaking there again this year).[5]
