Many thanks Sara for sharing, that's really useful and I'll be having a read of the Guides with my volunteer tomorrow. It's great to have been made aware of all the help that's out there - cheers again, I feel more equipped to now take this one forward. It's an opportunity (as the saying goes).
Jude.

Hi there, I'm a Wikimedian in Residence with Museums Galleries Scotland, and I'm sorry to hear that you had these issues! I think that Andy's probably already said much of what I would but I wanted to provide a few links to some help pages which might be of interest either to you or to others on the list.
Getting started guide for GLAMs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Getting_started
Plain & simple guide to conflict of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide
General getting-started / tutorial links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Getting_started
Also, this booklet might also be of interest, it's got some good examples of the kind of GLAM-Wiki projects which have been undertaken in the past: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/WMUK_GLAM_booklet_2014.pdf
As with Andy, if you (or indeed anyone else on the list) would like to email me directly I'd be more than happy to help if I can!
Best,
Sara Thomas
