Tamsin is based in the university library's engagement team, and has been working with staff and students at the university to understand how they can engage with Wikipedia and other Wiki projects. A lot of Tamsin's work aims to improve the understanding of how Wikipedia is put together and how to use it properly. Alongside editing training and working with staff to improve Wikipedia pages directly, she has run polls to find out what teachers had told students about using Wikipedia, and made an activity where you have to sort Wikipedia features like neutral point of view or warning banners into whether those features increase trust or not. [https://www.lianza.org.nz/media/dz0j2zjz/te-rau-ora-library-life-issue-511-june-2026.pdf The article is freely readable online, check it out!]. Tamsin has also been working on Wikidata and Wikipedia pages relating to the anniversary of an important New Zealand institution, the Dunedin Teacher Training College, which was the first teacher training college in the country. The College is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. === Completion of the Bioeconomy of Science Wikimedian in Residence === [[File:Bioeconomy Science Institute Engagement Strategy with Wikimedia Platforms.pdf|thumb|The BSI engagement strategy.]] This Wikimedian in Residence came to an end on the 30th of June 2026.
