In early 2014, following the revelation that she had edited Wikipedia articles on behalf of paying clients, the Foundation announced that she was "no longer an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation.[3]

Early life and education[editar]

In 2012, she graduated from George Washington University with a Master's degree in Museum Studies.[4]

Career[editar]

Music promotion[editar]

In 1997, Stierch began working in club promotions in Indianapolis, Indiana, with Matt Chandler. Stierch and Chandler were professionally known as "Temporary Structures". Together, they were successful in bringing various national acts to Indianapolis, including Fugazi, Poster Children, U.S. Bombs, and Sweep the Leg Johnny.[5]​ Stierch also worked under the name DJ Sarah Vain, as a DJ in clubs around the city.[6][1]​ In addition to working with Chandler, she has worked with DJs Dead Billy and Greg Campbell.[7][8]

Museum curation[editar]

In 2007, Stierch began serving as the director of the Domont Studio Gallery in Indianapolis, where she curated The Contemporary View: The Midwestern Landscape and Director's Choice 2008 exhibits of John J. Domont.[9][10]​ In 2009, following her graduation from IUPUI, she served internships with Colonial Williamsburg's American Indian Initiative; the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C.; and the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. In 2011, she began working as a research assistant with the head curator of the National Museum of African American History & Culture. In September 2011, she served an internship with the American Association of Museums.[11]

Open culture advocacy[editar]

In 2011, Stierch was appointed as the first Wikipedian in Residence for the Archives of American Art, where she worked to improve online access to their collections. In 2012, she was named the Wikipedian in Residence for the Smithsonian Institution Archives.[12][13][14]

In January 2012, Stierch began serving a one-year Community Fellowship with the Wikimedia Foundation. In this role, she co-developed the Teahouse Project to improve editor engagement and retention of editors working on Wikipedia.[15]​ In her role as a Wikimedia Fellow, she drew attention to the relatively small proportion of women editing Wikipedia,[16][17]​ through Wikipedia edit-a-thons, opinion editorials, and similar activities.[12][18][19][20][17][21]​ In January 2013, the WikiWomen's Collaborative was launched through efforts made during Stierch's 2012 Community Fellowship.[22][17]

In January 2013, Stierch began working with Open Knowledge Foundation's OpenGLAM project, which focuses on working with galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs), in order to improve open access to materials held in trust by these institutions. Stierch's role as the U.S.-based OpenGLAM Coordinator for the Open Knowledge Foundation, includes assisting the Foundation with improving public accessibility to their content and resources.[23]​ That same month, she began working as a Wikipedian in Residence for the World Digital Library at the Library of Congress.[11]​ In January 2014, the Wikimedia Foundation announced that Stierch was "no longer an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation", after evidence was presented on a Wikimedia mailing list that she had been editing Wikipedia on behalf of paying clients, a practice the Wikimedia Foundation said was "frowned upon by many in the editing community and by the Wikimedia Foundation".[3]
