“ Building on the momentum of the GLAM-WIKI conference in Australia in August 2009, this workshop was thought important enough by Museums and the Web conference organizers Jennifer Trant and David Bearman to be given an entire day at the prestigious international conference and had the goal of "exploring and developing policies that will enable museums to better contribute to and use Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons, and for the Wikimedia community to benefit from the expertise in museums." ”

“ On Tuesday, 13 April 2010 over 50 leaders from the global museum sector were invited to meet with 11 Wikimedians for a day-long workshop in Denver, Colorado to discuss collaboration between the two communities. ”

“ For example, Pellegrini noted that "It was clear that museums ... are reluctant to release free images for fear of losing revenue. Yet this is one of the first things that Wikipedians want from such a collaboration." Wyatt discovered that the prohibition against adding "external links" was being interpreted by museums as a prohibition against adding references in addition to promotional links. While the issue of multimedia collaboration was continually raised at the conference, Wyatt and others attempted to demonstrate that there were possibilities for content partnerships as well. ”
