It is also worth bearing in mind that Liam Wyatt was at the British Museum only for a short time in summer 2010; and that Matthew Cock, the Head of Web with whom most of the Wikimedia dealings went on, was concerned mainly with public engagement rather than open content, and left the BM in 2014. I see no point in overstating what a WiR can do, but of course others may disagree.
