Oh boy. The #Wikipedia article on the Iran war lists “Iranian victory” as the war’s result on the article infobox. (But this is tagged as disputed and there’s a lively discussion on the article’s talk page.)
I’m sure this will not help with the very dim view of Wikipedia already held by conservative, MAGA, and Israel-allied sections in the United States and Israel. 🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸

Ah... what better way to start a Saturday morning at 5:20am then getting into a discussion of the capitalization of "Internet" on a #Wikipedia Talk page! 🤣

One typical use of AI coding assistants in my work right now: generating locator maps for Bolivian municipalities on #Wikipedia with Posit AI, R, sf package, and public data.
The process was not fast, but now I'm enjoying the power of code to churn out all 339 of these.

Denne artikel er på mange måder, et sindbillede på problemet med den danske Wikipedia. Artiklen omhandler en kvinde, der har gjort en stor indsats på et vigtigt område og artiklen findes på alle vores nabosprog, men altså ikke på dansk. #wikipedia htt…

Reading the Artemis II article on Wikipedia, I noticed the Wikipedia BabyGlobe spinning in space on the side.
Wonderful!

Say what you want about #SpiritAirlines and their recent closure, but they apparently have never had a crash in their 33-year history according to #Wikipedia:

Yeesh. I tried to do an article merge on the Spanish #Wikipedia because it somehow ended up with duplicate articles on the same subject.
Obviously this is pretty hard to do because I barely understand #Spanish and I did the mistake of turning one page into a redirect which is apparently a no-no judg…

When you're at home waiting for someone's plane to take off at the nearby airport, what do you do to occupy yourself while you are waiting?
I know some people doom-scroll social media... some watch a show... some read...

Yet again, days without being reminded not to donate to #wikipedia a dime: 0.

#TIL that there is this viral AI-generated video series called Fruit Love Island, and it’s apparently so viral that numerous outlets have written about it thereby making it nominally notable to have its own #Wikipedia article. 😳

No more donations to Wikipedia until their entire staff is unionized then. Ideally also the management fired.
