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

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…

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

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. 🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸

I have a couple of images promoted to featured picture status on the English #Wikipedia. But I had not explored similar processes on #WikimediaCommons.
Well, I tried nominating my photo of a historical marker for the quality images guidelines and it just got promoted! 🎉

Photo of a cast iron plaque with painted white text on a black base with the following inscription:

Katedral ng Albay

Itinatag ng mga Pransiskano ang misyon sa Albay na dating visita ng Cagsaua, 1587. Itinayo ang unang simbahang yari sa kahoy at nipa sa patronato ni San Gregorio Magno. Naging ganap na parokya, 1616. Ipinaayos gawa sa tabla, 1635. Nasunog, 1754. Itinayo yari sa bato ni Padre Pedro Romero, 1834. Nasunog noong digmaan laban sa mga Amerikano, 1900. Nasira ang ilang bahagi noong I…

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.

My user contribution page on Commons.wikimedia.org dispalying five locator maps for Bolivian municipalities.

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

New roommate #wikipedia #babyglobe

Baby Globe, a cuddly mascot celebrating Wikipedia’s 25th birthday. The plushie is a friend-shaped iconic puzzle-piece globe with sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, and bright blue arms and feet. Baby Globe serves as a cute representation of "a world in which every human being can freely take part in the sharing of all knowledge" (Jimmy Wales).
