@seav@en.osm.townYeesh. 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…
@johl@mastodon.xyzSince the beginning of this week – following hard work by volunteers and the approval by the Wikimedia language committee – there’s now a #Wikipedia in the Interslavic (medžuslovjansky / меджусловјанскы) language.

@seav@en.osm.townI 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! 🎉

@seav@en.osm.townOh 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. 🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸

@tomkalei@machteburch.socialThere is no article about Winfried Bruns on #Wikipedia ??
He is mentioned in many pages, e.g. the one on depth: #math
@danyork@mastodon.socialIt’s a good way to end a day when I stumble upon a #Wikipedia article that I can easily update to have more current info! 🎉
(The moment of reading an article and realizing “hey, I have seen something more recent that isn’t here!” And then going and finding some reliable sources and adding content…)

@tomkalei@machteburch.socialSearched #Wikipedia for my name and found that there was a Thomas Kahle on Danmarks Næste Topmodel Season 6. He made it to Episode 9!
But in the comments below it says:
Thomas Kahle did not modeling after the show. (sic)
