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…

Since 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.

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! 🎉

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.

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

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:
