Hmmm. This is a pretty decent take on the current state of #Wikipedia.

It’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! 🎉

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.)

Searched #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)

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! 🎉
