@claudinec @_elena Thank you for your efforts! 🙇♀️ Other than WikiEdu I referenced above ☝️, can you point to specific #Wikipedia / #Wikimedia initiatives that you're referring to?

@_elena @nclm Glad to see @nclm beat me to it! 😆 I just added a caption translation and extra info to the "Structured data" tab of the #Wikimedia photo so it can be (hopefully) more discoverable:

BTW @_elena if you want, you could include links to your Fediverse profiles, website, etc. to your Wikimedia account page!

Really happy to see the #Fediverse and Wikimedia-verse #multiverse coming together. 😅

@_elena Thanks! Oh and speaking of #Wikipedia, a possible example of what you could do is to edit the Wikipedia article about the Fediverse:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

By inserting your stock photo from #Wikimedia Commons! One place for it could be under the "Software" sub-heading of that article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse#Software

I like how different parts of the Wikimedia-verse ties together like the different platforms/apps of the #Fediverse. 😁

@_elena Excited to see this "stock" photo published, thank you for all that you have done (and are doing)! ❤️ 🙏

May I strongly suggest also publishing your images and (upcoming) videos to #Wikimedia Commons?

Unsplash may help with exposure, but the Wikimedia Commons is much more in line with the spirit of the #Fediverse and #opensource tech!

P.S. This is not the same as #Wikipedia, though you may want to post something there, too!

A decade of collaboration between #Wikimedia UK and the National Library of Wales: Building a sustainable future for Welsh culture online - https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/01/27/a-decade-of-collaboration-between-wikimedia-uk-and-the-national-library-of-wales-building-a-sustainable-future-for-welsh-culture-online/ #wales

@wikimediafoundation I and many others would be interested to know what is being done for data security under the new regime, as the Foundation is based in the USA. Will Wikipedia be save?

Looks like @wikimediafoundation is at least pausing its use of X "for now".

Now would be a good time for additional #Wikimedia chapters to explicitly exit X (and why not Meta, while you're at it :-) to keep the momentum going.

Just finalized my annual donation to #Wikipedia and the #Wikimedia Foundation as they're now under major attack from the world's richest person and likely first trillionaire in history.

Whatever you think of them as a organization, it's still a major #publicservice and we need more of that than ever before.

No comments required 🤷♂️

On wikimedia.de is a page with donation comments, does anyone know if there is one for .org and maybe others? I want to see the burns! 🔥

Good to see that @creativecommons quietly discontinued their X account in November, focusing instead on Mastodon and #Bluesky.

I hope we'll soon see more of the #Wikimedia movement do the same. A few chapters (notably Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland) have done so, but Wikimedia Foundation still maintains a very active presence on X, as do most chapters.

Civil society must discontinue its presence on a platform that's become weaponized to promote hate and authoritarianism world-wide.

If you think #InternetArchive items should be mirrored a bit more, feel free to download and seed a few #Wikimedia image dump torrents (34 TB) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Emijrp/Wikipedia_Archive#Image_tarballs or some of the IA-backed Academic Torrents https://academictorrents.com/browse.php?search=%22archive.org%22&sort_field=size&sort_dir=DESC (multiple TBs).

@Life_is

Is this a method to upload to #Wikimedia using a #VPN even without an account?

They show #IPblock: "Your user name or IP address has been blocked." on signup 😅
