One of these is the Wikipedia main menu.
The other is the Atlassian main menu.
The Wikipedia main menu button is called a "Hamburger Button".
What shall we call Atlassian's? The "Sloppy Hamburger Button"?

🥳 Ukrainian Wikipedia turns 21.
21 years ago a Ukrainian teenager who lived in Japan created [[uk:Атом]],
#Ukrainian #Wikipedia’s first article. Today we have 1,36 million articles –
and counting.

J'espère qu'il y aura assez de biblio pour l'atelier #Wikipedia 🙂

> It neglects the "cost" of human work being done before that point to curate and validate all the data going into that AI model.
That is a cost for #wikipedia that would have welcomed such contribution. Otherwise that is a plain and simple added-value to the companies, and countries taking part in this, so called, curation.

@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?

And the photo is now on the #Wikipedia page for the #Fediverse! 🥳

How did this happen?
Encouraged by @nacly I created a Wikimedia account and uploaded the photo here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_smartphone_apps_(photo_by_Elena_Rossini).jpg
And @nclm was super kind to add it to the Fediverse page (English and French). I can't thank you enough!!! ❤️

@_elena YES, happy to edit the article for you!
That said, I share your struggles editing #Wikipedia and have only made minor typo-level edits, and added exactly one image to an article. AFAIK they're trying to improve the editing experience.
Sidenote: I am reassured that there are efforts to improve representation. The WikiEdu non-profit works with universities to turn Wikipedia editing into student projects! Such as improving #LGBTQ inclusion:

@_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. 😁
Pen
@_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?
https://commons.wikimedia.org/
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!

"El ataque de Elon Musk a #Wikipedia no es un hecho aislado. Es parte de una ofensiva más amplia contra los espacios que representan una alternativa al modelo hegemónico de #internet. Defendámoslos. Porque, al final, el futuro de la red es también el futuro de nuestra democracia y de nuestra capacidad colectiva para imaginar un mundo más justo".

Un fait #linguistique amusant :
la langue française actuelle a retenu au moins deux fois plus de mots d'origine arabe que de mots d'origine gauloise (une petite centaine difficile à certifier).
Évidemment la période d'intégration de ces mots est à prendre en compte.

Tiny Apocalyptic Time Tip 🌐✨
If you too feel uneasy about
the state of the world,
and you too worry about losing access to one of the greatest knowledge treasure of the internet,
Know that you can download an
offline copy of Wikipedia!
Here's how 📚👇
1. Download the free and open source software Kiwix (this will be your reader): https://kiwix.org/en/applications/
2. If you want smaller versions of Wikipedia, you can download them within Kiwix.
Within the app, go to "Categories" in the menu on the left, then browse to a topic/version you want. Scroll to the bottom for Wikipedia mini, for example. Click on it then click "Download" on the right :neocat_book:
3. Once you have downloaded a database, click on "Opened" on the left > database you want to search > "Open Main Page" on the right.
4. You can use the Search field on the upper-right to find topics like on online Wikipedia! 🔍
5. If you want the full English version of Wikipedia (110GB), you might want to download it from the torrent file instead. Install a torrent client of your choice (I use Transmission).
Then, go to this page, click on "Download - 109.89 GB" blue button on the first result (size may vary overtime), then select "Torrent file": https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&category=wikipedia
6. Once you have the torrent file, open it with your torrent client to start the download. This is BIG! Be patient! 📦
7. Once the download is completed, open your Wikipedia `.zim` file with Kiwix!
8. Magic! 📖✨
Extra Tip: You can download many other awesome knowledge files from the Kiwix Library! Personally, I also got the iFixit knowledge base! ⚒️ :blobcatrainbow:

In light of US tech oligarchy setting its sights on Wikimedia Foundation, a historical detail I did not know before: #Wikipedia became the non-profit it is today partly as the result of a labour strike of Spanish Wikipedia editors who disagreed with the proposed inclusion of advertisements. Initially, it was not clear what revenue model Wikipedia would get, and Wales moved towards a for-profit model already a year after launch. However, rather than working for free, so Jimmy Wales could profit from their labour via advertising, Spanish contributors forked Spanish Wikipedia as the Encyclopedia Libre Universal. Under the threat of losing the editorial community of such a large language, Wales conceded and set up the non-profit.
That is to say, however imperfect they are, all the digital commons we have are the result of ongoing struggle and hard work to keep them as commons.
