@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 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. 😁

  Fediverse
  
  The Fediverse (commonly shortened to Fedi) is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as federation) using a common protocol. Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network. The term Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe". The majority of Fediverse platforms are free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub. Design While a traditional social networking service will host all its content on servers managed by the owner of the website, the decentralized servers that make up the Fediverse allow any individual or organization to host their own servers (referred to as an "instance"). Every instance is independent, and can...

@_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!
