After the struggle trying to present on a Mac at the #wmhack showcase it feels good to have a better prepared video that explains the workflow on Commons now: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CommonsDB_Wikimedia_hackathon_-_narrated_showcase_video.webm

@evan See you there soon then!

@evan Are you going to the hackathon in Milan too?

@evan I'm going with Wiktionarys fifth definition and then it was when trying to figure out how to answer to this poll.

@forteller we had one in our Swedish webbshop some 12 years ago :)

@forteller they could also combine the "Wikipedia editor" they have with a second message "Be the change" :)

@forteller good idea! The closest thing they have now seems to be the edit shirt https://store.wikimedia.org/products/wikipedia-edit-shirt

Time to vote in the first round for the name of the new wiki supporting @wikifunctions and @Wikidata to create content that can be rendered in multiple languages on (probably, eventually) all of the Wikimedia projects. I suggested Wikimedia Babel. 🤓
You can vote until 3 November and on all proposals that you like. (You must have made 25 edits before 1 Sept to be eligeble to vote.) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Abstract_Wikipedia_naming_contest/More_proposals

@evan I am not sure if it is language or culture shining through, but I would say that a person with a tattoo, regardless of the covered area, is a tattoo person.

@inthehands not a tip for the alt text, but just admitting as someone who have no expertise in whatever it is trying to show I don't understand it at all *even though* I can see the image. So perhaps this is an image that can assume expertise to be understood?

@evan disagree can mean two things: 1) it never worked well, or 2) it still works well.

@evan exactly! Or (easily) London to the west or Berlin in the East.

@evan i answered region, but what I really mean is if I can reach it by train in less than 8 hours.

En ny favoritartikel på svenskspråkiga #Wikipedia: Svartå socken. Så mycket kärlek som har lagts på den artikeln med fina kartor, diagram, bilder och källor. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svartr%C3%A5_socken

On this day 9 years ago, I started my company Open By Default. (It went through a pause and a move from Sweden to the Netherlands during that time.) If you need any help in anything becoming more open or advice about working in the open, I'm here to help! https://openbydefault.se #OpenByDefault #otd #OnThisDay

This is quite the niche topic, so may not be for everyone, but if you are curious about what kind of AI tools are gently being rolled out on #Wikipedia and how they will be used by the communities of volunteers, this #podcast where I interview Sam Walton from @wikimediafoundation may be interesting. https://wikipediapodden.se/automoderator-294/

I'm creating a lightning talk, and I'm looking for fun stories or anecdotes of people in serious settings totally misunderstanding #OpenSource. I already have some great examples that @bagder has shared over the years, so now it's up to you others to chip in!

I know that there are different conventions if a week starts on a Monday or a Sunday. But why, oh why, is LinkedIn giving me this notification on a Wednesday?

För exakt två år sedan släppte vi avsnitt 200 av @wikipediapodden och gästades av @JohanJ

#otd

Om allt flyter på kommer vi troligtvis till avsnitt 300 någon gång i februari. Är det något du undrat över om #wikipedia som vi borde ta upp?
