Dear ones,
Where might I get or mirror a dump of Commons media files?
> It seems worth mentioning on the front page of
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/
> It looks like the compressed XML of the ~50M description pages is ~25GB.
> It looks like wiki-team set up a dump script that posted monthly dumps to
the internet archive; in 2013 it stopped include the month+year in the
title; in 2016 it stopped altogether.

Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Survey on data visualization for Wikipedia
To: Research into Wikimedia content and communities <
wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi!
As a part of my job at OBC Transeuropa <https://www.balcanicaucaso.org/eng>
among the other things I contribute to Wikipedia and Commons with graphs
and text coming from EDJNet <https://www.europeandatajournalism.eu/>, a
data journalism network we promote that is publishing its content with a
free license.
In the attempt of inserting graphs using MediaWiki instead of svg images I
realised the tool now available are cumbersome and there is the
possibilities for improvement.
Thus we are making a survey to understand if Wikipedia users are interested
in having better tools, allowing to publish better graphs more easily. So
I ask you to please spend a few minutes of your time to let us now what you
think :)
https://surveys.europeandatajournalism.eu/quiz/data-visualization-for-wikip…
The survey is anonymous. You will be given the opportunity to leave your
e-mail address to receive updates on developments, but this is optional.
The results of the survey will be published on EDJNet and on Meta, and I
will also link them here.
Let me know if you have any questions! Thank you!
Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti
