A two-month long “Wiki for Senior Citizens
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/August_2022/Wiki_For_Senior_Citizens>”
training has recently kicked off in Abuja, Nigeria. The group, facilitated
by Igbo Wikipedia Working Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Igbo_Wikimedians_User_Group> co-founder
Obialugeriaku Ezeilo, is teaching the finer points of information
technology and how to edit to retirees age 55 and older.

Click to tweet me <https://ctt.ac/kA_0g>: To truly represent the sum
of all human knowledge, @Wikipedia needs everyone. A training by
@bObyEzeilo1 of @wikimediaigbo in Abuja, Nigeria, called “Wiki For Senior
Citizens” is part of the solution.

NPR contributes
<https://www.npr.org/2022/09/15/1122943829/wikipedia--queen-elizabeth-ii-death-deaditors-editors-article>
to the recent wave of attention and appreciation for volunteers’ incredibly
speedy work to keep Wikipedia current. This follows a tsunami of traffic
<https://twitter.com/Wikipedia/status/1568261424513798144> on Wikipedia
immediately after the death of Queen Elizabeth II was announced on 8
September.

Click to tweet me <https://ctt.ac/4e0u1>: "Seconds after the news
came out that Queen Elizabeth had died, the edit conflicts on the article
for her just absolutely spiked," said @anniierau. @npr reports on
@Wikipedia editors’ nearly instantaneous response to the global news:
