Dear all,

Congratulations, to you, you made it to the end of the week! Congratulations to me, the Wikipedia Test resources are finally available!

What is the Wikipedia Test? A tool for policymakers and advocates to assess whether a bill would break Wikipedia. If the answer is yes, it’s probably a bad policy for other public interest platforms. How does it work? Why do we need it? Those are great questions. Instead of making you read a long email here, I recommend you can go straight to the blog post, click on the webinar details in the post, and decide how you would describe it, and if you like it (I hope you do). 

 📅 We’re offering two sessions to accommodate different time zones — please join whichever suits you best. Feel free to share widely with your networks. This tool, and the webinars, are for everyone who wants to do their part to promote a diverse, vibrant internet that includes platforms that serve the public interest. Platforms like OpenStreetMap, digital archives of cultural heritage, Reddit, and of course, Wikipedia.
