Hi all, it's Wikipedia Day today and on the suggestion of Ivan, I've been retweeting some things from the #GraciasWikipedia hashtag (which is apparently trending in Mexico), and also liked and target-shared related content on FB. Nick from Wikivoyage thankfully reminded us that it's the first anniversary of Wikivoyage as well. And we are just putting out a blog post about the 13th birthday. If you see any other RT-worthy anniversary content, feel free to bring it up here. -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB
