Hi all
I was asked by my chapter to promote Wikimedia Poland using Diaspora
network. Apparently it is quite popular among people related to open
education in Poland and it might be a good idea to try to reach to them
using this site.
I'm not very familiar with Diaspora so I would really appreciate some
advice on that. Does anyone here have any experience with using this
network to promote Wikimedia projects? Did you find it useful or not
really? Are there any tips or/and stories you would like to share?

Hey all,
I think this has been proposed before on this list, but I'm bringing it up
again :)
We could potentially borrow DYK entries from Wikipedia's front page for use
on social. Here's some benefits to this:
- It's cheap, and requires only the avoidance of anything
controversial/potentially promotional,
- It's a good way to keep our social feeds active,
- Wikipedia articles generally do very well on social media, as Michael
can attest, and
- It's a great way to get more eyes on newly improved articles, which is
good for the community.
Some of them might need to be trimmed, but this is a potential one for
Facebook as an example:
• that the woman in Vilhelm Hammershøi's Interior with Young Woman Seen
from the Back is the painter's wife, whom he often painted facing away from
the viewer?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_with_Young_Woman_Seen_from_the_Back
What do we think of this? (Forgive me if we already have an answer for
this!)
best,
Joe

I don't think so, what do you have in mind?

We are getting close to the milestone of 5 million articles on English
Wikipedia.
Some ideas have previously been discussed at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28miscellaneous%29/Ar…
and I'd like to build off of those. Victor, would you have enough time in
your work calendar to make a brief celebration video?

Hello everyone,
YouTube personalities, the "Vlogbrothers", have a video of how one could
encode and decode all of English Wikipedia onto a QR code. It's fantastic!
t: Could you get all of English Wikipedia by scanning one QR code? Vlogbro
@johngreen finds out.
t: How large would a QR code need to be to scan all 24 trillion bytes of
English Wikipedia?
t: Vlogbrother @johngreen does the math of how to fit English Wikipedia –
on a QR code?
F/G: How big would the QR code need to be to fit all 24 trillion bytes of
English Wikipedia? We'd have to put it on the moon.

F/G: Vlogbrother John Green tackles the math and physics of encoding and
decoding Wikipedia ...onto a QR code.
F/G: The QR code for all of English Wikipedia is so large it would have to
be placed on the moon.
Thanks for reviewing!
