@Wikipedia losing opportunities in Twitter
by Galder Gonzalez Larrañaga 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Good day, Yesterday, the James Webb telescope published its first image, called "Webb's Frist Deep Field" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webb%27s_First_Deep_Field). An article about the image existis in 14 languages. The tweet announcing it has collected in less than a day more than 77.000 RTs and 275.000 likes (https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1546621080298835970). The main object of the image didn't have any article at any Wikipedia (not an item at Wikidata) yesterday. Now we have an article in 8 languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMACS_J0723.3-7327 and a category in Commons. Well, the Wikipedia twitter handle didn't tweet anything about this achievement, and didn't give any contest to the image. (https://twitter.com/wikipedia). We could be answering questions. "By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge". We could be centering free knowledge at Wikimedia. Best, Galder

Goodbye and see you around
by Biyanto Rebin 04 Jul '22

04 Jul '22

Dear all, Tomorrow is my last day working at Wikimedia Indonesia. Goodbye is a thing that we should celebrate. I am very grateful to have a wonderful chance to collaborate with my local community, local organisation, and international community also various chapters and affiliates. I will continue my volunteering activity while enjoying my next journey as a master student in Digital Humanities in Uppsala University, Sweden. In the last 3 months, I have been doing collaboration work with Rachmat Wahidi, our new Chair of the Board of Executive with his new teams. I am sure WMID will achieve more in the future under his leadership with a more diverse team, lots of local communities, strong grass root movement and continuous support from the local community members, and our presence in the ESEAP community makes us one of the biggest communities in the region. You can always contact me via my personal email (biyanto.iyan(a)gmail.com). From one of the sunniest cities in the Southern Hemisphere, Jakarta. Best, Biyanto

Wikifact Update: Content Selection, Context Menus, and Wiki-based Services
by Adam Sobieski 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Wikimedia, Hello. I am pleased to share an exciting update regarding a proposal for a sister project, Wikifact - a resource for real-time collaborative fact-checking (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikifact). The update is available here: https://github.com/w3c/mathml/issues/390 . The gist of the new development is that end-users could select Web content in their browsers and then simply use context menus to invoke first-, second-, and third-party services. These services could include crowdsourced, wiki-based, services, e.g., Wikifact or some other new projects. When I first proposed Wikifact, in 2021, I was thinking that some markup-related or template-related solutions would be useful for providing end-users with user interfaces upon relevant portions of content (e.g., statements, claims, or facts) in documents. Today, I am thinking about end-users being able to select Web content and then use context menus to invoke first-, second-, and third-party services. These services might provide for end-users with proofs, arguments, justifications, or fact-checking-related information about the selected contents in new tabs. Today, I am also thinking about uses of Web Annotation technologies where end-users could toggle visualizing which content in Web documents already have proofs, arguments, justifications, or fact-checking-related information available for them. In summary, end-users will be able to select arbitrary contents from across the Web and use context menus to invoke services, e.g., Wikifact or some other new projects, to explore proofs, arguments, justifications, and fact-checking-related information pertaining to the selected contents. Thank you. I hope that these new developments are of some interest to you and that they might inspire you to continue to explore new uses of wiki technologies! Best regards, Adam Sobieski http://www.phoster.com
