Here what's making me happy this week!
The filmed conference on non sexist language in French that we held at the francophone
wikiconvention in Paris in august 2016 was elected media of the day on commons last
tuesday.
Four of the women we trained last year in a gender gap contribution workshop in Lausanne
asked us to do another in Sion (Canton of Valais in Switzerland) and we have 19
participants! Some of them registered in the WikiMooc, the french free massive online open
course to learn how to edit Wikipedia.
So I have a sense that we are really building a community here and this makes me feel that
all the time invested was worth and it was not only something evolving around national
issues but truly about something global going over national identities and bridging
cultural and ideological gaps as well.

Here's what making me happy this week:
The Hebrew Wikipedia community completed initial training of ORES, so ORES
can be enabled in this language soon.
48 Wikipedians manually examined 5000 random diffs and marked them as
damaging or not, and whether they appear to have been done in good faith or
not.
If you keep hearing about ORES and you have not idea what it actually is,
then you'll be able to see it very soon in Recent Changes in the English
Wikipedia. I tried it briefly, and I was amazed: it guessed pretty well
which recent changes are likely to be vandalism. This technology is likely
to revolutionize how Wikimedians patrol their wikis for bad edits, and make
unintentionally bad edits less damaging.
If you'd like to add ORES support for your wiki, look at

Kudos to users EpochFail, Ladsgroup, Mooeypoo and everybody else involved
for making this possible.

Borrowing an idea from Wikipedia Weekly, I think
it would be nice to have a
thread about the good things that are happening around the Wikimedia
universe. If people enjoy this then it can be started (by anyone) on a
weekly basis.
My comment for this week: I enjoyed reading a post from the Wikimedia blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/03/21/why-i-elements/: "Why I periodically
write about the elements on Wikipedia", by Mikhail Boldyrev.
