[Wikimedia-l] First content made for Wikipedia in space!

As some of you may have seen on social media already, the first ever content made specifically for Wikipedia, in space, was uploaded to Commons today, and is now in use on Wikipedia articles. ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli made recordings of his speaking voice in English and his native Italian, as part of the 'Voice Intro Project'. I wrote a blog post about how this came to happen, for the WMF blog: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/11/29/astronaut-spoken-voice/ If you have a social media account, you might like to retweet me: https://twitter.com/pigsonthewing/status/935871619247104000 and/ or this thread: https://twitter.com/Wikipedia/status/935844854260813824 or share the Wikipedia Facebook page's post: https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia/ or of course post in your own words, with the hashtag #WikiVIP And remember, please, to ask other people who have Wikipedia biographies, or an item on Wikidata, to record their voice, as described at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Voice_intro_project -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
