I'm perceiving an increase in the number of mentions of Wikidata in ways that make me think that Wikidata may eventually become an equal of Wikipedia in terms of impact on the Internet in general, and perhaps even surpass Wikipedia. Also, I'm looking forward to the improvements for RC patrol.
What's making you happy this week?

I haven't been in any doubt about this, for some time.

I returned to editing after a 3 and a half year hiatus two days ago. It honestly feels good to be back on the editing grind. It's honestly refreshing to be back. I truly missed it.
@Pine: That's awesome! Every project has to start somewhere. In 2001, nobody cares about Wikipedia. Look what's happened to it 16 years later. If Wikipedia and the foundation itself was a full sized novel, I'd say we're currently 2 or 3 pages into the story right now.

The way México DF has chosen to celebrate 16 years of Wikipedia en Español: launching 10 million metro tickets with the Wikipedia logo :)

11 candidates are standing for 5 seats on the Funds Dissemination Committee: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_Di... Q&A is ongoing (add your own questions!) at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_Di...
(I'm particularly happy to see so many good candidates running this time as I'm not one of them this time around!)
Thanks, Mike
