I liked the Metrics and Activities Meeting in Berlin <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFzqTxTfq2Y> that was hosted by Wikimedia Deutschland. The change in focus to affiliates was interesting. Perhaps affiliates would like to hold meetings like this in parallel to the WMF meetings in the future. I also liked this post in the WMF Blog <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/01/29/glam-multimedia-metadata-commons/> about structured data on Commons. This overview <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/01/30/community-digest-wikipedia-day-17/> of Wikipedia birthday celebrations was fun to read. There were reports from Armenia, Poland, Israel, India, Tunisia, Macedonia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Ghana, Algeria, Bulgaria, and the United States. What's making you happy this week? Pine <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine> P.S. Do people like these "What's making you happy this week" emails? Few people respond to them, so I don't know whether people like them, feel that they are a nuisance, or are indifferent.

Hoi, Carla Hayden received an award [1] and as I do so often I added it to Wikidata. I could not find info on the award and was only able to add two award winners. A friend found more information and added several more winners. It is an award relating to libraries and librarians, I am confident more information will become known. Thanks, GerardM [1] https://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?&q=47542681 On 4 February 2018 at 07:38, geni <geniice(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I discovered we got an article on a ridiculously obscure media format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiPac ) due to a techmoan episode: https://youtu.be/Q_9IBIcsYj4?t=996 Now we just need a photo of the thing.

They are harmless and occasionally interesting. Greatly preferable to a lot of the other messages.

I like them and on the whole are informative. <grumpy> It makes a change to read positive messages which have content, as most other positive messages tend to be pile on congratulations-spam, which can be pretty irritating if they make your email ping ten times in the same day. </grumpy> What's making me happy this week is finding my upload project stopped by getting IP blocked by the Library of Congress, but then discovering their rather good improvements to making all records publicly available in JSON format, in turn making the upload project give better results on Commons.[1] Links 1. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae/LOC -- faewik(a)gmail.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
