Pr is supposed to educate the world what wikipedia is all about.

Hoi,
The best response to complaints and criticism is for the people that complain and criticise to be invited to be part of the solution. SOFIXIT
is
the mantra that brought us a lot of good. YES, I find it important that people are aware of the things that are dear to me. I blog about them
and I
do not only blog about them. I do what I can to make a difference. I edit in Wikidata on subjects that are relevant and do not get the attention
they
deserve. I do invite people to work on fixes for templates that need
fixing
in a Wikipedia and I do showcase why the Occitan Wikipedia is at the forefront of getting our information out.
PR is important and makes a difference, people need to see that work is done. People need to see that things progress. And really JJ you can
make a
difference too when you know so well what work needs to be done. When you think there is nothing that you can do, I am sure we can find something
for
you that makes a difference in the things you care for. First thing is
for
you to know what you care for and how much you want to involve yourself. Thanks, GerardM

How about correcting the faults people have gone to the trouble of identifying for you, instead of trying to disguise them?

Hoi,
I mentioned three things ... When you are interested in if the
Wikipedia
gets mentioned in the news.. look at the BBC again and look at what
it
has
to say. http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=wikipedia I am not complaining.
I even go a step further, I mention the things that I think are
positive
regularly on my blog. If anything there is so much that people can do
that
will have a positive impact. At that I tend to move away from
negative
encounters. Typically they are not worth it. Thanks, GerardM

This is about Wikipedia Zero in particular, but what has been done
by
WMF's
PR section about Wikipedia in general and its image with the
