As of writing, Danish Wikipedia is now 32 articles
from reaching 200,000.
It's midnight in Denmark now, so it will at some point tomorrow, CET.
Congratulations Danish Wikipedia and Wikipedians!
I note from Meta (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_News) that
Bulgarian Wikipedia also reached 200K this month. :)

Oh, Liam, you are right :)
We award the "best newbie of the month" on Ukrainian Wikipedia and award
him/her with a can of condensed milk via post [1]
(we also award with a can of condensed milk the "best contributor of the
month", and want to do it is a few smaller wikiprojects as well (Wikiquote,
f.ex.))
That is *delightful*.

TL;DR: the Italian Wikisource has been indexed by a
digital library
platform used by over 4500 libraries in Italy [1]. This means that over
3500 texts (proofread and/or validated) can be read by library patrons.
Many libraries will add them to the catalog too (!).
This is SO COOL. And wow, cataloging!!

Thanks to Wikidata and Module:Wikidata [1], it is now
possible [2] to include a basic infobox in an article using a single line, rather than the
usual lengthy piece of wikicode (which new users could find off-putting). For a live
example, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pole_Telescope
Mindblowing. (And possibly EVEN more mysterious for new editors -- not
sure if that's good, though getting rid of a giant chunk of wikitext
certainly is).
