Should I be the old alumni asshole who says in response to the #Wikimania CFP “where is the track on doxxing of editors, the end of the first amendment in the US, impending threats in other jurisdictions, and what the movement might do technically and socially to respond to authoritarian states”?

It’s not a bad set of CFP topics but I suspect that at least to Americans (the source of money and hosting for Wikipedia!) it reads like something from a very different, more optimistic timeline.

I'm thrilled to share that a tool I co-developed, View it!, won the #Wikimedia Coolest Tool Award at #Wikimania 2024!

Coolest Tool Award: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Coolest_Tool_Award

View it!: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/View_it!_Tool

View it! is a suite of tools to help users on Wikipedia and its sister sites discover freely licensed media. It includes a user script that injects a gallery of relevant photos at the top of articles across all Wikimedia sites (#Wikipedia, #Wikidata, #Wikivoyage, etc.). It also provides a web portal (https://view-it.toolforge.org/?q=Q192272) to search for media by Wikidata ID, as well as an API that simplifies querying structured data on Commons. On Wikidata, View it! has helped users add images to over 5,000 items to date.

Following an opening keynote by @GereonKalkuhl about 'Wikipedia and Music', the closing ceremony of #Wikimania 2024 in Katowice, Poland featured the international debut performance of the #WikiOrchestra!

So, #Wikimania folx with disabilities (of any and all sorts), I'm curious what the level of accessibility was like at the conf for you — personally, things were a little loud from time to time, but there were places to hide so that's not so bad.

A ton of amazing people make Wikidata happen every single day. Some of us met at #Wikimania last week. #wikilove

thank you all very much for a memorable #wikimania !!! the guestbook has grown by 53 signatures from editors all over the world. very nice to have met all you wonderful people. finally got to put some more faces and voices to names. hope to see you all again someday :)

Good morning from Katowice station, platform 1. My train to Prague is running on time.

This went by so fast!
How are we already at the #Wikimania closing ceremony?!

Happy 20th birthday to @openstreetmap!

While I’m not celebrating in any particular way today, I remember enjoying the 10th birthday in London during #Wikimania 10 years ago today.

Earlier that day I gave an Intro to OSM lecture. Then that night, I and others like Katie and @SK53 went to The Artillery Arms pub to celebrate with other mappers. There I finally met some OSM veterans like @harry_wood, @woodpeck, and @Firefishy.
