Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.

I don't know how others in the US are copying with an increasingly oppressive government where it seems martial law might be just around the corner. Between depression, anxiety, and illness, I've barely left home this year for anything other than medical appointments, so attending protests is out of the question. I edit @wikipedia in an attempt to keep an accurate record of the demise of #democracy.

De plus en plus de gens semblent confondre les pages de discussion de Wikipédia avec des interfaces de LLM. Ce n'est pas nouveau : on a toujours eu des gens qui croyaient pouvoir s'adresser à leur banquier, leur assurance ou une célébrité en écrivant sur la page de discussion de l'article leur étant dédié (ou parfois sur la page de discussion d'un article qui n'avait rien à voir). Mais c'est quand même un peu à désespérer de l'espèce humaine.

"More than two years after the release of ChatGPT precipitated what English Wikipedia calls the AI boom, its possible effects on Wikipedia continue to preoccupy researchers.

3 Millionen Artikel in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia! 🎉

Ein großartiger Meilenstein für die deutschsprachige Wikipedia-Community: Die 3-Millionen-Marke wurde geknackt. Geschafft hat das der Artikel Grand Prix of Europe von Superanton! 💡📚

Dieser Meilenstein ist ein Gemeinschaftserfolg. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an alle, die täglich ihr Wissen teilen und Wikipedia zu dem machen, was sie ist: eine frei zugängliche, stetig wachsende Wissensquelle. 💙

I can't get these images of fascists trying to erase our history and present, and we shouldn't let the normies forget. Maybe a "Is this what you voted for?" collage is in order.

Don't let them erase Emily Perez's memory.
