r/television and r/films are so obviouslly filled with bots / paid commenters in the comments of any post thats about a specific upcoming piece of media

people suddenly talking about a tv show with lines that sound like advertising

WANZ President Victoria Leachman, an integral member of the Aotearoa New Zealand editing community, recently sat down with @Pride.NZ to talk about editing for equity and getting started with Wikipedia.

They actually changed the wording of their social media policy as well. now the same copyright statement on their website applies to their social media, so we should be able to use the high res versions they have on FB now!

wonder if that's related to me emailing them would be a weird coincidence

Funny, they seem to have updated their licensing since I made this post, doesn't change the Creative Commons license but does change the Japanese Govt license they were under

its like how people started discussing the 2029 UK general election a full week after the 2024 election, thats 5 years! they have 60% of the seats!

everyone is just at 24/7 horserace coverage even when there arent any horses running

they're usally worse quality than this actually but they happened to use this one as a thumbnail on the news gallery so it had a higher res option - ig they're very concerned about storage costs lol

the Japanese Embassy has images on their website that are very low quality but theyre freely licensed (!) so I'm able to find photos of people on there. In my never-ending goal to have photos of all the mayors, there is now one of Ken Couper (Whangārei) that #Wikipedia (and anyone else!) can use
