I want to talk about how good the article for the squash/pumpkin genus Cucurbita is. It was a featured article 10 years ago and continues to be one of the best articles about a group of plants. And I didn't do this.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucurbita
In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

At #wikiconferencena a man pulled a gun on stage wearing a "non-offending pedophile" sign, aggrieved, seemingly, that wikipedia doesn't allow him to write about that subject. Disarmed by hero Wikipedians Pharos and Fuzheado and arrested.

This does not mean "Wikipedia is trying to delete X!!"

Music writer Chris Dalla Riva has a theory that late ’80s pop songs left a weaker cultural footprint than early ’80s hits.
His proof? The size & page views of their Wikipedia articles.
I wrote about his investigation, KPop Demon Hunters, and the Wiki editors who write pages for #1 hit songs.
Last week, the leaders of Meta, Alphabet, OpenAI, and Apple took turns praising Trump at a White House dinner.
Not in the room: the leaders of Wikipedia, the volunteer editors who curate and maintain the internet's knowledge.
What are the opportunities and challenges for research, writing, and knowledge production with GenAI in postsecondary education? @CUNY @LaGuardiaCommunityCollege English professor Dr. Ximena Gallardo C. joined @WikiEdu for timely discussion: tinyurl.com/2cxzh2v3 #HigherEd #GenerativeAI #Wikipedia

With the school year approaching, a number of scholars and myself have assembled together a Critical Wikimedia Research Bibliography. If you are teaching a course or doing research, we think you might find some good resources here. meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Critica...
