A new book paints an affectionate portrait of the many oddballs and misfits who have made Wikipedia what it is. It is an enjoyable rabbit hole of information, rather like its subject. Read our review

Another Day to learn something new .🤗 Excited to join the Wikimedians of Cameroon User Group. Looking forward to learning how to search, upload, and edit information to help make knowledge more accessible. #Wikimedia Today was a good session. ❤️ Friends who involve you 💕.

“Libraries love Wikimedia, too!” Discussing the 6-part video series produced by @IFLA’s Wikidata working group to bring #libraries and #Wikimedia communities together exchange ideas and build capacity On the @Wikimedia blog:

Allez le petit message annuel pour que vous sachiez à quel point vous vous faites scam : Faire tourner Wikipedia, aujourd’hui, ça coûte aux alentours de 4-5 millions de $ par an. Wikipedia a reçu 189.5 millions de $ de don UNIQUEMENT pour l’année 2024-2025. Wikipedia a actuellement en banque 72 millions de $ et détient au total plus de 310 millions de $. Wikipedia, aujourd’hui, sans votre aide et sans jamais recevoir de don pourrait tenir 124 ans. Cette banderole vous ment chaque année un peu plus. Vous ne financez pas Wikipedia mais la fondation au dessus. Vous ne sauvez pas Wikipedia et vous ne le financez presque pas. Je vais faire un deep-dive dans ce thread si ça vous intéresse ⬇️

Terrifiant le message de Wikipedia

Developing strong collaborations with partners will ensure strategic progress for #libraries. Read more about this in our interview with @WIKI_NLW who also discusses his role at @NLWales: #Wikimedia #Wikipedia #OpenGLAM

Every day, Wikipedia biographies of living people are flagged for deletion because the subjects are not “notable” enough. How do these poor souls take the news?

EXPOSED: An influence operation on Wikipedia is actively rewriting history to manipulate the Western narrative. Since Oct 7, Wikipedia’s "Zionism" article underwent a radical rewrite- 80% of the original text was erased or replaced. The core context of antisemitism and Jewish persecution was wiped out, and academic research was distorted. Previously, the article defined Zionism as a movement supporting a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. However, the new intro claims it was established "through colonization," adding that Zionists wanted a state with "as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible״. Who is responsible for this??!?! The real danger? Almost all AI models rely on Wikipedia as a primary source, and young people get their information through AI tools today. Rewriting history there is nothing short of global mind-control for future generations.

Wikipédia, site gratuit, 0 trackers, tout open source. 6 semaines de levée de fonds par an, et ça ne va pas. Et on revoit les "ils ont trop d'argent". Chaumière -> Village. J'ai été président de la Fondation, donc ça va je maîtrise le sujet allons-y.

Good news! Exactly seven years ago, we were recognized by @WikimediaAffCom as an affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. Congratulations to us all @WikimediaNG #wikimediang #wikimedia

One of the hardest parts of getting older is watching wikipedia update all your heroes to "was".

You all need to understand that there is a well-funded movement to kill Wikipedia as an institution. The dream of an internet that provided universal access to knowledge was a mirage. It threatened too many powerful people, so now we have AI summaries and illiteracy.

Can we also talk about how Wikipedia entries are no longer at the top of a search 😭

The Wikipedia page I wrote for one of our most historical kingdoms has been approved. I will work on it further by visiting the kingdom soon and gathering more details to build on it. #Wikipedia|#Wikimedia #SSOT

$33 million in. $775 million out. 2003: a small Massachusetts company starts building robots that carry whole shelves of stock to warehouse workers. It raises $33 million from private investors, $20 million of it from Bain Capital Ventures. March 2012: Amazon agrees to buy it, Kiva Systems, for about $775 million in cash. Today it's Amazon Robotics, and in July 2025 Amazon deployed its one millionth robot. The public never got to buy a single share of Kiva. I run the London Real AI Investment Club, a private members' club where every Monday the founder of a fast-growing private AI company pitches our members live. Book a call with my team: Past results are not a guide to future returns. For eligible investors. Private investments are high risk and illiquid. Capital at risk.

Wikipedia may be the Web's greatest accomplishment, but it is not infallible, and in several hot-button issues, it has been captured by activists. One of the most egregious is its rewriting of "Zionism" after 10/7:
