Oh, and also add Steve Harwell, lead singer of Smash Mouth who was posted to "Recent deaths" but was pulled off later on. #WikipediaITN #wikipedia #wikimedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#(Pulled)_RD:_Steve_Harwell

Other famous folks who never made it to the front page of #WikipediaITN "Recent deaths" section, despite being very famous: Alan Thicke, Merle Haggard, Norm MacDonald. They all have the unusual quality of being famous but not famous enough to have a fleet of fans to reference their filmography/discography fully. #Wikipedia #Wikimedia

Why isn't Jimmy Buffett listed on the front page of #Wikipedia in "Recent deaths" while much less famous folks are? The answer may surprise you. The Wikipedia front page policy prioritizes quality, not "public interest," which has odd repercussions. TL;DR – perfect is the enemy of good. #Wikimedia #WikipediaITN

Having free, encrypted #DNS provided by #Wikimedia would be groundbreaking. I can't wait to see this move forward!

(As the page explains, this doesn't solve all internet censorship issues, but is a pretty big step forward and lays the groundwork for more improvements like ECH)

You acquire many acquaintances through #Wikimedia. Impactful people who you respect but ultimately are just ships that pass in the night, and speak to each other in passing.
Nosebagbear was one of those that I genuinely considered a friend. We spoke weekly, sometimes daily. Sure we debated about the grandiose machinations of the Wikimedia politic. But we also spoke about the mundane. He'd recently got a new flat, a new job. Our community will miss his impact. I will miss him, and the mundane.
So to tie this into Work Posting™, #Wikimedia uses Gerrit primarily (though is switching to GitLab), with some things hosted on GitHub too..!
