«A #Russian court on Thursday imposed a 3-million-ruble (US$32,000) fine on #Google for failing to delete allegedly false information about the #conflict in #Ukraine.
The move follows similar actions against #Apple & the #WikimediaFoundation that hosts #Wikipedia

The court found that #YouTube video service, owned by Google, was guilty of not deleting videos with incorrect information about the conflict -- which Russia characterizes as a "special military operation."»

We would love to have you join us for #Wikimania2023, an annual conference celebrating all the free knowledge projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. The event is open to participants of all experience levels, from newcomers to seasoned technical contributors. Take a look at the programming and register: : http://wikimania.org/

Somehow it took me until today to realize that if while researching I come across a #wikimediafoundation / #wikipedia page that either doesn't exist, is a stub, or outdated, I can submit improvements myself. I never realized my knowledge base had reached that level. This is what makes these projects so great.

#WikimediaFoundation (WMF) has apparently just launched a lawsuit against Russian prosecutors and #Roskomnadzor [1]. No info on the obvious place on the WMF site itself [2], though.

Any solid WP:RS info (Meduza [1] counts, but it's in Russian)?

La interfaz por defecto de #Wikipedia (y todos sus proyectos hermanos) debería ser #Timeless . Es la mejor desarrollada hasta el momento, en especial porque su diseño se adapta a la resolución del dispositivo desde el que se visita, desde un televisor, hasta un teléfono móvil.
En cambio, la #WikimediaFoundation sigue dilapidando recursos tratando que Vector se parezca a Timeless, mientras que Minerva sigue teniendo, en los móviles, las mismas falencias de hace 10 años.

I've just spent the last week drafting and getting advice on my funding application to the Wikimedia Foundation to attend SPNHC 2023. The rapid grant application has now been submitted! #SPNHC2023 #WikimediaFoundation #Funding

@WMCA Welcome to the #fediverse!

Nice to have more #Wikimedia chapters here after 4 years of slower growth. Now we need the #WikimediaFoundation to return as well, like in the old times of #identica circa 2009.

@Fralambert

Support @Wikipedia and a world where knowledge is free for everyone. I just donated to the #knowledgeshouldbefree #wikimediafoundation #sharingiscaring
Every single donation helps improve people’s access to accurate and reliable information, especially in a rapidly changing world. Supporting them enables billions of people to experience the gift of #knowledge through #wikipedia.

I just donated to #WikimediaFoundation. This is to keep @Wikipedia and its sister projects a free and open learning resource for everyone. If you can please also give today

@guidedbywire @simid instead of sending you a private link to an etherpad I instead created a 2 image demo of what it's like, this example was made on the #Etherpad hosted by the #WikimediaFoundation at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/mastodontest1/timeslider#275

It's nice to see a few #Wikimedia chapters & affiliates on the fediverse:

@wikimediatw
@WikimediaIE
@wikimediaitalia
@wikisusdev
@wikimediaDE (own instance, nice!)
@amicalwikimedia
@WikiEducation

Any others (or existing lists)? Any movement towards a #WikimediaFoundation presence?

The #Yandex translation engine was one of the preferred ones in Content Translation for #Wikipedia. It would be interesting to know what would happen now. (It wasn't especially good in my opinion, but it was open and they were responsive for change requests.) #WikimediaFoundation https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-yandex-government-control/32152249.html

@paulwicks This is awesome, even though I’ve never been nearly that active a Wikipedian. (I am a regular #WikimediaFoundation donor though.) The only downside is that it encourages paywalled citations that are unavailable to non-subscribers.

@1br0wn Reminds me of the #WikimediaFoundation claim that their decisions are democratic because people vote with their donation dollars.

I finally donated to #Wikipedia / #WikimediaFoundation after so many years of use- and bought a hoodie... and a pin... and a mug...
