I really enjoyed this episode of the #BetweenTheBrackets podcast featuring @Wittylama about the past, present and future of #Wikipedia at its 25th birthday: https://betweenthebrackets.libsyn.com/episode-200-liam-wyatt

The themes of reduced (direct) readership, shifting habits of information consumption, AI crawl-bots and long-term sustainability via explicitly symbiotic partnerships, were touched upon with clear thought and insightful remarks. The Wikimedia movement is lucky to have Liam in the #WikimediaEnterprise initiative!

Between the Brackets: a MediaWiki Podcast: Episode 200: Liam Wyatt

🕑 1 hour 14 minutes It's the (belated) 25th anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia - and the 200th episode! For this special episode, we have the return of Liam Wyatt (username Wittylama), a longtime Wikipedia volunteer and commentator, the first-ever Wikipedian-in-residence, and now a Senior Technical Partnerships Manager at the Wikimedia Foundation, to talk about Wikipedia's past, present and future. Links for some of the topics discussed: at Internet Archive (video) (November 2025 Diff blog post) (January 2026 blog post) (November 2025 GLAM-Wiki talk by Liam) (May 2025 presentation by Giuseppe Lavagetto) (January 2026 essay by Christophe Henner)

> Today, we are announcing #Amazon, #Meta, #Microsoft, #mistralai , and #Perplexity for the first time as they join our roster of partners, which includes #Google, #Ecosia, #Nomic, #Pleias, #ProRata, and #ReefMedia. All these organizations utilize #WikimediaEnterprise to integrate human-governed knowledge into their platforms at scale. By doing so, they help ensure that the work of our global volunteer community reaches billions of people with the accuracy and transparency that Wikipedia represents.

And that a good new for me.

It is unfortunate, but Wikimedia Enterprise is starting to become a problem. (1/7)

Schweizer Wikipedia bettelt trotz großem Vermögen

Jedes Jahr aufs Neue läuft die Spendenkampagne der Wikipedia. Doch für den Betrieb ist mehr als genug Geld vorhanden.

Folks, I need your help: Can anyone give me information about WIkimedia Enterprise? Somehow the Wikimedia Foundation's BigTech friendly product seems fishy to me?
