This #Lua module I created nearly four months ago is now used in just over 2000 historical marker photos in #WikimediaCommons! 🎉 This makes the photos hopefully a bit more useful.

Gestern habe ich den @Raymond vertreten und im Kölner Rathaus bei der Verleihung des Heinrich-Böll-Preises an Heike Geißler fotografiert.

Der Saal ist eine schöne Location, auf der man sich mit der Kamera, mit etwas Rücksicht auf den Ablauf, recht frei bewegen kann. Jedoch finde ich das Licht eher knifflig.

Die Preisträgerin war authentisch erfreut über die Auszeichnung und hat eine tolle Dankesrede gehalten!

This thing is fly under the radar.

From last month, Indonesia Ministry of Technology and Communication blocked access to auth.wikimedia.org.

The domain were used to authenticate users across Wikimedia, meaning that Indonesian user cannot contribute to Wikipedia/Wikimedia.

And last week, THEY also blocked Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks to the backlash and push from Indonesian user, Wikimedia no longer blocked.

Nobody still unsure why this is happened, but the most possible reason is THEY want Wikipedia to register to PSE (basically they must obey the law, which we all know meaning of censorship attempt).

A previously unpublished illustration intended for the Saturday Evening Post's 1943 New Year's edition. It was never used due to publisher demands that the illustrator, J.C. Leyendecker, create a more optimistic and patriotic cover that was sensitive to the families of American soldiers. It was publicly shown for the first time in 2020 as part of an auction... #artwork #saturdayeveningpost #wikipedia #pictureoftheday #wikimediacommons #wikipediaphotos

While #Wikipedia contains millions of articles and #WikimediaCommons have tons of photographs and other media, #Wikidata contains a structured data that describe the world around us.

Our member Eugene finished improving the data for the barangays of the municipality of Minalabac in Camarines Sur, #Philippines 🇵🇭, in Wikidata and also mapped them in #OpenStreetMap, linking the two datasets with each other, thereby expanding the network of linked #OpenData.
