As I wrote last week: "As other information sources fall, Wikipedia’s stubborn independence becomes more vital than ever. The attacks from [the right] aren't just about an online encyclopedia — they're part of a broader assault on any information source that refuses to be controlled."

The conservative think tank told prospective donors that the project was part of its work to combat antisemitism.

Donating to the Wikimedia Foundation is great. Becoming a volunteer editor is even better.

Here are resources for maintaining your personal security as an editor:

I publicly connect my Wikipedia account to my IRL identity, but this is NOT required.

Wikipedia:Personal security practices - Wikipedia

@molly0xfff I'm less concerned about personal security and more about people who single mindedly enforce policy like "this is the right way of tagging a photo you took and uploaded 15 years ago, change the tags or we'll delete the photo!"

Like, relax, it's a photo of a bus. Whatever free use copy tag is in fashion now, just tell me what it is to apply it I don't want to sift through a long WP:policy treatise to figure it out 

@krupo last I recall, Commons defaults to CC BY 4.0
@molly0xfff which is good. Just found it funny to get auto-notified that an ancient contribution was at risk of removal.
