On this day, 9 years ago, I joined a @WikimediaGH@Wikipedia 101 workshop to learn how to edit, which was organized by @SandisterTei.
This singular act changed a lot both in my professional and personal life.
Happy WikiBirthday to me!!!
#WikiBirthday#NowEditWikipedia
Technology runs on knowledge, and knowledge is human. Wikipedia was built on this belief. That’s why it’s run by thousands of volunteers who come together to write, edit, and fact-check content. #KnowledgeIsHuman
Many people visit @Wikipedia on a daily basis, but it’s not always obvious what it takes to make that possible. Here are some clarifications on the Wikimedia Foundation: who we are, what we do, and why your donations matter. ⬇️
Wikipedia is the only website in the top-ten most-visited global websites to be run by a nonprofit – and at a fraction of the budget and staffing.
We are not funded by advertising, we don’t charge a subscription fee, and we don’t sell your data.

It takes a village... Or, in the case of @Wikimania, it actually takes a whole town.
As you get ready for #Wikimania2023, learn more about the amazing volunteers that make the annual celebration of free knowledge a reality.

How has Wikipedia managed to maintain its relevance and preserve its credibility over the years?
We asked former Wikimedia Foundation CEO @krmaher@SandisterTei & Shane Greenstein.
I don’t know if I’m the only one but December/Christmas always turns out to be a sullen, gloomy month for me. My mood is always off and I’m super reflective all month. It also breaks my routine, probably that’s why 😩.
