Happy 90th anniversary to @NHCPOfficial! 🥳

Hope to celebrate your centennial in 10 years' time!

I’m not attending #Wikimania in person this year, but I’ll see you at my presentation if you come! I’ll be talking about all those articles on Philippine embassies and consulates (@DFAPHL) I’ve been writing over the years. 😉

The Wikimedia community and Board of Trustees have approved enforcement guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC): a global policy for addressing negative behavior on Wikimedia sites. Here's a thread on what this is and how it came to life. 🧵

Just before Easter, we'll be at @statelibrarynsw to watch @adzebill present The GLAM Wiki Road Map. This free event is a must for anyone in #GLAM interested in Wikimedia projects. https://t.co/wSF2jp296P

Meet the Flickr Foundation:https://t.co/9Dxm1O1e01
Flickr is home to more than 50 billion photos, many of them historic, culturally significant, and one-of-a-kind. We believe these photos should be preserved for the future, so we've established a nonprofit to work on just that.

[Wikimedia Foundation Policy @wikimediapolicy]

We need to ensure the future of the internet is grounded in the public interest and human rights.

That is why we have teamed up with six other organizations to launch the Movement for a Better Internet.

Join us today at https://t.co/ZQvSKCcTvK!

Thank you @nytimes for featuring Filipina chemist and food technologist Maria Ylagan Orosa, who fortunately has her own historical marker created by @NHCPOfficial.

(Curiously, the NYT states her birth year as 1893 while the marker says 1892.)

The hidden war: the Marcoses have entired an entire detachment of orcs to keep rewriting wikipedia entries on the douchebag dictator, his family and martial law. This is a full-time job for the orcs, all they ever do 24x7. Opposing them are volunteers who have real jobs

[Panandâ @PanandaApp]

We are pleased to announce that with the addition of the “Dela Fuente–Villaroman Ancestral House” historical marker which was unveiled yesterday, the Historical Markers Map of @WikiSocPH now has 1,300 featured extant historical markers from @NHCPOfficial! 🎉
