@bod_republic Hi

[Wikimedia Foundation @Wikimedia]

We are more likely to remember images than words.

Pictures have power. So what does that mean for the numerous biographies on @Wikipedia that do not have images?

It means more articles are left unread, more stories are left untold, and more faces are left unseen. (1/5)

[Dagaare Wikimedia Community @DagaareWiki]

We are thrilled to announce that the Dagaare Wikimedia Community has been approved on 7th November 2023. We express our heartfelt gratitude to all supporters and volunteers for your hard work and encouragement. Thank you.

Gone are the days! This was one of the ways children learned the art of music and dance from their infancy in the northern part of #Ghana. It was creatively made by the children and it produces a melodious sound to entertain themselves. Who remembers the name?

The Kologo, a local string instrument, is affectionately called "Kologo" by the Frafra people and "Gonje" by the Dagbanli or Kono people in Kassene. It comes in different forms with 1 or 2 strings.

Lots of people say "It's so great that @Wikipedia exists" or something similar, and for a good reason, but I'd like to say something slightly more precise:

It's so great that Wikipedians exist.

The future of @Wikipedia is threatened by the UK #OnlineSafetyBill.

Along with @WikimediaUK, we are calling on the UK Government to exempt Wikipedia from the Bill and preserve the best of the internet for future generations to come. #ForFreeKnowledge
