wikipedia
here's to the next decade.
For context: Spanish wikipedia has a policy that they ban you if you don't identify yourself or ask a question, so you can't just join to read the conversations or observe (unlike english wikipedia)
When they banned me the first time, their IRC page said you were welcome to join, but now it does say that "failure to identify yourself is a cause for a ban unless you have a question"
This keeps happening to me because I had #wikipedia-es on my autojoin list, and I've kept it since. Anyway, I didn't identify myself :(. Same mod too!

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 1️⃣: Points ⏺️
Oh boy, another year of daily mapmaking!
For Day 1, I decided to create a map of the extant airports of the 🇵🇭 #Philippines that have either an IATA or ICAO code. I thought it would be a simple job, but parsing the data from #Wikipedia was pretty gnarly. Once I had clean data, the actual map creation using #D3js was pretty straightforward.

NGOs call for immediate release of Saudi Wikipedian Osama Khalid, whose 14-year sentence was upheld

I just discovered the Fediverse (English) Wikipedia page has a huge section on AT Protocol and I question why. It seems like excessive promotion of Bluesky and its protocol that is not compatible with ActivityPub, both technically and in spirit. Illustrating bridging isn't the same as compatibility. Might as well add sections for other random network protocols like XMPP (Jabber).

There's a point I wanted to make about shoddification, a process which has been adapted to the extrusion of so much online #content.
What is shoddification? The answer to that question lies in the nature of shoddy, a material that's used to make certain cheap articles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycled_wool
This #Wikipedia article has obviously been written from corporate sources; it's worded in the way I'd expect from a sales brochure for shoddy. Excuse me, "recycled wool".
(etc.)
In today's story on @medium, I share biographies and photos of #nonbinary people that I've contributed to #Wikipedia, in honor of International Non-Binary People's Day.

Now testing a #littleFedi post scheduled 24+ hours ago with more magnificent Acer macrophyllum. I will never cease to be amazed by these organisms and their (many) symbiotes.
Deer gods 🦌🙏 I love these temperate rainforests 💚

Cyanocitta stelleri like to cut off bunches of Sambucus racemosa to eat the berries in private. Not all of them are great at picking ripe bunches 😅

The war against invading Rubus armeniacus at home is something of a neverending nightmare, but I gotta say:
It's a damn tasty nightmare during berry season 😋
