#katherinemaher — Public Fediverse posts

Great to see the always-eloquent #KatherineMaher on #TheLateShow with #StephenColbert! As I commented on this video, as a long-time #Wikipedia editor, I know Katherine from her time as CEO of the @wikimediafoundation; I've attended several of her talks and she's attended a couple of mine.

#DOGE subcommittee hearing led by a moron #MajorieTaylorGreene, #Kentucky Rep Comer fucked up miserably to land a 'gotcha' line on #NPR CEO #KatherineMaher, offering a prefect contrast to Rep. GregCasar's humorous, concise and sensible testimony later in the hearing.

A campaign against #NPR's new CEO, ex-#Wikimedia Foundation Katherine Maher, is trying to portray her as "anti-truth" and "anti-First Amendment" by taking quotes out of context from her past talks about Wikimedia. As a longtime Wikipedian, I think I can give a little more context about these statements — but I recognize that the people behind this campaign are, ironically, not looking for the facts.

Wikipedia is about verifiable facts from reliable sources. For Wikipedia, arguing with "The Truth" is not effective. Wikipedians don't write "because it's true" but "because that's what's in this source".

It is painful to see Katherine Maher viciously and widely attacked on Twitter, also for a quote restating how Wikipedia works.

I have worked with @krmaher
We were lucky to have her at Wikipedia, and NPR is lucky to have her.
