  1. Just wrote a piece of software (with help of #mistralai): a #MediaWiki CategoryDiver.

    The tool is build e.g. to parse a custom given root category in #WikimediaCommons and get all subcategories (no depth limit) visualize them and return additionally a json file including all filenames in a certain category.

    Feedback welcome.

  2. Im SLUB-Open-Science-Lab-Blog gibt es interessante neue Beiträge für Open-Science- und Bibliotheksbegeisterte! 🎉

    Für diejenigen unter euch, die sich für #WikimediaCommons interessieren, hat Jens Bemme diese Woche einen sehr spannenden Beitrag über Forschungsdaten und Methoden für Prachtwerke mit Wikimedia Commons veröffentlicht.

  3. The beauty of sharing your work under a free license: only a month after I took this image of Guy de Maupassant's birthplace in Normandy, a French website already re-used it. I love it when people around the world use freely licensed photos that I take for Wikipedia!

  4. We are a #grassroots, supporters group for #DickSmith's #FairGo, who believe we can get a FairGo when #corporations end #environmental and worker abuses.

    We have reason to believe #WikimediaCommons is an arm of the #militaryIndustrialComplex, laundering #militarism and #colonialViolence abroad. They offer some photos and media as #freeLicense while shmoozing with the locals and gathering #intelligence.

    We realise that that is a big statement, but we now believe it to be true.
