#wikimediacommons — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #wikimediacommons, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I’ve posted my newest monthly update about technical changes that impact the Commons community but that have not been communicated via the more ‘generic’ news updates.

    The topics are discovered and compiled into a list by a (Claude Sonnet created) software tool and then filtered again by me and I rework the list into a shareable post.

  2. @Rairii Is this in any way related to the "wikirazzi" phenomenon? Wikipedia's "replaceable fair use" policy rejects photos of living people that aren't released under a Creative Commons license or other license for free cultural works. This encourages Wikipedia editors to become paparazzi, stalking celebrities just to snap a photo that can be used in an article.
