  1. Yesterday I learnt the cheerleader died #savethecheerleader #savetheworld

    TIL that Wikinews shut down in May. They posted their own news article about it, but I got slightly more from this German news article: heise.de/en/news/Wikimedia-Fou

    I'm trying to read between the lines — e.g. bot traffic as a proportion isn't relevant; only the growth or loss of human traffic alone is relevant — but I think the main thing was that people were getting "news" as such from Wikipedia articles instead.

  10. أوقفت مؤسسة ويكيميديا مشروع ويكينوز بعد 21 عاماً، وذلك بوضعه في وضع القراءة فقط. يأتي هذا القرار بسبب مخاوف تتعلق بالاستدامة، وانخفاض نشاط المجتمع، وتوفر تغطية إخبارية أشمل عبر منصات مثل ويكيبيديا. يناقش أعضاء المجتمع حالياً سبل مواصلة محتوى ويكينوز وتعاوناته بشكل مستقل.

  32. Q: does anyone actually use WikiNews as a news source?

    Does anyone here write for it?

    It seems like a great project, but is it an ongoing enthusiastic project?
