For Wikipedia's 25th birthday some people are doing the "read 25 different articles on 25 consecutive days" challenge.
I'm going one further, and - where possible (and interesting!) - I'll be blogging (and maybe podcasting!) what I learn each day!
Here's day 1: https://danq.me/wp25-wesley-merritt - I got the random article "Governor-General of the #Philippines" and from there found (and learned a lot about) Wesley Merritt.

#TIL! #LuciVanOrg sang 1996 "Meine #Bildung hab' ich aus dem #Fernsehen", bei mir ist's #Wikipedia:
"Die Gestaltung von Rasengleisen ist … keineswegs ein neues Gestaltungselement der #Straßenbahnplanung. So wurde 1905 das erste #Rasengleis der Welt in der #Hardenbergstraße in #Berlin eingerichtet."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_track#cite_note-9
Auch die #Tram, die schönste Form der #EMobilität, stammt bekanntlich aus Berlin. Damals wurde sie einfach "Die #Elektrische" genannt.
Übermorgen, am 16. Mai jährt sich zum 145. mal die erst Fahrt in #Lichterfelde, damals noch Vorort Berlins, heute Teil des Bezirks #SteglitzZehlendorf.
