  1. #QuoteOfTheDay on #WikiQuote is by Ogden Nash:

    The weather is so very mild,
    That some would call it warm.
    Good gracious, aren't we lucky, child?
    Here comes a thunderstorm.

  2. #GitLab at work got updated to v18+ and I see that rounded corners are back in vogue. They used to be very popular in #MediaWiki monobook circa 2008. Italian #Wikiquote never removed them, so we're now fashionable again by staying still. :)

  3. I'm sorry, Wikiquote, but what the fuck is this? Why do you let just some random guy create a version of the swastika literally called "Peace nazi" and use it in Quotes of the day and different pages?

  6. @sam The day before was a Biden quote.

    Maintaining daily quotations on #Wikiquote is a thankless task. On the English Wikiquote, one person has been doing it for almost 20 years. On the Italian Wikiquote we reuse the same quotation every year because it's hard enough to pick them that way.

  8. Celebrate Women's Voices: Join the #SheSaid Campaign!

    The SheSaid is a drive run by #WikiInAfrica as part of the #WikiLovesWomen initiative. The campaign aims to celebrate and recognize women by focusing on enhancing their representation and visibility on #Wikiquote by encouraging the creation and improvement of entries.

  9. I think the reason why #GoogleSuggestedQuestions falsely attributes this line to #Gandhi is because the information is from the #BritishMedicalJournal and #Google thinks the BMJ is trustworthy but the search engine can't compute that the journal is an authority on medicine, not #quotes. Google also fails to differentiate between opinion and #PeerReview.

    Google should "know" that #WikiQuote and #QuoteInvestigator are much better at this.

    Like the @neilhimself quote:

  10. La section francophone du #wiktionnaire a fait un poisson d'avril. Cela rappelle la fermeture (temporaire et préventive) de #Wikiquote afin de supprimer la base de données du fait d'un énorme plagiat.
