  1. #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?

  9. @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.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  19. The #WikimediaIncubator is where several language versions of free knowledge #Wikimedia projects, including #Wikipedia, #Wikibooks, #Wikinews, #Wikiquote, #Wiktionary, and #Wikivoyage, can be incubated–developed, tested, and assessed if @wikimediafoundation can host it.

  20. Just made two #WikiQuote pages for Osamu Shimomura & Arthur Kornberg, with two quotes that have stuck with me for a long time. Hopefully also insightful for other #biochemistry aficionados out there

  21. Yesterday, four new projects graduated from the #WikimediaIncubator:
    * #Assamese #Wikiquote
    * #Gungbe #Wikiquote
    * #Shan #Wikibooks
    * #Gorontalo #Wiktionary

    The Shan Wikibooks is the first new Wikibooks language since 2017 (and only the third since 2006!).

    The Gungbe Wikiquote is the third new Wikimedia project in Gungbe in less than a year, following last year's #Wikipedia and Wiktionary!

    Congrats to all the hard-working contributors to these new Wikimedia projects!
