Looks like it's in the WayBack Machine:

But it would still be nice to know that the archives are still maintained by 
Wikimedia though.

Or even better, if there is a Web accessible version of these early edits.

[Wikimedia-l] (How) can I see the early revision history?

2021-10-07 Thread Denny Vrandečić 
I wanted to see the beginning of the article about Jupiter.

When I go to Jupiter's revision history and click on oldest, I get here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jupiter=prev=history

which takes me to the revision as of November 5, 2001:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jupiter=332461507

Given that the the article at this point doesn't look like this were the
original edition, I expect more history to be in the UseMod archives.

I remembered Tim Starling announced a few years ago that he found a few old
archives:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia%27s_oldest_articles

https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2010-December/063088.html

Unfortunately, that link has gone stale.

Does anyone know where these archives are?

Cheers,
Denny

Thanks, Patricia.

Very informative and interesting to read. Especially to see how we are
generating income and where some of those donations are coming from.

Best regards,

[Wikimedia-l] 2021 Affiliates data survey | What we learned about our affiliates

2021-10-07 Thread Dumisani Ndubane 
Good day friends

The 2021 affiliates data survey report [1] is out! This is the third report
on affiliates and trends around, governance, demographics, governance, and
general awareness around resources and other support available to
affiliates.

This year we went a step further and answered a question we kept hearing,
which is: "Do affiliated editors show higher editing activities across
wikis compared to unaffiliated editors?"  What the data told us is both
interesting and inspiring.

The report is available to read on meta, and you can also download a pdf
copy.

Link:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Data_and_Insights_Team/Our_Reports/2021_Affiliates_data_survey_report

We trust that you will enjoy reading this report, as much as we enjoyed
researching and compiling it!

Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us

Yours in service

MORE ABOUT WIKIAFRICA HOUR 

Wiki In Africa started WikiAfrica Hour, a monthly vodcast, to build the
community of Wikimedians across Africa by: 

* Interacting with guest(s) and ask questions from the context of and
relating to African Wikimedians;
* Providing a platform for Wikimedians to discuss topics, issues,
projects and collaborations to promote synergy and more advanced
knowledge within the Wiki communities across Africa, and
* Sharing current updates, and highlights of Africa Wikimedians
activities undertaken by Africa Wikimedians with the African audience,
and those globally who are interested,

You can catch all our previous episodes here. [5]  

WikiAfrica Hour is activated by Wiki In Africa [1] in support of
Wikimedia usergroups across the WikiAfrica [6] movement. It has been
initiated and facilitated by Wiki In Africa's Ceslause Ogbonnaya
(User:Ceslause [7]), Florence Devouard (User:Anthere [8]) and Isla
Haddow-Flood (User:Islahaddow [9]).
