Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikidata-l] Birthday gift: Missing Wikipedia links (was Re: Wikidata turns two!)

Hi Denny, great tool! I really like this kind of human computation tools, as they are quick to grasp and easy to perform. The Wikidata Game from Magnus is a great example too, IMO. I wonder: could it be hard to find a way to count how many merging one accomplishes? This would work both for an

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF Finance Fellows to develop first-ever movement-wide financial report and metrics

Thanks for the replies. They've calmed my fears a fair bit, but I'm still a little concerned - even simple questions like* of your administrative costs, **how much were your travel costs* don't really make a lot of sense to us, because some of our travel costs aren't administrative - and we don't
