[Wikimedia-l] Re: Blocking users for Palestinian flag

For other no

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Wiki World Heritage User Group

That's good news. We have one in close proximity [1], so looking forward to sharing synergies in case this could help. Images should be easy. Likewise, such thematic groups could be an entry point to involve more potential Wikipedians with an interest in such issues. Could also push us too to do be

Re: [Wikimedia-l] New collaboration with the World Health Organization

Is it possible to convince more international non-profits and government organisations (especially taxpayer-funded research organisations) that it would be in their interest as well to share the findings under some Creative Commons licenses? FN SEE: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/health/wikipe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is the death of Wikipedia imminent?

en when digitised, chances are that it's in a non-English language, which is very hard to find very search engines. (No wonder that some of the prominent people from our regions are continually getting dismissed as non-notable, which I see as another form of 'systemic bias'). Give
