This story about an art exhibit opening in New York on Thursday is pretty
neat. A Wikipedian has been working for years to create a print version of
Wikipedia, described as half utilitarian data visualization project, half
absurdist poetic gesture.

Nice! I love that someone has finally settled the size-in-volumes

Incidentally, the largest print serial I'm aware of is the 'Serial

Ideally, all of the data would be in the wikidata item, and if there's no data
then there's nothing to display. ;-) But in practice, you can pass parameter
information to the template
Oh I totally agree that it is cool. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks to Wikidata and Module:Wikidata [1], it is now possible [2] to include a
basic infobox in an article using a single line, rather than the usual lengthy
piece of wikicode (which new users could find off-putting). For a live example,

educational work, what are some of the articles you have created or greatly

Todd, is it perhaps this diff among yours (https://archive.is/MRUkZ) where you
called for the keeping of an apparently explicit autofellatio image in a
since-deleted autofellatio article that makes you think you're partially to

That's such a wonderful, sweet project! :) It seems likely infeasible for

TL;DR: the Italian Wikisource has been indexed by a digital library
platform used by over 4500 libraries in Italy [1]. This means that over
3500 texts (proofread and/or validated) can be read by library patrons.
Many libraries will add them to the catalog too (!).

I felt that this year's elections went remarkably smoothly. I believe that
we have the Elections Committee and its tireless leader Varnet, project
manager James Alexander, and the SecurePoll devs to thank. There were a few
technical issues but overall I feel that everyone did a very fine job.

Hoi,
Jura1 created a list using the latest software by Magnus of people who died
in Brazil this year. Magnus added functionality to the template so that it
is really easy to add images that are missing. This list makes use of
Wikidata and it gets updated by a bot. It may live on any Wikipedia.
That we had the highest-ever votes in a Wikimedia Foundation board election
- and participation from many more wikis.
