Re: [Wikimedia-l] คุณมีความสุขกับอะไรในสัปดาห์นี้? / What's making you happy this week? (Week of 19 April 2020)

2020-04-23 Thread Tito Dutta 
Hello, Pine, thanks for sharing the quote of Dinah Maria Craik. Very timely
and helpful. I stopped for a while after reading this quotation in your
email.

2 things I can think of, right now, which make me happy this week
a) The Wikidata COVID-19 dashboards: I saw 2 dashboards:
https://sites.google.com/view/covid19-dashboard (and another is:
https://speed.ieee.tn/)
b) Wikidata WikiProject India COVID-19 task force and their effort:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/COVID-19_task_force

My good wishes,

Thanks
Tito Dutta
Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind
me over email or phone call.

I actually also had a train identified this week, by User:Altona
  with whom I never
interacted as far as I know.

My train is from Canada, uploaded a week ago.

A few years ago, I took some photos of some abandoned and heavily-decayed 
trains in Paranapiacaba, an old railway town in southern Brazil, and uploaded 
them to Commons. This week, User:Sorocabano_32 came along and identified 
several of them!

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Siemens-Schuckert_B-B_(RFFSA)
These seem to be the only photos we have of this locomotive class, as it’s the 
last of its kind.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:TUE_S%C3%A9rie_100_(EFCB)
It turns out these were built in the UK!

(There are still many more still to be identified in

Hello colleagues,

Continued sympathies to those who are in challenging situations. Some
changes are under consideration for these emails for the purpose of
making them be more relatable to people who are in a wide variety of
circumstances. More information regarding possible changes may be
published in the next few weeks.


-- Quotes from Dinah Maria Craik --

* The English Wikiquote of the Day for 19 April 2020 was from English
author Dinah Maria Craik: "There never was night that had no morn."

* Related image of a sunrise at Akumal, Mexico:

* A portrait of Craik:

* Another quote from Craik: "I think, at any day throughout his long
reign, the King would sooner have lost his crown than have lost sight
of the Beautiful Mountains."

* Related image: the painting _Krishna. Spring in Kulu_, by Russian

-- Visiting the Thai Wikipedia and Thailand --

In the interest of featuring languages which have not previously
appeared in "What's making you happy this week?", I decided to visit
the Thai language Wikipedia. There I learned that Thailand has two
calendar systems. [1] [2] Also, I found images from
อุทยานแห่งชาติภูซาง, known in English as Phu Sang National Park [3]
[4] , which appears to be a place that I would enjoy visiting. One of
the photos of a waterfall was a finalist for Commons Picture of the
Year in 2017.

* Picture of a hot waterfall that is in the park, Namtok Phu Sang:

* Picture of a boy in a waterfall at the park. This photo was a
finalist for Commons Picture of the Year in 2017:

* The animals that are depicted below are members of species that are
found in Phu Sang National Park *
