Hi! At the Wikimedia Technical Conference in Atlanta, I worked with Daren Welsh , a spacewalk instructor for NASA, to assist Christina Koch in making the edit. I am certain this is not fake news, and you definitely should not hesitate to celebrate thi

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia was edited from the ISS

It's neat if it happened, but currently, that material was only "sourced" to a Wikipedia diff and a tweet (and not even a tweet by her). We'd need better than that for verification, so I'd hold off saying it definitely happened until fact-checked sources confirm it did. (Not to say I don't believe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia was edited from the ISS

Hi Yury, I saw some excitement from people regarding this edit. However, I for one have been hesitant to make wider announcements about this. My personal concern is that, although I have every reason to believe that the contributor is who others claim that she is, the contributor did not self publ
