Happy International Women's Day! Thank you to the @wikipedia.org volunteers writing #women into history. As one of the world's most visited sites Wikipedia shapes people's world views- we need to fill content gaps and make sure women’s accomplishments, experiences, and contexts are represented❣️
Have you ever wondered who is behind Wikipedia?
Lots of passionate and dedicated volunteers who often go unseen.
Until now. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

I'd set aside Anusha Aikhan's (@nush.bsky.social) latest on how to create a trusted information ecosystem (Wikimedia) in @ssireview.bsky.social when I first came across it.
But I'm glad I read it this week after Meta made clear their relationship to the public interest. 😉

On the list of "things everyone may not know about Wikipedia" is that search engines, voice assistants, and generative AI tools like ChatGPT all rely on Wikipedia to deliver information.

Play with AI like your career depends on it (it does)
"If you are a journalist or a journalism student, you should play with it, a lot, while it’s still open and cheap."
