Edits have to be completely accurate, it's not an area where we can tolerate mistakes. Editors that are completely new to Wikipedia are not likely to have a positive experience. They should learn the practices and guidelines in quieter areas of the project where they can make mistakes and learn from them.</span> </p><p><br/> <b>Can you give us a little bit about why you normally do/what topics you edit on Wikipedia?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: Normally I work with the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Guild_of_Copyeditors" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Guild of Copyeditors">Guild of Copyeditors</a> in copyediting articles for better structure, flow, spelling, and grammar. Topics are varied depending on what people request and/or what is in the backlog.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: I like to do more of the smaller tasks; I don't really enjoy actual writing that much. I find myself going on these sort of edits streaks. For example, I was filling the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Album_ratings" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Album ratings">album ratings</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> template on a bunch of albums for a while. I also went around updating academic journal <a href="/wiki/Impact_factor" title="Impact factor">Impact factor</a> scores and even fixing a lot of improperly formatted musical artist infobox images. I also sometimes contribute to AfD discussions. I just like to help out where I can.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Kencf0618</i>: I am all over the map.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: Normally, my scope is transport-related articles, specifically those relating to the <a href="/wiki/Greater_Toronto_Area" title="Greater Toronto Area">Greater Toronto Area</a>.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>MarioGom</i>: I usually work on articles related to politics and Socialism. I also spend a fair amount of time dealing with integrity (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COIN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COIN">WP:COIN</a>) and bias (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red">Women in Red</a>) issues.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: I normally edit science and boxing articles, just because these are the things I know the most about.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffoletto</i>: Anything. Mostly science/technology related. But I tend to go deep on a topic and focus on that for a while and then move on.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bondegezou</i>: I mostly do edits around UK politics and elections, or around the music I like, but I also do edits related to my work in health research.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: I'm an admin and I spend most of my time doing admin work, particularly deleting categories and redirects that are no longer needed. I use to spend most of my time categorizing pages & categories before I became an admin.</li></ul></dd></dl> <p><b>What motivated you to join this Project? Is it different than the topics you usually cover?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: The worldwide spread of it and how it's affecting my city is what gave me reason to join after <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Another_Believer">Another Believer</a></span>'s invitation. It has made me look for sources and use them to cite ideas in the articles to keep them up to date.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: Obviously, the coronavirus-related articles are the most viewed articles on Wikipedia right now. With that comes a lot of edits, which in turn can lead to a lot of problems. For example, broken links/citations, content forking, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MOS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MOS">MOS</a> issues. And then, because the volume of edits, it becomes difficult to go through the edit history to figure out what caused the error in the first place. I figured it would be better to join the Project in order to be a part of a more centralized "system" for editing these articles rather than just trying to edit things by myself.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Kencf0618</i>: I have worked extensively on our Swine Flu timeline (we were shipping out body bags for that one), and began our COVID19 timeline. The global scope and local impact of this public health catastrophe is unprecedented in living memory – it's a long time since the Spanish Flu.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: When I first found out about this project, I was starting to edit the COVID-19-related articles. I joined because I knew the pandemic was going to last longer than I previously thought (which may cause more views for more time) and I was getting very interested in this topic at a time when schools were closed so I had much less else to really do at that time. With information coming out all the time and vandals trying to make it worse, why wouldn't I try to help?</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>MarioGom</i>: Being in confinement and unemployed has left me with a lot of spare time. I checked COVID-19 statistics around the world everyday and started to update them on Wikipedia when they were outdated. Previous familiarity with research and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliable sources</a> is helpful for my COVID-19-related tasks. Other than that, it is quite different from my usual Wikipedia work.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: The sheer scale of it needs a lot of editors.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffoletto</i>: It's the greatest crisis ever faced by my generation and wanted to contribute to solving it by ensuring accurate information is readily available. I'm also from Milan, Italy. A region that has been hit particularly hard and "early" in the Western world.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bondegezou</i>: I work in public health, including now on COVID-19, so I was obviously interested in what Wikipedia had to say on the subject. Projects can be a great way of bringing editors together.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: I became concerned in February about possible vandalism in COVID-19 articles so I started adding them to my Watchlist. Then I added more and more pages, there must be over 400 at this point. Joining the WikiProject seemed like the next logical step in order to stay informed about any standardization on the subject. One can't effectively patrol for vandalism and misinformation if you don't know the correct terminology or expectations. I have never worked on medicine-related articles so I'm still learning a lot from editors who are more experienced in this field.</li></ul></dd></dl> <p><b>What, in your opinion, is the main goal of this Project?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: To provide up-to-date, readily confirmed, and factual information on the pandemic and the effects and responses it is having on all of our homes.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: To be a place where Wikipedia editors can collaborate to provide up-to-date information about COVID-19 for Wikipedia readers.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Kencf0618</i>: As above.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: To organize and standardize the format of these articles while providing the most reliable and up-to-date information possible.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>MarioGom</i>: Nothing to add to previous answers. For me, personally, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_COVID-19/Case_Count_Task_Force" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19/Case Count Task Force">providing reliable and up-to-date statistics</a>.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: As per all above.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffolletto</i>: Totally agree with <a href="/wiki/User:Tenryuu" title="User:Tenryuu">User:Tenryuu</a></li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bondegezou</i>: <a href="/wiki/User:Username6892" title="User:Username6892">Username6892</a> says it best for me.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: To standardize sources for case counts and terminology on the subject so that they can be consistent over the hundreds of articles that have been recently created on aspects of COVID-19 and how it manifests across the world. Also, it helps to draw attention to COVID-19 pages that need some urgent attention.</li></ul></dd></dl> <p><b>Is working on articles relating to sickness and disease different from covering something like biology or military history? If so, how?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: I can't speak for covering military history or biology in general, but with how many people come to Wikipedia to get information on this ongoing pandemic, it is important to get facts from reliable sources so that people are properly informed and not needlessly panicked.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: I wouldn't say it's totally different. The pandemic can be looked at from multiple angles, from medicine to economics, politics, and pop culture. Because of that, you can join this Project and edit things in your area of expertise, and people with a completely different skill-set can help out with the other things you're not used to.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: If you look at biology (and most other science-related topics), it takes a while for each discovery to be made. The articles don't have a large amount of views or edits unless a new discovery is made. Updates don't normally happen often in those fields. In this current pandemic, there are many updates every day so people will come every day to check what the latest case numbers are and what the government and other institutions are doing about it, so editors have to make sure that info is reliable as well as up-to-date every day.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>MarioGom</i>: It is quite similar, although the bar for reliable sources is higher (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MEDRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MEDRS">WP:MEDRS</a>). I don't touch any purely medical content anyway.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: Not sure about military history, but it's quite similar to biology just as it has a lot of biology in it. Lots of things that need to be medically correct by the proper sources. <a href="/wiki/User:Magna19" title="User:Magna19">Magna19</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Magna19" title="User talk:Magna19">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Single/2020-03-29#c-Magna19-2020-03-24T19:16:00.000Z-signpost-article-title" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:16, 24 March 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Magna19-2020-03-24T19:16:00.000Z-signpost-article-title"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Magna19-2020-03-24T19:16:00.000Z-signpost-article-title"></span></li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffoletto</i>: Yes, very different. The consequences for inaccurate, misleading or imprecise information can be serious.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bondegezou</i>: In a way, the same basic principles of summarising reliable information clearly still apply, but it matters more if you get it wrong because of how someone might be acting on what is written. That is particularly true when we're dealing with a pandemic where our only current weapon against it is behaviour change.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: When I was younger, I worked as a copywriter of legal articles that were posted online for law firms. I was extremely conscious of the fact that people might be reading them for free legal advice and how careful I had to be in my use of language. This experience reminds me of that. In this case though, I'm not the content creator, as I have no medical background, I'm just checking pages & edits for possible vandalism or inappropriate content.</li></ul></dd></dl> <p><b>Do you see this Project lasting after the COVID-19 disease goes away?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: For a bit. I imagine there would be adding the aftermath of COVID-19 in each region and improving data collection and article layouts. Of course, due to the nature of the topic it covers, I consider this an <i>ad hoc</i> project that will eventually lose its relevancy once the virus is properly handled and eradicated. That's the hope, anyway.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: I can definitely see this project lasting, at least for a bit, after the disease goes away. This pandemic has caused entire countries to shut down and changed the lives of many people and I don't think there is another WikiProject that has the same global scope. After a while though I do expect the Project to die down and see different Projects take over the different aspects of the pandemic (i.e. expect to see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MED" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MED">WP:MED</a> become the place to talk about the disease or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:USA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:USA">WP:USA</a> become the place to go for its impact on the United States).</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Kencf0618</i>: This project shall never end.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: The answer to this question really depends on how large this outbreak becomes. As of now, I would say it will probably last a couple of years before eventually merging into <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MED" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MED">WP:MED</a>, though if the pandemic is larger than I expect, I could see it lasting much longer (perhaps until the next pandemic).</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>MarioGom</i>: I expect a gradual decrease of activity over time. At some point it will become either inactive or maybe merged into another project.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: I certainly don't see the project going away any time soon, just due to the unprecedented nature of it all.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffoletto</i>: Not sure how long this ordeal will last at the moment. Still insufficient data to determine how it will end. If the pandemic is defeated it will gradually go away.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bondegezou</i>: This virus isn't going away any time soon. Even once we've come out of the pandemic phase, this will still be a disease that affects people's lives, and we don't know what the long-term impacts of infection or the social changes we're seeing are. There is going to be plenty to do for years.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: There will probably always be a need for this WikiProject although I expect participation to decrease as the pandemic subsides. This is pretty typical with all WikiProjects which seem to have a natural lifecycle of initial enthusiasm that turns into a focus on the maintenance of articles. I expect there to be future pandemics and natural disasters that could use this WikiProject as a template for their own topics.</li></ul></dd></dl> <p><b>What words of wisdom, if any, would you give to new/inexperienced editors looking to join the Project, as I am sure there are many?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: Because information is constantly coming in at a high rate, and some may not be factual (e.g., treatments that are purported to prevent infection or even treat it) so a decent level of fact-checking is required. There's nothing improper about finding new information, but I believe that inexperienced editors should discuss it on the relevant talk page with more experienced editors so that it may be vetted and changes can be made before it is potentially added to the article.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: Don't be afraid to collaborate. If you have questions, ask them! If you get reverted, don't be discouraged. Discuss it on the talk page. We all just want to provide the best information to our readers and collaboration is the best way to do that.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Kencf0618</i>: Ooof. Let's wade into WWII, shall we...? I would advise new editors to specialize in what they know on the ground – local coverage, in other words.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: As a less-experienced editor myself, I normally edit articles which provide local coverage for me, because I am more knowledgeable in that area, but asking questions on the talk page is a good idea, too. Especially if you want to make <a href="/wiki/Talk:2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Canada#Split_Saskatchewan?" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk:2020 coronavirus pandemic in Canada">a major change</a>, it is good to get the opinions of others before doing it.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>MarioGom</i>: Keep calm. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CIVIL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CIVIL">Be civil</a>. Remember that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VOLUNTEER" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VOLUNTEER">we are volunteers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:There_is_no_deadline" title="Wikipedia:There is no deadline">there is no deadline</a>.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: Just stick to the best, most authoritative sources and find as many of them as possible.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffoletto</i>: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTNEWS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTNEWS">WP:NOTNEWS</a>. Don't rush to put everything in. Try to avoid news reports and focus on accurate scientific sources.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bondegezou</i>: What <a href="/wiki/User:Gtoffoletto" title="User:Gtoffoletto">Gtoffoletto</a> said.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: I don't want to discourage participation in this WikiProject but, at this point, if you have some concern with how material is being presented, it has probably already been discussed, possibly multiple times on article talk pages. Do not propose drastic changes or page moves without becoming familiar with talk page archives. Because the pace of edits and discussion has been moving so rapidly over the past three weeks, I'd encourage new editors to find a quieter place to learn editing because the world of COVID-19 articles can feel overwhelming. There are 6 million other articles that could use your attention, too.</li></ul></dd></dl> <p><b>What are some of the Project's main goals besides simply improving articles?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: As a result of collecting the correct data and reporting accurately, reducing global panic and informing readers about pertinent information.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: To inform our readers. People need to know the true scope of what's going on. Not just location-wise, but also field-wise. By that, I mean that the sports-minded people should be informed about the science of this disease, the scientists should be informed about the socioeconomic effects of this disease, etc.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Kencf0618</i>: The BBC's live rolling coverage (hard to keep up with!) today has a bit explaining exponential growth and vectors in terms of football (soccer) passes, so yeah...</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: To get the most up-to-date and reliable information, as well as making sure the articles don't fall to vandalism. There are many articles on the subject, so having a project on it makes it easier for us to make sure all of them are reliable and up-to-date in terms on cases and response efforts (Especially if the government announces a lockdown).</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: To ensure that real-world consequences of the article are the right ones, but not letting that be the primary reason for any edit, it also has to be in line with the sources. See the issues surrounding the current lead, for example.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffoletto</i>: Keeping things organised. There is and will be a huge rush of readers/editors. We must maintain order and efficiency in communication and collaboration.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: Accuracy and also educating editors and readers. We see some people who come to the pages with their own concerns about COVID-19 or who are trying to promote their own pet theory/point of view. This is misplaced, as we are focused on writing, updating & refining articles, but it's natural for readers to come looking for more information or trying to share what they believe might be helpful (but often isn't).</li></ul></dd></dl> <p><b>Do you have any last words you would like to share with our readers?</b> </p> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Tenryuu</i>: Don't panic or underestimate the virus, keep yourself prepared with the months to come, and stay in touch with friends and family for moral support. Go out as seldom as you can, and take proper precautions for you and others if you are heading out.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bait30</i>: Listen to the experts. Get your information from a multitude of sources. Do your research. Be informed. The pandemic is getting worse and worse because people are not doing those things.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Kencf0618</i>: As per George R. Stewart's <i><a href="/wiki/Earth_Abides" title="Earth Abides">Earth Abides</a></i>, we are going to keep this network running for as long as possible. Ours is an information network; he used power stations and water supplies as exemplary examples. We shall die and live at our stations.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Username6892</i>: Nobody knows what will happen next, so underestimating is dangerous and panicking is often useless. Those in the medical field know what is needed to get through this pandemic, so listen to them instead of panicking or going to the beach (an easy way to increase your chances of infection) during this time.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>MarioGom</i>: Don't trust those who say this is <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1248585704">@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{color:#00B785}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{color:#00B785}}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{font-family:Georgia,"DejaVu Serif",serif;color:#008560;quotes:none}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk-italic{font-family:inherit;font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk-marks{quotes:"\"""\""}</style><q class="inline-quote-talk">just another flu</q> or said that until recently. Be responsible: keep social distance, reduce contacts, stay home if you can afford it, prepare yourself but do not panic buy and hoard. Do this even if your Government is not forcing you to do it (yet).</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Magna19</i>: Stay indoors, learn from the Chinese response, keep the mind active and finally, hope for a vaccine.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Gtoffoletto</i>: This will affect the whole world. Let's stay united. We are all in this together. Have faith in science and we will make it together.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Bondegezou</i>: If you want advice on what to do, listen to your local health authorities. If you want to learn about the background to what is going on, we've got some interesting articles for you.</li></ul></dd></dl> <dl><dd><ul><li><i>Liz</i>: I hope this doesn't need to be said but don't rely on social media for accurate medical information and advice. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of COVID-19 to make it reliable and accurate. But, there are also hundreds of articles on this subject and we are sometimes spread thin. We're all volunteers and doing the best job we can with our time & talents. Please join in the effort and help improve Wikipedia on subjects you are knowledgeable about. Join us! If you find yourself temporarily out of work or out of school, it's great to have the feeling that you are contributing to such a worthwhile project.</li></ul></dd></dl> </div> <div

Many physicians have patients who read Wikipedia, and consequently, physicians read Wikipedia to understand what information is in public circulation. Because Wikipedia influences the media environment in every field of expertise, any organization which seeks to share information broadly with the public is a particular stakeholder in the scope and quality of Wikipedia content. Wikipedia relies on universities, research institutes, and cultural partners to publish excellent information which Wikipedia can cite, and those organizations in turn may take advantage of Wikipedia's media reach to accomplish their own communication goals for distributing and disseminating their information to the largest audience which the Internet has to offer. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1240928998"></div><div class="signpost-sidebar signpost-sidebar-fillerimage"><figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Google_search_for_coronavirus_pandemic_New_York-2.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Google logo with arrow pointing to Wikipedia logo, titled Why you should care" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Google_search_for_coronavirus_pandemic_New_York-2.png/300px-Google_search_for_coronavirus_pandemic_New_York-2.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="234" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Google_search_for_coronavirus_pandemic_New_York-2.png/450px-Google_search_for_coronavirus_pandemic_New_York-2.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Google_search_for_coronavirus_pandemic_New_York-2.png/600px-Google_search_for_coronavirus_pandemic_New_York-2.png 2x" data-file-width="1722" data-file-height="1342"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure><div class="signpost-fillerimage">Google publishes conventionally copyrighted content on their website which Wikipedia cannot republish.

As Wikipedia is a free and open project, the traffic report for every Wikipedia article in every language is free and open data for everyone to examine. These reports can help organizations to evaluate the usefulness of publishing in Wikipedia. Conventional communication investment assumes that an expert organization will be able to produce quality information at low cost, but then pay for expensive advertising and outreach to drive readers to their website or insert their content as advertising into existing reader communication channels. With Wikipedia, the audience reach is predictable as the people who use Internet search for gathering information. Consequently, Wikipedia's major challenge is in identifying and acquiring content and collaborations with organizations which will share it. Any organization which is engaged in global-scale public benefit communication, such as for global health, can use Wikipedia traffic reports to compare the pageviews to existing Wikipedia articles with their other options through other media channels. </p><p>Three popular Wikipedia audience metrics reports are "Pageviews", which is the traffic to a single article in a single language; "Massviews", which is the traffic to any number of articles in one language; and "Langviews", which is the traffic to a single article in every available Wikipedia language version. All of these are variations of the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pageviews_Analysis" class="extiw" title="meta:Pageviews Analysis">Pageviews Analysis</a> tool, which itself is a part of the broader practice of <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Traffic_reporting" class="extiw" title="meta:Traffic reporting">wiki traffic reporting</a>. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;

namespace was created in 2013 as a centralized location for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_Creation" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Articles for Creation">Articles for Creation</a> (AfC) submissions, after the idea was endorsed by the community in <a href="/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/584608117#Proposed_new_Draft_namespace" title="Special:PermanentLink/584608117">a request for comment on the village pump</a>. The original rationale for its creation was that the creation of the namespace would make it easier to locate AfC submissions and review them for issues. Initially, the RfC called for the elimination of userspace drafts, but the RfC was changed early on to continue allowing userspace drafts. Before the creation of draftspace, drafts were stored in userspace (as many still are today), or subpages of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_Incubator" title="Wikipedia:Article Incubator">Wikipedia:Article Incubator</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation" title="Wikipedia:Articles for creation">Wikipedia:Articles for creation</a>. Today, draftspace is used for AfC as well as for incubating articles that were created in mainspace but weren't quite ready for primetime (for example, because they didn't have enough references to meet the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GNG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GNG">general notability guideline</a>). </p><p><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Rethinking_draft_space" title="Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)">The "Rethinking draft space" discussion</a> currently going on the village pump does not contain any specific policy proposals, but rather seeks to start a discussion on whether the draft namespace should be reformed or eliminated. The section was created by <a href="/wiki/User:TonyBallioni" title="User:TonyBallioni">TonyBallioni</a> after he came "to the conclusion that draft space is a failure, and for the most part is something that is used as a holding ground for G13 since the majority of the content is unsalvageable." As such, he supports eliminating draftspace and returning AfC to a model of userspace submissions. Opponents of draftspace argue that drafts are less likely to be seen and improved by editors, and so they just end up getting deleted after they are abandoned by their creators. Other users support keeping draftspace because it reduces the burden placed on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPP">new page patrollers</a> (who are already severely backlogged), and keeps poorly written content and content from editors with a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest" title="Wikipedia:Conflict of interest">conflict of interest</a> out of mainspace, where they would be visible to more readers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="In_brief_2" data-mw-thread-id="h-In_brief_2-signpost-article-title"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-In_brief_2-signpost-article-title"></span>In brief<span data-mw-comment-end="h-In_brief_2-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <ul><li>On <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Calls_for_political_action_in_geonotices/watchlist_notices" title="Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)">the policy village pump</a>: should <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Geonotice" title="Wikipedia:Geonotice">geonotices</a> be allowed to contain political advocacy? This RfC was caused by the addition of a geonotice saying, "Please send email asking the US government to require open access to federally supported research." A wide majority of users have opposed using geonotices for any political advocacy (though some suggested an exception for issues that directly affect Wikipedia, such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SOPA">SOPA</a>); others saw the geonotice as in line with the Wikimedia movement's goals. There were also complaints that this controversial geonotice had not been put up for discussion in a more frequently visited page like the village pump (in fact, the author of this column didn't even know the geonotice request board existed until he wrote this paragraph).</li> <li>On <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#RfC:_Deprecation_and_blacklisting_process" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard">the reliable sources noticeboard</a>, there is an ongoing discussion on how to improve the process of deprecating and blacklisting consistently unreliable sources.

billionaire<sup id="cite_ref-Forbes1_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Forbes1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein" title="Jeffrey Epstein">Jeffrey Epstein</a> took many strange turns. So did the articles about him on Wikipedia. In 2008, he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution, served 13 months in a Florida jail, and was required to register as a sex offender. He allegedly committed illicit sexual activities while he was on work release from jail,<sup id="cite_ref-NYTimes1_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYTimes1-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and was suspected of continuing them through at least 2015.<sup id="cite_ref-NYer1_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYer1-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ultimately, he was accused of additional serious offenses, including sex trafficking, resulting in his July 2019 arrest. That month, publicity about the lenient plea deal in Epstein's 2008 case resulted in the resignation of US Secretary of Labor, Alexander Acosta, who as U.S. attorney for Southern Florida had approved the deal.<sup id="cite_ref-Guard1_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Guard1-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Epstein died in jail in August 2019, his death ruled a suicide by the New York City medical examiner.<sup id="cite_ref-WaPo1_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WaPo1-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Between his 2009 release from jail and his second arrest, the editing got interesting on Wikipedia. Epstein began an extensive campaign to whitewash his reputation. Most notably, he claimed large donations to well-known academics through his charitable foundations.<sup id="cite_ref-NYTimes3_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYTimes3-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Given his heinous crimes, the probable high-level political interest in the story, and the campaign to whitewash his reputation, in retrospect Wikipedia's article on Epstein seems like an obvious potential target for conflict-of-interest or paid editing. </p><p><i>The New York Times</i> on November 26, 2019, broke a story about Wikipedia editing by accounts with probable links to Epstein. The <i>Times</i> wrote that after his 2008 conviction, Epstein named <a href="/wiki/Reputation_management" title="Reputation management">reputation management</a> services that he used, and a Wikipedia user account, "Turville", appeared in information Epstein provided.<sup id="cite_ref-NYTimes3_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYTimes3-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However there is no <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Turville&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Turville (page does not exist)">User:Turville</a> registered on Wikipedia, and the <i>Times</i> suggested that <a href="/wiki/User:Turvill" title="User:Turvill">User:Turvill</a> (without an "e"), was the account referred to. </p><p>This <i>Signpost</i> report investigates whether User:Turvill and other accounts were associated with Epstein and how their edits affected two articles on Epstein. It is important to note that no purely on-Wiki investigation can prove the identity of a user account. For example other people may impersonate an editor in order to embarrass them, a tactic known as <a href="/wiki/Joe_jobbing" class="mw-redirect" title="Joe jobbing">Joe jobbing</a>. We cannot conclusively determine whether Epstein himself, employees of the <a href="/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein_VI_Foundation" title="Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation">Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation</a>, reputation management companies, or other types of paid editors edited the Wikipedia articles about Epstein. We can however gather evidence about how editors who associated themselves in some way with Epstein affected the articles. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Epstein_article" data-mw-thread-id="h-The_Epstein_article-signpost-article-title"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-The_Epstein_article-signpost-article-title"></span>The Epstein article<span data-mw-comment-end="h-The_Epstein_article-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <p>The Wikipedia article on Epstein was created on August 4, 2006, a week after Epstein's first indictment and two years before his conviction. <a href="/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/67614384" title="Special:PermanentLink/67614384">Within hours</a> a reliable source was added, citing CNN on the indictment. </p><p>Over the next two years the article grew to include 15 references, almost all of them about the sex scandal or investigation, until on June 30, 2008, when Epstein pleaded guilty and the <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/222705526" title="Special:Diff/222705526">plea was noted in Wikipedia</a>. </p><p>However, not all was well with the article during this time. A lot of material, mostly unreferenced and complimentary to Epstein was added to the top of the article and all the referenced material on the criminal case was pushed to the bottom. From October 2007 to February 2008 one IP editor made <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/63.165.175.253" title="Special:Contributions/63.165.175.253">six major deletions of material</a> on the sexual allegations and related lawsuits. </p><p>In December 2011 there was more conflict among editors. Wikipedia editors had been keeping the article up to date, with reliable sources—until the arrival of editors favoring Epstein. Trouble began when <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Stgeorge12" title="User talk:Stgeorge12">User:Stgeorge12</a> reverted an administrator and removed material about the sexual offense conviction with the <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/465874272" title="Special:Diff/465874272">edit summary</a> "I have been asked by Jeffrey Epstein to describe his biography in a professional and accurate way, that does not involve any scandals or disreputable content. As a living person, this is his right." On January 7, 2012, Stgeorge12 was indefinitely blocked for this and similar edits, at exactly the same time as another new editor, <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ottotiv" title="Special:Contributions/Ottotiv">User:Ottotiv</a>, who had made similar edits. These <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Single-purpose_accounts" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Single-purpose accounts">single-purpose accounts</a> had established a pattern of obstruction and interference that would continue with User:Turvill. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Turvill" data-mw-thread-id="h-Turvill-signpost-article-title"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Turvill-signpost-article-title"></span>Turvill<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Turvill-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jeffrey_Epstein_mug_shot.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Jeffrey_Epstein_mug_shot.jpg/200px-Jeffrey_Epstein_mug_shot.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="248" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Jeffrey_Epstein_mug_shot.jpg/300px-Jeffrey_Epstein_mug_shot.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Jeffrey_Epstein_mug_shot.jpg 2x" data-file-width="331" data-file-height="411"/></a><figcaption>Public domain mugshot Turvill tried to remove from Commons</figcaption></figure> <p>Six weeks after Stgeorge12 was indefinitely blocked, User:Turvill made <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Turvill" title="Special:Contributions/Turvill">their first edits</a>, with five of the first seven edits on talk pages discussing deleting the Jeffrey Epstein article or protesting the proposed deletion of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Jeffrey_Epstein_(plastic_surgeon)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Jeffrey Epstein (plastic surgeon) (page does not exist)">Jeffrey Epstein (plastic surgeon)</a>, which they called <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/477778398" title="Special:Diff/477778398">"my article"</a>. </p><p>Turvill has associated themself with Epstein by uploading flattering <a class="external text" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/upload&user=Turvill">photos of Epstein to Wikimedia Commons</a> with one described "<b>Previously published:</b> on my website, on facebook www.jeffreyepstein.org".

Wikidata is one of the latest projects acknowledging the dynamic nature of KG and is continuously updated by human contributors unlike DBpedia which is curated from wikipedia once in a while." </p> </blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id=""Strangers_in_a_seemingly_open-to-all_website:_the_gender_bias_in_Wikipedia"" data-mw-thread-id="h-"Strangers_in_a_seemingly_open-to-all_website:_the_gender_bias_in_Wikipedia"-signpost-article-title"><span id=".22Strangers_in_a_seemingly_open-to-all_website:_the_gender_bias_in_Wikipedia.22"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"Strangers_in_a_seemingly_open-to-all_website:_the_gender_bias_in_Wikipedia"-signpost-article-title"></span>"Strangers in a seemingly open-to-all website: the gender bias in Wikipedia"<span data-mw-comment-end="h-"Strangers_in_a_seemingly_open-to-all_website:_the_gender_bias_in_Wikipedia"-signpost-article-title"></span></h4></div> <p>From the abstract:<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <blockquote style="padding-left:1.0em; padding-right:1.0em; background-color:#eaf8f4;"><p>"Based on action research with a mixed evaluation method and two rounds of interviews, the research followed the steps of 27 Israeli women activists who participated in editing workshops. </p><p>Findings: [...] having the will to edit and the knowledge of how to edit are necessary but insufficient conditions for women to participate in Wikipedia. The finding reveals two categories: pre-editing barriers of negative reputation, lack of recognition, anonymity and fear of being erased; and post-editing barriers of experiences of rejection, alienation, lack of time and profit and ownership of knowledge. The research suggests a “Vicious Circle” model, displaying how the five layers of negative reputation, anonymity, fear, alienation and rejection enhance each other, in a manner that deters women from contributing to the website." </p> </blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="References_3" data-mw-thread-id="h-References_3-signpost-article-title"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-References_3-signpost-article-title"></span>References<span data-mw-comment-end="h-References_3-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239543626"><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-16"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-16">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFTamimeHallGiordano2019" class="citation journal cs1">Tamime, Reham Al; Hall, Wendy; Giordano, Richard (2019-07-06). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.aaai.org/ojs/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/3207">"Uncertainty During New Disease Outbreaks in Wikipedia"</a>. <i>Proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media</i>. <b>13</b> (1): 38–46. <a href="/wiki/ISSN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISSN (identifier)">ISSN</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://search.worldcat.org/issn/2334-0770">2334-0770</a>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Proceedings+of+the+International+AAAI+Conference+on+Web+and+Social+Media&rft.atitle=Uncertainty+During+New+Disease+Outbreaks+in+Wikipedia&rft.volume=13&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=38-46&rft.date=2019-07-06&rft.issn=2334-0770&rft.aulast=Tamime&rft.aufirst=Reham+Al&rft.au=Hall%2C+Wendy&rft.au=Giordano%2C+Richard&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aaai.org%2Fojs%2Findex.php%2FICWSM%2Farticle%2Fview%2F3207&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AWikipedia%3AWikipedia+Signpost%2FSingle%2F2020-03-29" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-17"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-17">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMayfieldBlack2019" class="citation journal cs1">Mayfield, Elijah; Black, Alan W.

I noticed that chapter 31, "Marburg and Ebola viruses", contained a fair bit of text that was nearly identical, word for word, as that in the Wikipedia article <a href="/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease" class="mw-redirect" title="Ebola virus disease">Ebola virus disease</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://books.google.ca/books?id=S90mOwgdz9kC&pg=PA364">A page from the book</a> may be seen on <a href="/wiki/Google_Books" title="Google Books">Google Books</a>, with at least the "natural reservoirs" section being nearly verbatim and some parts of the rest of the chapter containing great similarities. </p><p>Initially, I made an assumption that someone had copied and pasted from this book into Wikipedia. However, thankfully we have the ability to go back and view every version of Wikipedia that has ever existed. I could thus determine that the content in question was added to Wikipedia <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/88947771" title="Special:Diff/88947771">back in 2006</a> and was subsequently edited and expanded between then and 2010, when the <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ebola_virus_disease&oldid=404199575#Natural_reservoirs">greatest similarities occur</a>. From this I could conclude that it was partly written by the Wikipedians <a href="/wiki/User:ChyranandChloe" title="User:ChyranandChloe">ChyranandChloe</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Rhys&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Rhys (page does not exist)">Rhys</a>. </p><p>Next, I wondered whether one of these individuals was the author of the OUP chapter, namely, Graham Lloyd of the Special Pathogens Reference Unit at <a href="/wiki/Porton_Down" title="Porton Down">Porton Down</a>. I contacted the user who had made the majority of the contributions, who turned out to be a virologist in Australia who assured me that while he had contributed to Wikipedia, he had never contributed to the <i>Oxford Textbook of Zoonoses</i>. </p><p>Finally, I looked for attribution of Wikipedia in the <i>Oxford Textbook of Zoonoses</i> and a release of this book under an <a href="/wiki/Open_license" class="mw-redirect" title="Open license">open license</a> as required by Wikipedia, and the result was that neither of these have been performed. The hardcover version of the <i>Oxford Textbook of Zoonoses</i> retails for $375. I discussed this issue with the legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation, who contacted the Oxford University Press. We were hoping that they could negotiate both attribution and release under an open license. </p><p>The reputation of Wikipedia in academia often seems to be that it is good enough for academics to use and even occasionally claim as their own work, but not good enough for either students or the “unwashed masses”. Thus I believed that convincing one of the world’s foremost medical publishers to both attribute and use an open license would be difficult. The legal team at the WMF, however, was optimistic. Initial emails from OUP indicated that this case would take longer than usual, as the people involved were “all over the world doing important Ebola work”. This, of course, is not the first time we have come across the academic literature copy and pasting from Wikipedia. In 2012, I discovered a medical textbook had also <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/12/book-that-plagiarized-from-wikipedia-is-pulled-from-market/">extensively copied from Wikipedia</a>. (Also see the <i>Signpost</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s 2012 <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2012-06-11/Special_report" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-06-11/Special report">special report</a> on the misappropriation of Wikimedia content.) </p><p>At Wikipedia, we are happy to work with publishers. A year or so ago, I helped guide the company <a href="/wiki/Boundless_(company)" title="Boundless (company)">Boundless</a>, which creates open access textbooks mostly based on Wikipedia content for first year university students, on how to appropriately attribute. These books were already released under a <a href="/wiki/CC_BY_SA" class="mw-redirect" title="CC BY SA">CC BY SA</a> license. We attempted to work with the OUP in the same fashion. </p><p>On January 20, 2015, the OUP acknowledged that the content originated from Wikipedia and agreed to attribute Wikipedia, but were having difficulty with the open licensing. Following further inspection of the <i>Oxford Textbook of Zoonoses</i> , I found more inconsistencies. For example, while parts of the text were exactly the same, the author had not consistently used the same references. The references used on the Wikipedia article supported the text, but the references in the <i>Oxford Textbook of Zoonoses</i> that were changed did not support the text in question. The question remains as to why the references were changed. As a result of these changes, the quality of the copied content was lowered. </p><p>On February 5, 2015, I emailed the OUP offering to rewrite and update the chapter in question in collaboration with fellow Wikipedians. The next day, they replied via e-mail stating that they had already “independently decided to update the chapter and that that work [was] already in hand”. Writing a textbook chapter takes a fair length of time, likely weeks rather than a few days. Looking at the time line, it is questionable whether the OUP ever seriously intended to attribute Wikipedia. While our content passed their review processes, they claimed it was simply an “inadvertent omission of citation”. It is likely that a replacement chapter was requested immediately after the WMF legal department contacted OUP’s team. </p><p>The one good thing that has come out of all of this is that Wikipedia’s content passing a major textbook publisher review processes is some external validation of Wikipedia’s quality. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="A_look_at_the_references" data-mw-thread-id="h-A_look_at_the_references-signpost-article-title"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-A_look_at_the_references-signpost-article-title"></span>A look at the references<span data-mw-comment-end="h-A_look_at_the_references-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <ul><li>Both Wikipedia and the <i>Oxford Textbook of Zoonoses</i> include "The absence of clinical signs in these bats is characteristic of a reservoir species.

As part of these operational actions, we have:</i> </p> <ul><li><i>Closed both Foundation offices in San Francisco and Washington, DC, until at least March 31, 2020. All staff are now working remotely.</i></li> <li><i>Shifted to a reduced work week. Expectations are that staff may work 20 hours a week if necessary, and all will be paid according to their usual work schedules.</i></li> <li><i>Waived normal sick time requirements for staff who are ill or caring for others.</i></li> <li><i>Guaranteed all contract and hourly workers full compensation for planned hours worked.</i></li> <li><i>Cancelled all near-term, in-person gatherings until the World Health Organization declares the pandemic over.</i></li></ul> <p><i>Importantly, we have shifted our priorities to essential work, including keeping Wikipedia online and available for the world as a critical informational resource. Please <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/COVID-19" class="extiw" title="meta:COVID-19">see here</a> for real-time updates about our COVID-19 response, as well as related resources.</i> </p> <hr/> <p>The Wikimedia Foundation is closely monitoring developments with respect to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its potential impact on our staff and the communities in which we all live. Today, we’re sharing steps we’re taking to protect our employees and how we plan to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. </p><p>For the remainder of March 2020, our San Francisco office will be closed to staff and visitors. We are putting in place measures to ensure that our San Francisco-based staff have resources and support to continue working remotely. Our Washington D.C. office will remain open for the time being, though we are encouraging everyone to take precautions to protect themselves and their communities and to work remotely where possible. </p><p>We have also temporarily suspended nonessential travel for all staff, and instituted a risk review process for any travel considered essential. In addition, we have been in touch with members of the Wikimedia movement community with respect to upcoming events and are taking necessary steps to cancel or postpone these, based on potential risks. </p><p>To ensure we continue to evaluate and take action to limit the spread of COVID-19, we have established a responding team of staff to monitor new developments and determine the appropriate measures as the situation further develops. This team will also be tasked with ensuring we have clear, actionable protocols and plans to maintain the continuity of technical needs to provide free knowledge for our hundreds of millions of users around the world. </p><p>Approximately 64 percent of Wikimedia Foundation staff are remote, and so we do not anticipate a major disruption in our work. That said, we’re continuing to evaluate and take necessary measures to meet the organization’s goals and priorities. </p><p>We encourage our staff, partners, volunteer communities, and everyone to take care of themselves during this time, and recognize the role each of us can play in not only limiting the spread of the disease for ourselves, but also for the communities we all live in. Stay safe, be well, and we’ll keep you updated as the situation develops. </p><p><br/> </p> </div> <div style="clear:both"></div></div> <p><br/><br/><i><b><a

2020</figcaption></figure> <p>There is a lot that is making me happy this week. I'm happy that I'm back to contributing to "On The Bright Side" and the <i>What's Making You Happy This Week?</i> threads again because it's something I look forward to. It's nice to think and reflect upon the positivity across the Wikimedia movement. </p><p>This week, I read an interesting article from <i><a href="/wiki/Wired_(magazine)" title="Wired (magazine)">Wired</a></i> entitled "Wikipedia Is The Last Best Place On The Internet". A link to the article can be found here: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.wired.com/story/wikipedia-online-encyclopedia-best-place-internet/">[1]</a>. I really enjoyed reading this, and I agree that Wikipedia really has come a long way since 2007. The extent of Wikipedia's influence has grown considerably and has had such an impact on the world today that I really couldn't even imagine what the world would be like without it. </p><p>I am looking forward to the start of the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikigap_Challenge" class="extiw" title="m:Wikigap Challenge">Wikigap Challenge</a>, which is taking place on March 8 through April 8, 2020. This challenge is receiving help from the <a href="/wiki/Office_of_the_United_Nations_High_Commissioner_for_Human_Rights" title="Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights">UN Human Rights Office</a> which is incredible and not something that happens everyday. However, it seems like there's always something interesting going on when I check Wikimedia-l, and that's thanks to the dedicated efforts of countless editors. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week?-signpost-article-title"><span id="Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week?-signpost-article-title"></span>Week of 15 March 2020: <span title="Dutch-language text"><i lang="nl"><a href="/wiki/Dutch_language" title="Dutch language">Waar word jij blij van deze week?</a></i></span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week?-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="From_User:Pine_2" data-mw-thread-id="h-From_User:Pine_2-Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week?"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-From_User:Pine_2-Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week?"></span>From <a href="/wiki/User:Pine" title="User:Pine">User:Pine</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-From_User:Pine_2-Week_of_15_March_2020:_Waar_word_jij_blij_van_deze_week?"></span></h4></div> <p><b>Preface</b> </p><p>Mindful of the ongoing <a href="/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic" class="mw-redirect" title="2019–20 coronavirus pandemic">2019–20 coronavirus pandemic</a>, the tone of this week's email is more somber than some emails of the past.

However, I realize that right now is a difficult time for a lot of people. Before I write about anything else, I would like to thank the real world heroes out there. I think that no words can accurately describe the cumulative effort and sacrifices that so many people are making everyday. I would especially like to thank doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. I would like to thank people who provide shelter and food to other people in need. I want to thank the countless parents that are doing everything they can. I want to thank caregivers for what they do everyday. I extend my sympathies to anyone who is going through a really difficult time right now, because so many people are facing struggles that I can't even begin to imagine. </p><p>Sometimes, it's the small and seemingly inconsequential moments that can really matter. For me, that's been doing my best to do what I can. Living in those moments of joy where I find them. This week, that involved lots of oatmeal and tea, taking a brief walk outside to feel the wind, and reading for hours on end. I have also listened to music. If anyone is curious, I absolutely adore <a href="/wiki/My_Favorite_Things_(song)" title="My Favorite Things (song)">this song</a> from <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music" title="The Sound of Music">The Sound of Music</a></i>. I think I gravitated towards it because even though life can be scary sometimes, remembering your favourite things can help get you through that. </p><p>I've also spent time on Wikipedia, and there are a lot of good things happening on-wiki. There's a new WikiProject dedicated to Wikipedia's coverage of COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_COVID-19" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19">WikiProject COVID-19</a>. There are so many editors actively contributing there, and it's heartwarming to see this kind of intense collaboration and dedication. The ramifications of these actions have a very real impact on the real world. It's amazing that so many people are doing their best to help others. I'm thankful for that, and to everyone who tries to make the world a better place. </p><p><b>Gallery</b> </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-packed"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 126.66666666667px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 124.66666666667px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Porridge_oats_with_blueberries_and_cinnamon.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Oatmeal with blueberries"><img alt="Oatmeal with blueberries" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Porridge_oats_with_blueberries_and_cinnamon.jpg/187px-Porridge_oats_with_blueberries_and_cinnamon.jpg" decoding="async" width="125" height="125" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Porridge_oats_with_blueberries_and_cinnamon.jpg/281px-Porridge_oats_with_blueberries_and_cinnamon.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Porridge_oats_with_blueberries_and_cinnamon.jpg/374px-Porridge_oats_with_blueberries_and_cinnamon.jpg 2x" data-file-width="810" data-file-height="810"/></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Oatmeal with blueberries</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 188.66666666667px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 186.66666666667px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Stack_of_Books.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Stack of books"><img alt="Stack of books" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Stack_of_Books.jpg/280px-Stack_of_Books.jpg" decoding="async" width="187" height="125" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Stack_of_Books.jpg/420px-Stack_of_Books.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Stack_of_Books.jpg/559px-Stack_of_Books.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1371"/></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Stack of books </div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 118.66666666667px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 116.66666666667px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:SARS-CoV-2_(Wikimedia_colors).svg" class="mw-file-description" title="Logo for WikiProject COVID-19"><img alt="Logo for WikiProject COVID-19" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/SARS-CoV-2_%28Wikimedia_colors%29.svg/175px-SARS-CoV-2_%28Wikimedia_colors%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="117" height="125" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/SARS-CoV-2_%28Wikimedia_colors%29.svg/263px-SARS-CoV-2_%28Wikimedia_colors%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/SARS-CoV-2_%28Wikimedia_colors%29.svg/350px-SARS-CoV-2_%28Wikimedia_colors%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="666" data-file-height="711"/></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Logo for WikiProject COVID-19 </div> </li> </ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Week_of_29_March_2020:_这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？" data-mw-thread-id="h-Week_of_29_March_2020:_这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？-signpost-article-title"><span id="Week_of_29_March_2020:_.E8.BF.99.E4.B8.AA.E6.98.9F.E6.9C.9F.E8.AE.A9.E6.82.A8.E6.84.9F.E5.88.B0.E5.BC.80.E5.BF.83.E7.9A.84.E6.98.AF.E4.BB.80.E4.B9.88.EF.BC.9F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Week_of_29_March_2020:_这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？-signpost-article-title"></span>Week of 29 March 2020: <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh"><a href="/wiki/Chinese_language" title="Chinese language">这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？</a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Week_of_29_March_2020:_这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="From_User:Pine_3" data-mw-thread-id="h-From_User:Pine_3-Week_of_29_March_2020:_这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-From_User:Pine_3-Week_of_29_March_2020:_这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？"></span>From <a href="/wiki/User:Pine" title="User:Pine">User:Pine</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-From_User:Pine_3-Week_of_29_March_2020:_这个星期让您感到开心的是什么？"></span></h4></div> <p>I would like to express gratitude to people who, instead of running away from the <a href="/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic" class="mw-redirect" title="2019–20 coronavirus pandemic">2019–20 coronavirus pandemic</a>, are "running toward the fire", especially people who voluntarily accept personal risks.
