happy holiday to all who celebrate

There's this Wikipedia editor named LunaEatsTuna who was obsessed with writing articles about timekeeping for like two years and time stuff on wikipedia rocks now

it always blows my mind to think about how it took until 1918 for cities to agree what time it was

just realized i accidentally turned off messages last week but they're back open now! you can once again send me amazing things from wikipedia if you'd like

I really like the most popular cat names in china

love the amazon reviews for this brand of potato chips that used to only be sold in prison

today i learned there is a "dracula tourism" article

fyi it started this week!

fyi a lot of articles about cosmetics and beauty SUCK SOOO BAD and could use your help. you can research the science or history of a product in good sources and add it! you can trim rambly unsourced text! you can demonstrate concealer by uploading pics of your eye with and without it!

didn't expect wikipedia's wart photo to be heartwarming but here we are

"openai.com" was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and "tiktok.com" was the quaint shared homepage of a couple as their relationship progressed from dating to married with a baby (2000). THREAD!!!

The Wikipedia article “Meaning of life” has been edited 10,713 times in its 25 year existence, and 23% of those edits have been reverted as vandalism. One common pattern is for vandals to delete the entire article and replace it with a single line. I collected some examples from the old days:

I hope the guy from the "fan (person)" article knows that i am a fan of him

you're only supposed to upload non-free images to wikimedia commons as a last resort (even when the pics would clearly fall under "fair use"). and some editors end up explaining their reasoning VERY thoroughly when doing so

obsessed with the 17yo who gave an innuendo-laden speech nominating his friend for student council and not only led his friend to victory with 90% of vote but was himself voted graduation speaker. when school admin didn’t allow it he took them to the supreme court AND WON! you gotta read the speech

you might think "kenneth carson" would redirect to ken carson, the popular atlanta rapper, but no it redirects to ken from barbie whose canonical name is literally kenneth carson. plus the rapper isn't a kenneth

Some of yall on here

good feeling when youre checking out some little guy on wikipedia and their infobox has the "least concern" circle

i like how wikipedia editors always find a way to mention linux. even in articles you didn't think it could possibly come up

I like how wikipedia uses the infobox for cars here

happy anniversary of when almost nothing happened

happy 18th birthday to "come to brazil"

not sure how many people will find this interesting but some of the international spelling alphabets before the NATO phonetic alphabet were crazy! what do you mean they were saying "khartoum" and "xaintrie"? what do you mean "lmao" started with "love mike"!

national beer day falls on taco tuesday this year
