If you think media is important for open knowledge, but don't enjoy creating it, here's a great blog post of other important tasks you can help with: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/07/27/tidbits-for-commons-contributions-you-dont-have-to-be-a-photographer/

Now that both #MangroveReviews and #MapComplete support editing and deleting your reviews, I set about making some much-needed improvements.

My review of Agasi now also describes the ambience a little, and ends on a more positive note to accurately reflect my feelings.

My review of Manoj Nān Wālā also got some tweaks.

Both also got some new photographs on #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax! Check out my recent uploads on Wikimedia Commons

I discovered that there is a slight caveat to how MapComplete handles edits of reviews, but I hope it will be fixed with time.

As always, I rely on the community’s donations to make ends meet. If you like my contributions, support me on Liberapay!

It appears that someone saw a photo of me at WikidataCon 2017* on #WikimediaCommons with my beard clearly visible, and categorized it as "Women wearing fingernail polish", which is a rather interesting take in itself, especially considering the category tree.

So anyway I created https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Non-binary_people_wearing_fingernail_polish : if you have other enby people to add here, don't hesitate

Calling all map and train nerds in #Perth (who'd imagine that there'd be a crossover?): this Sunday is the opening of the new railway line Q120871210, and there's going to be an #OpenStreetMap meetup and travelling mapping party:

(We'll be uploading photos to #WikimediaCommons.)

Travail photographique impressionnant de la part de Chabe01 qui photographie les rues et plaques de rue. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_of_Paris_by_Chabe01 #Paris #WikimediaCommons #Rues #PlaquesDeRues

En fouillant les entrepôts de données à la recherche de photos sous licences libres, je suis tombé en 2023 sur le projet de recherche anglais "Cartes postales du bagne" https://cartespostalesdubagne.com/

J'ai copié les photos de #Figshare vers #WikimediaCommons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Postcards_from_the_Bagne_-_Tourism_in_the_shadow_of_France%27s_overseas_penal_history

Ächz. An einem (!) Tag in Hamburg 499 Fotos gemacht. Wie lange werde ich wohl für Auswahl, Entwicklung, Hochladen, Beschriften und Kategorisieren auf Wikimedia Commons brauchen?

Ce dimanche, Michel Becker, coauteur du livre des énigmes de la #Chouettedor était à #Dabo, sur les lieux de la découverte.

Une belle occasion, pas loin de chez moi, pour faire quelques #photos pour #Wikipedia et #WikimediaCommons ! Maintenant, la page de la chasse de la chouette d'or est illustrée.

Finally done processing an additional 50 photos meaning I have now completed doing perspective corrections on 400 photos of NHCP #HistoricalMarkers of the #Philippines ! I hope to complete 500 by the year’s end.

You can browse through all 400 in #WikimediaCommons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Perspective_corrections_by_Eugene_Alvin_Villar

And if you’re curious how I am doing this, a slightly outdated process is on my blog: https://vaes9.com/posts/perspective_correction

Anyway, I have a backlog of around 140 photos with more on the way: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:TODO_-_Needs_perspective_correction

Que font les wikimédiens quand ils reçoivent une lettre ? Ils la publient sur #WikimediaCommons et #Wikisource https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Letter_from_Ed_Martin_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation
