A different kind #WikiPoll this week: we've been on the Fediverse for just over a month now, what kind of posts do you enjoy seeing and want more of?

Is there #Wikipedia-related content you want to see that we aren't posting?

To be precise:
My claim “Behind the scenes Wikipedia organizing/strategy” had no concrete sources.
It meant “Gimme a quick connection to the wikidata dev-community and I enjoyed this. And cool videos“ :) Rock on.

@wikipedia I do not currently follow you, so it would be very unfair of me to say what this particular account should be.

But perhaps .. the answer is to split them.

I might follow a low frequency strange facts account, where I might not be interested in the others.

@wikipedia I’d love to see:
Common misconceptions
A random article of the day/week etc
Articles that aren’t read much - to give them some love!
Themed sets of toots - e.g. “Space” or “Etymology” days.

One post per day on an interesting article that is least requested. Something like Google Doodle

Research about Wikipedia or using Wikipedia. I know there’s @wikiresearch , but some of that here, too.

@wikipedia Not immediately pertaining to the question in the polls:
As a person of funny characters and languages, I genuinely like seeing stuff going out in languages I don't know (or in those I use less frequently). I would love if more of the Big Accounts of the World just did this without explanation or apology.

(While still maintaining a majority fraction of posts in the language that [virtually] all of us share on here... we're all here to talk after all)

@wikipedia pages that serve as fact check of a trending topic. Truth-trolling, the way a dictionary site does on twitter ;->
