 Integration of the #Fediverse and #Mastodon Identity standards into the software that powers #WikiPedia & other Wiki's is so important I find it hard to express. It is the first big step of integration between the Wikipedian and Fediverse communities, and it has been massively under-noticed and not gotten nearly the attention this deserved. I'm all for it, want to find ways to help & hope this is the beginning of much more integration to come. 🔥 7 comments
 @swasserstrom @tchambers @System32 @swasserstrom @tchambers @fediversereport @wikipedia @taavi @mediawiki I don’t think it’s right to say that someone has to be famous to have their own article on Wikipedia. You don’t have to be famous, but to be “known”. A person becomes “known” for many things: achievements, controversies, victims of crime, etc. Also, an article about yourself isn’t necessarily a good thing. @System32 @swasserstrom @tchambers @fediversereport @wikipedia @taavi @mediawiki No one, famous or otherwise, should create a Wikipedia page about themself, because it's a conflict of interest.

@tchambers @fediversereport @wikipedia @taavi @mediawiki This sounds like great news. I hope more of our federated friends hear about it.
