Soap operas, series, fictional characters... Danilo has written 140+ Wikipedia articles on the subjects he loves. That same passion has added 33 women through Women in Red, helping close open knowledge's gender gap. Proud to have him in our Wikimedia UK community 💛

Today: the International Day for Universal Access to Information. This year's theme is information integrity in the digital age. AI writes a paragraph in seconds, checking it's true takes a person. Open, human-checked knowledge is the counterweight. What does reliable info mean to you?

We're proud to be part of the new N-RICH project, exploring how Wikidata and Linked Open Data can act as a shared connective layer for UK cultural heritage, helping collections, data services and research infrastructures connect across institutional boundaries.

Fairness starts with visibility. This International Equal Pay Day, we're reminded that closing the pay gap and closing the gaps in our shared knowledge are part of the same work because you can't value what you can't see.

One of our Heritage Lab fellows used the writing he produced with us as a sample in a successful PhD application! Open-knowledge work builds real skills and networks, not just articles. That's what our fellowship with The Heritage Lab set out to do.
