Hi everyone, I wanted to thank Tilman for highlighting both the Test of Time honorable mention and the WMF Research Award of the Year- these are important achievements that deserve to be recognized.
Also, this is a good opportunity to invite everyone on the list to celebrate research achievements in and around the Wikimedia projects :) You can use the [recognition] tag in your subject lines when sharing news like this. It helps surface acknowledgements across the community and makes it easier to track and celebrate these moments together.

For equity though, one might also want to highlight the "Test of Time" honorable mention <https://x.com/icwsm/status/1937902512171897126> at the same conference last week, for "It's a Man's Wikipedia? Assessing Gender Inequality in an Online Encyclopedia" <https://doi.org/10.1609/icwsm.v9i1.14628> (2015), by Claudia Wagner, David Garcia, Mohsen Jadidi, and Markus Strohmaier (See also the review in our research newsletter at the time: "Notable women 'slightly overrepresented' (not underrepresented) on Wikipedia, but the Smurfette principle still holds" < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2015/May#Notable_women_%22slightly_overrepresented%22_(not_underrepresented)_on_Wikipedia,_but_the_Smurfette_principle_still_holds > ) Speaking of research recognitions: Readers of this list could also be interested in the fact that six weeks ago at the Wiki Workshop conference, the Wikimedia Foundation announced the 2025 recipients of its "Research Award of the Year". I haven't seen this publicly mentioned yet outside the event (except for a social media post by one of the awardees), but I added a brief note < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2025/June#Wiki_Workshop_2025,_WMF_Research_Award > in the new issue of the research newsletter. I hope this doesn't scoop any announcements that perhaps the Wikimedia Foundation might still be working on during the 2025-26 fiscal year.
