As some of you may have seen on social media already, the first ever
content made specifically for Wikipedia, in space, was uploaded to
Commons today, and is now in use on Wikipedia articles.
ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli made recordings of his speaking voice in
English and his native Italian, as part of the 'Voice Intro Project'.
I wrote a blog post about how this came to happen, for the WMF blog:

or share the Wikipedia Facebook page's post:

or of course post in your own words, with the hashtag #WikiVIP
And remember, please, to ask other people who have Wikipedia
biographies, or an item on Wikidata, to record their voice, as
described at:
