There is a lot that is making me happy this week. I'm happy that I'm back to contributing to "On The Bright Side" and the "What's Making You Happy This Week?" threads again because it's something I look forward to. It's nice to think and reflect upon the positivity across the Wikimedia movement. I'm also thankful to Pine for helping me send this email in plain text formatting.
This week, I read an interesting article from Wired entitled "Wikipedia Is The Last Best Place On The Internet". A link to the article can be found here: [1]. I really enjoyed reading this, and I agree that Wikipedia really has come a long way since 2007. The extent of Wikipedia's influence has grown considerably and has had such an impact on the world today that I really couldn't even imagine what the world would be like without it. I am looking forward to the start of the Wikigap Challenge [2], which is taking place on March 8, 2020. This challenge is receiving help from the UN Human Rights Office [3] which is incredible and not something that happens everyday. However, it seems like there's always something interesting going on when I check Wikimedia-l, and that's thanks to the dedicated efforts of countless editors. Here's a photo of the launch of Wikigap 2020 in Naga City, Philippines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WikiGap_PH_2020_launch.jpg. The photo is by User:Filipinayzd.
