All of us know well about wikipedia. But how many of us actually know its sisters, and its parent?
Wikipedia was developed by Wiki Media Foundation and it has many projects under it other than the very popular wikipedia. Let me list each of them with a small description.
- Wiktionary : multilingual free content dictionary in every language
- Wikiquote : quotations taken from famous people, books, speeches, films or any intellectually interesting materials. Proverbs, mnemonics or slogans are also included in Wikiquote
- Wikibooks : collection of free e-book resources, including textbooks, language courses, manuals, and annotated public domain books
- Wikisource : collection of texts that could be distributed as free and open content
- Wikispecies : species database for taxonomy
- Wikinews : news on a wide variety of subjects
- Wikiversity : learning materials and learning communities, as well as research
- Wikimedia Commons : repository for free photographs, diagrams, maps, videos, animations, music, sounds, spoken texts, and other free media
Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter
As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
