We All Know About Wikipedia, But How About Wikimedia?
3/24/2025
So Many Projects
Little did I know how many different initiatives were under the Wikipedia group, that I learned last year is call Wikimedia. When I went searching for free images, I discovered Wikimedia Commons, and thought that was going to be a very useful tool for me. Indeed it is better than I could have imagined after so many dissapointments.I don't currently know what much of the different project are, but I hope to learn about them in the future. If and when I do, hopefully I will share it here as well. If you find out anything interesting, please let me know.
