Podcast # 121: How April Fools' went down

Wikipedia Weekly Episode 121

In the first roundtable discussion on the podcast for 2016, we discuss what English Wikipedia did for April Fools' Day; interesting takeaways from the monthly metrics/activities meeting in the Katherine Maher era (25:20); Emily Temple-Wood's newly found fame in turning trolls into edits (36:58); and Wikipedia Zero and the problem with Angolan file sharers (43:38). Participants: Fuzheado, Keilana, and Gamaliel. Readers who want to navigate through the audio file can do so here.

Wikipedia Weekly is a spoken English-language audio podcast that discusses the Wikimedia movement, and has been produced intermittently since 2006. These new episodes mark a return to what we hope will be a semi-regular publication schedule and will be regularly featured in The Signpost.

We welcome a diverse range of participation and voices from all over the community. Ideas and feedback can be left on the talk page on the main Wikipedia Weekly page, and an active Facebook group has been popular in keeping the conversation going between episodes. We welcome community help in indexing the time code and topics discussed, to make for easier navigation of the content.

I just would like to note that the RSS feed still ends with podcast no. 119. – Thx!--Aschmidt (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Aschmidt: it should be fixed now, with the new episodes available. Still trying to fix the missing image. -- Fuzheado | Talk 13:13, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, thanks, again, Fuzheado.--Aschmidt (talk) 18:45, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
