---

Your arrival at Wikimania 2026 was unexpected; did you have a good trip?

Yes! Being a mascot rather than a human, I didn't need to apply for a "visa." I learned that some Wikimedians couldn't see me simply because they couldn't get that piece of paper—sad Baby Globe emoji... Sending them lots of WikiLove.

How many Wikimedians did you pose with?

Not enough! For sure!

The Wikimedia France Core Team worked hard on accessibility for this event; what did you think of it? Is there anything that could be improved?

The work was a bit too human-centric—especially regarding doorway widths and the many staircases, which aren't well-suited for inflatable mascots! Fortunately, I had assistants to guide me—sending love to those folks!

What was your favorite snack or treat from the coffee break buffets?

Mini-pizzas, without hesitation—sticking-out-tongue emoji. But let's face it: as a mascot, I'm constantly in demand. I didn't get to enjoy the buffets much. But anyway, what are mini-pizzas compared to making so many people happy—love emoji?

Are you more of a coffee, tea, or hot chocolate person?

A bit of ice-coooold water with a drop of lemon or some mint. Or both! No sugar, obviously—smiley face.

Croissant, pain au chocolat, or chocolatine?

Yes!

Endive or chicon?

I'll go with 50-50.

Did you get a chance to taste the cheeses?

Yes, but my favorite wasn't there: mozzarella—which has the prettiest cheese shape, that of a big white ball!

Why did you take so long to come over for the group photo? We waited several minutes in the scorching sun!

Because I’m a star—a "Baby Globe" star with starry eyes—and stars like to keep people waiting! ...And also because I’d gone off to get all spruced up.

By the way, what are the next stops on your tour? Are you already preparing to promote your new album? (As a reminder, Taylor Swift played 149 concerts for over 10 million fans during her 2023–2024 tour.)

I’ll probably head to Canada in September for the North American WikiConference. After that, I definitely plan to attend the next Wikimania in Santiago in 2027.

I’d love to get up on stage with the Wiki-orchestra and the Wiki-choir. I was blown away by their performance in Paris!

Is it a good position to be in—Baby Globe at Wikimania?

You know, I don’t believe there are "good" or "bad" situations. I’d say that, above all, it involves a lot of responsibility; for instance, I had to spend a long time thinking about my closing ceremony speech and getting ready to look magnificent in the group photo. But if I had to sum up my Wikimania experience, I’d say it’s primarily about meeting Wikimedians—people who reached out to me and hugged me when I least expected it... And it’s fascinating to think about how chance encounters and connections forge a community.

What’s your take on Wiki Workers United (WWU)? You appear in some of their visuals.

I called Bernadette to talk about it, but she drove into a tunnel...

Can you explain your connection to the Wikimedia Cuteness Association?

The Board of Cuties approved my membership due to my high cuteness potential and my strategic alignment—synergistic and disruptive—with key priority areas, specifically "Cuteness Equity" and "Cuteness as a Service," all within a framework of decentralization and the radical reclaiming of cuteness.

What is your favorite beret color?

I wouldn't say I have a single favorite color; it depends on the day and the situation. My goal is to be cute in every circumstance! I might have a slight preference for blue over red—probably the satisfaction of a job well done.

Can we expect to meet other mascots for the various Wikimedia projects in the future?

I certainly hope so! Word has it that the Wikidata mascot is behind bars, but the Wikisource one is fresh and ready to dive right in! That said, the next one should be for Wiktionary—Wikipedia's first "little brother"! I can't wait for you to meet that friendly little tile!
