“Wikimedia’s volunteers are the ones who come in first contact with, and clean up the mess left behind by AI agents. ... Wikimedia’s volunteers have stayed resilient so far in tackling emerging challenges on our platforms, but we also want to say: it doesn’t need to be this way.” https://diff.wikimedia.org/2026/10/05/openai-rogue-agent-activities-found-on-wikimedia-projects/ #Wikimedia #OpenAI

“While OpenAI admits to agents behaving ‘unpredictably’, they must also acknowledge their responsibility to monitor and prevent these risks,” Wikimedia said. “AI companies are not doing enough to secure their systems and protect the public from the harm they cause.” https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/10/openai-agents-tried-to-hack-wikipedia-tools-and-flooded-it-with-traffic/ #Wikimedia #OpenAi

Staffers at the #Wikimedia Foundation "voted 158-14 to join the Communications Workers of America labor union. The US National Labor Relations Board..." Wikimedia employees say "they will now have a mechanism to challenge management as the organization faces growing competition from AI chatbots and a drop in volunteer editors." "Concerns about pay and benefits were not major motivators for the #union drive..." #OrganizedLabor #unionization #LaborUnion #Wikipedia -- https://www.wired.com/story/wikipedia-workers-vote-on-whether-to-unionize/

1,280 #Wikimedia volunteers have pledged willingness to go on strike in solidarity with #WikiWorkersUnited https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Workers_United_solidarity making us less than 100 signatures from being the most supported proposal or petition in the history of the English-language #Wikipedia. I never expected the level of support this would get, but I also never expected that the main driver of that support would be the #WikimediaFoundation managing to do the exact wrong thing at every possible turn.

The thing that really gets me with the Wikimedia Foundation's response to their staff wanting a union: Imagine you're charged with running the world's biggest free knowledge resource, which is only possible because of an army of nerds who love nothing more than fact-checking. And then decide to bullshit that very crowd of people. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Workers_United/Claims_and_responses #wwu #wikipedia #wikimedia

RE: https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/@beep/117032894076902807 I just emailed the Wikimedia foundation and told them that I can't make a donation until @wwu@social.wikiworkersunited.org has a good deal. Here's their contact page if you want to do the same. https://wikimediafoundation.org/contact/ #TechUnions #unions #WikiMedia

The Wikimedia Foundation hasn’t just refused to recognize their workers’ unions; they’ve also hired one of the most notorious union-busting firms out there. https://medium.com/regarding-wikipedia/the-wikimedia-foundation-hired-the-union-busters-its-own-encyclopedia-warned-about-42b7142a5cd1 #1u #unions #TechUnions

Email sent to donate@wikimedia.org: I have previously donated to Wikimedia, and hereby state that all future donations are on hold until Wikimedia voluntarily recognizes labour unions in all countries where the foundation operates. I will also use whatever influence I have to further this opinion. This is not a threat, but a simple fact. Don't drag your feet behind you, please. Do the right thing. Sincerely (name) #Wikipedia #Wikimedia #unions

Wikimedia Will Not Voluntarily Recognize Union a Supermajority of Its Workers Want

The Wikimedia Foundation waited until immediately after its largest annual conference to say it wouldn't voluntarily recognize its workers' union.

18 years. Proud Wikimedian. Sharing a snapshot of my on-wiki and off-wiki contributions to the knowledge commons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rohini https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rohini/Wiki_things On another note, some of you have figured that I haven't attended in-person events in the past few years. Requesting kindred spirits to keep directly in touch. #Wikipedia #Openness #KnowledgeCommons #OpenKnowledge #PolyglotDiaries #Wikiversary #Wikimedia

Merci à toute la communauté pour cette édition inoubliable de Wikimania Paris ! Près de 3250 personnes ont participé à la conférence, 1250 en présentiel et près de 2000 en ligne. Et pour un tiers d'entre elles, il s'agissait de leur première Wikimania ! Ensemble, les participants cumulent plus de 150 millions de contributions sur les projets #Wikimedia ! Soyons fier(e)s d'avoir fait rayonner les couleurs de la connaissance libre à Paris et de faire partie de cette belle communauté mondiale.
