After the event, we sent everyone home with instructions on uploading their photos to Wikimedia Commons. These Girl Scouts will make real contributions on one of the most-visited websites in the world!

The Take 9 "Count Before You Click" launch party was so fun! This campaign is very dear to me since I grew up with Sesame Street. Now Count Von Count is helping Take 9 to encourage people to practice good online security by pausing for 9 seconds before you click @craignewmark

Wiki Loves Pride is organized by Wikimedia LGBT and runs across Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata. This year there are events in Cardiff, Paris, Bogotá, Madrid, Lagos, and more — and NYC is on the map too.

@Wikipedia is where facts go to live. A network of editors provides an immune system that's the best that that people can do.
