When Dumisani Ndubane first joined Wikipedia, his home language of Xitsonga had only 10 articles. Today, as a @WikimediaZA board member, he’s written nearly 50% of them.

Behind every great Wikipedia article is a powerful image, video, or audio clip making that knowledge come alive. And they all have one home: Wikimedia Commons! 📸✨

Knowledge sharing is a marathon, not a sprint. 🏃♂️💨 This Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to remind our community of contributors that your well-being is just as important as the articles you write. Take a break, breathe, and remember: you can’t pour from an empty cup.🤍
