I'd like to discuss this matter at Wikimedia Commons or English Wikipedia. However, after re-reading thediscussion made a few/several years ago, as I learned, this issue has been persistent in not only English Wikipedia but also Wikimedia Commons. Is the Wikimedia Foundation responsible for these projects? How can this participation matter be resolved or something?George Ho (talk)06:38, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
I don't know about files on English Wikipedia, but regarding Commons, I think it's largely because Commons has much more individual contents, many of which are semi-automatically uploaded. It's natural that there is less attention given per content. There are 129 million files on Commons vs 7 million content pages on English Wikipedia.whym (talk)11:40, 15 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I am seeking help locating or accessing the June 2023 English Wikipedia pages-articles dump ('enwiki-20230601-pages-articles.xml.bz2'). The official dumps.wikimedia.org site does not appear to have the directory for this specific dump, and I have not found alternative mirrors hosting this file. Could anyone provide guidance, a direct link to the file, or advice on how to obtain historical Wikipedia dumps for research purposes? Thank you!~2025-31863-54 (talk)11:27, 7 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

The Kikuyu wiki has no human administrators. How do we go about appointing one or more humans in that role? If this question should be asked elsewhere, please tell me where to go.ChriKo (talk)14:48, 24 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
