Academic paper in preparation
This is the twenty-first monthly report of the ongoing work to improve the representation of the UNESCO Memory of the World international register on Wikimedia projects. This is supported and fully funded by the Khalili Foundation, with the involvement of UNESCO and Wikimedia UK.
This month I revised my draft paper about the Memory of the World International Register data set, in response to requests from the journal editor. That draft, which can't be shared until it is published, now stands at 4,500 words.
New this month
I run a monthly check on new articles relating to the Memory of the World International Register created by Wikipedia volunteers. The tools I use to scan the hundreds of wiki platforms are not perfect and so this list is not guaranteed to be complete.
There is a new article on the Terengganu Inscription Stone in Kadazandusun Wikipedia, created by translation from Malay.
View statistics
The Massviews tool reports 3,557,411 views of pages on English Wikipedia that link to the Memory of the World International Register, and 130,159 views on French Wikipedia pages. Many of the links from French Wikipedia are to pages in English on the Memory of the World site, despite the fact that French alternatives are available.
The Commons Analytics tool reports 164,106,362 views in July for images related to the MoW International Register. Due to imperfect tagging, this should be regarded as approximate.
