The WPWP in the PH, extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported the successful implementation of the 2025 Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Philippines campaign.

Through the collective efforts of its dedicated members and volunteers, PhilWiki Community was recognized with the Best Organized Community Campaign award, along with a special citation to Roderick Sumalinog, for contributing quality and well-captioned photographs that significantly improved Wikipedia articles. These contributions helped address photo gaps across various entries, enhancing content clarity, visual engagement, and overall accessibility for readers worldwide.

The recognition from the WPWP Campaign affirms the community’s commitment to advancing free knowledge through responsible digital documentation and meaningful participation in Wikimedia initiatives.

PhilWiki Community expresses its sincere appreciation to the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) team and PhilWiki Community for this recognition and for continuing to empower local communities to contribute to the global knowledge ecosystem.

With renewed enthusiasm, the community looks forward to participating once again in the 2026 WPWP PH Campaign this coming July.

This conference brought together participants from different Wiki Loves photography contests, photography enthusiasts, and heritage advocates, intending to strengthen collaboration and better understand the issues faced among the contributors, and to look for solutions.

Happy 13th birthday, Wikidata!

Facts do not live in isolation; they form a web of connections that shape understanding. Thirteen years ago, Wikidata was created to store and link facts across Wikipedia and its sister projects.

This free, open-knowledge base acts as central storage for structured data, allowing infoboxes to update automatically and enabling complex queries – from finding all physicists born in a certain era to listing countries by population. Information in Wikidata is machine‑readable, freely licensed, and interlinked with other open datasets, supporting research, apps, and AI.

Volunteers curate this data, merging duplicates, adding references, and connecting content across the various Wikimedia projects. As Wikidata turns 13, we celebrate the editors and developers who maintain it and invite others to explore its query tools, contribute new items, and help build a richer network of knowledge.

Transparency makes Wikipedia one of the most trusted sources of information on the internet.

A rare but necessary currency online, transparency is built into Wikipedia in many ways – from History tabs tracking every edit to Talk pages revealing editors’ discussions.

Transparency doesn’t guarantee perfection, but it allows everyone to see how information is created, questioned, and improved. Research shows that the more people debate a Wikipedia article, the more accurate and reliable it becomes.
