I like quotes. And even more Quotes from the day - Wikipedia. In fact, I have the home page of my browser configured to show me the link to the Wikiquote. It is a sample of knowledge that we should not lose and that I would like to share every day with the whole world. There is also something curious, knowledge is not global, every local version of Wikiquote shows quotes adapted to their culture so we will see the differences between them.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Me gustan las citas. Y aun más La cita del día en la Wikipedia. De hecho, tengo la pagina de inicio de mi navegador configurada para que me muestre el enlace a la Wikiquote. Es una muestra de conocimiento que no debemos perder y que me gustaría compartir todos los días con todo el mundo. También hay algo curioso, el conocimiento no es mundial, cada versión local de Wikiquote muestra citas adaptadas a su cultura así que veremos que diferencias hay.
No permitas que la vida te pase a ti sin que la vivas.

Wikipedia Announces Their Most Viewed Articles Of 2016 (wikipedia.org) 65
Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday January 01, 2017 @10:34PM from the view-history dept.
Slashdot reader westand writes, "Wikipedia's 5000 most-visited articles of 2016 have been released, and Donald Trump leads the pack." (Though the site's second-most popular article was about a porn site.)
The top 5000 pages account for 21.6 billion views, with 42% of those being mobile traffic... After artificial traffic is discounted, election and celebrity deaths feature prominently.
Wikipedia's article about the U.S. presidential election of 2016 also came in at #11, while their articles about Melania Trump and Hillary Clinton came in at #16 and #19, respectively. Other top-20 articles covered deaths in 2016, as well as "Prince (musician)" and David Bowie, with four more articles that covered 2016 superhero movies also reaching the top 20. (Along with "List of Bollywood films of 2016".) The eighth most-popular article was about web scraping, while Wikipedia's 404.php page was actually more popular than any article on the site.
The original submission also points out that 323 million views were covered by The Wikipedia Zero project, in which mobile operators in the Global South ""'zero-rate' access to Wikimedia sites in their billing system, so their subscribers will not incur data charges while accessing Wikipedia and the sister projects on the mobile web or apps." And Wikipedia adds that their list is generated by Andrew G. West, a senior research scientist at Verisign Labs who "is particularly interested in academic collaboration regarding this English Wikipedia dataset."
THATS EXACTLY like I was saying! Allow developing world people access to wikipedia for free! Incorporate a crypto currency like grid coin or folding coin or library credits or just bitcoin wallets in the wikipedia account, so poorest of the poor can receive free crypto currency access and not get billed for it!
