Annie Rauwerda
I run social media accounts called "Depths of Wikipedia" and I have regularly performed Wikipedia-focused comedy shows for two years. I've written about Wikipedia in the press and am working on a book about English Wikipedia's interesting articles and contributors.
Session
Wikipedia is funny! Have a look and a laugh at more unusual articles, oddball contributors, and quirky disputes on Wikimedia projects, particularly English Wikipedia. For the past five years, Annie Rauwerda (Depths of Wikipedia) has shared interesting and lighthearted corners of Wikipedia to millions of followers across several social media platforms, along the way getting a sense of which communications about Wikimedia actually work. Wikimedia huge and decidedly human, and the things that make it delightful are the same things that make it increasingly valuable amid AI slop. Learn which behind-the-scenes stories resonate consistently with non-contributors and hear tips on how to explain the project to the public in a way that makes people listen.
