Skimmed the "cabbage rolls" #Wikipedia article upon seeing the recent @jeffreyw's toot on those, and it mentioned "Golubtsy (little pigeons)" as the #Russian variation. Yet the Wiktionary entry for "голубец" does not contain #etymology for that meaning. If it actually comes from another common and similar word, I would guess it is rather from the word for light blue color ("голубой"), with which "голубь" (pigeon) shares a common ancestor word (Proto-Slavik "*golǫbь", according to their Wiktionary entries). Even though they are not that blue, but they do not look like pigeons to me, either.
The article also mentioned "Balandėliai (little pigeons)" for #Lithuanian, and apparently "balandis" indeed stands for a pigeon (or dove, or April) in Lithuanian. But then the article on its #Polish variation, "Gołąbki", has a section on etymology, which includes both that version and that it may be folk etymology, while the word is originally borrowed. One may call that article a little more polished, or come up with a better pun.
I removed those "(little pigeons)" mentions, since they do not add much, but are dubious. Now I am curious what the actual etymology is, but since linguists and etymologists looked into it and did not reach a consensus, probably it will remain a mystery. A good thing about etymology is that it rarely matters.

@WahbAllat I love to compare the Zionist Wikipedia (under control of right wing activists in the last 10 years or so) entries in Hebrew, with various other languages. The #Hebrew #Wikipedia states the “reason for depopulation” of most Palestinian villages as “abandonment”, never military assault, or massacre, which were commonly performed by militia forces. They actually have custom metadata fields ready for “reason” and “date” of “abandonment” of any #Palestinian village. Epistemic violence on the Wikipedia is almost a standard these days.
ooooooh!
today’s #Wikipedia feature article is the Battle Of Poitiers.
if you were a history major and +50 like me, “Battle Of Poitiers” may mean 4 different things.
one major effect Wikipedia has had with European history, is that it has cleaned up English names for continental events. so instead of 4 battles of Poitiers, there’s now one.
am obsessed with the 732 battle, now of Tours.
the chronicles have the first known use of the word EUROPEAN.

Question for Wikipedia editors / Wikipedians - does anyone have a link to a set of slides that can be used to give a presentation about the basics of #Wikipedia ? I want to give a presentation locally (about 45 mins) about the Wikipedia five pillars, basics of editing, how to get started, etc.
I feel like I saw a reference to some presentations that could be used in training / education about Wikipedia … but my search foo is not working this morning and I can’t find any.
Project #cybersyn on #wikipedia has an image from the original operation room from the 70ies. The prompts in the background are quite interesting:
"join us now and share the software. you'll be free hacker"

Just had the loveliest meeting with the #Wellington #wikipedia editing group. We meet once a month at the National Library building. Everyone is learning by doing, contributing to improving access to knowledge. Such a great community! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Wellington
Someone challenged me to make the #Torchon page better in #Wikipedia, so I started to work on it today.
Still needs work, but it's no longer in the mid #19thCentury anymore. Now with color! Current projects! Modern art!
🧶 En me documentant pour #Wikipédia, j'ai lu un exposé que Charles Keeling, océanographe, a donné en avril 1969 — il y a 54 ans.
Il y aborde la possibilité que les émissions de CO2 dues à l'usage croissant des combustibles fossiles changent le #climat et l'environnement.
