How did this happen?

Encouraged by @nacly I created a Wikimedia account and uploaded the photo here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil

@_elena @nclm Glad to see @nclm beat me to it! 😆 I just added a caption translation and extra info to the "Structured data" tab of the #Wikimedia photo so it can be (hopefully) more discoverable:

BTW @_elena if you want, you could include links to your Fediverse profiles, website, etc. to your Wikimedia account page!

Really happy to see the #Fediverse and Wikimedia-verse #multiverse coming together. 😅
