Nice to see good news like this.

  That's a good point. This is good news. Why don't people celebrate good news?

    Because it is neutral news. Wikimedia has way more money than they can burn any time soon, and money has diminishing returns.

      at this point in time in the dumpster fire, neutral should be celebrated!

        I don't understand this sort of pessimism. If a news is good, we should say good. If a news is bad, we should say bad. If it's neither, then we should state it's neither. What makes you think we live in an especially bad time frame?
        • jimjimjim 8y ago
          the assault on truth, misinformation and disinformation. the rise of authoritarianism. the polarization of poltics. climate change denial. jerks getting outraged when people suggest not being a jerk. rage-baiting for clicks.

            How is this random potpourri of global problems supposed to prove your point? Do we have any data we have more problems now than before? According to what basis? Even if this is true, what change does this make, why does this imply we should start praising neutral news just because it's not bad.

              a potpourri it may be but it is a response to your question about why I think this is an especially bad time frame. I see no reason not to consider them relevant and I also see them as being indicators that things could be a lot better. Based on this my original comment was a desire to try to increase positivity.
