I am thinking ‘what I learned from Wikimedia today’ might be a theme for #blogjune 2014.

Day 1 is spent packing for a rest of June voyage. The wiki that is top of mind is WikiVoyage – a relatively new addition to the Wikimedia family. Not one I have had much need of up till now. A good way to evaluate the quality of a travel service is to check out what it says about a place you already know well. So how is the Australian content on WikiVoyage?

multicultural and sports-mad, this vibrant city includes many cultural institutions…

Seems close enough to Melbourne to me. The main Melbourne article currently has a ‘districting debate‘ underway which those more Melburnian than me might like to talk to.

The food and public transport information seems pretty reliable, although I did have to add the tip about the tramTRACKER app which was the first thing I learned from my Melbourne mentor.

BTW I really don’t like editing wiki on the tablet. But perhaps I’ll learn to love it more after a month of no laptop.
