Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2022 is supposed to be ongoing right now. And right now most of the content being written about Ukraine and most of the images and videos being uploaded concern how missiles are being launched, homes are being destroyed, and people are dying. Awful. I was skeptical about the nature of the diplomacy month last year, but my worries about the Ukrainian government influencing the process pales in comparison to Russia invading a sovereign country without reason. Fuck Putin, best of luck to our Ukrainian community members. -Indy beetle (talk) 20:43, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of editors wanted to put in more about the diplomacy editing initiative. I figure that Ukrainians have other priorities right now, but finally relented at the Serendipity article. I've been surprised that we haven't seen anything about this article so far. Smallbones(smalltalk)20:54, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Worth noting the statement by the organizational team, clarifying that "The fact that [the CentralNotice banner] appeared to be the start of active invasion is cruel coincidence", with the chapter's project manager promising that "I, personally, will continue supporting this contest till the end".

Not to be that guy, but... incivility? In my Wikipedia? Get it outta here! On a more serious note, remember to smile, everyone. Even though times look like they're bad (which, yeah, they kinda are), it's gonna get better. If it doesn't, I claim full responsibility for jinxing the future.
