More recordings to be uploaded, WikiProject formed

This week, Raul654 received permission to upload Musopen's entire collection of freely-licensed full-length recordings of various classical pieces. In all, 137 pieces were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. In order to encourage the release of more freely-licensed works, WikiProject Free music has been formed.

Briefly

• On a humorous note, a student found to be vandalizing Wikipedia while in school was, as part of his punishment, made to type an apology to Wikipedians and the school technology department on a Royal Typewriter, because he had been banned from using school computers; the apology was scanned and uploaded to Wikipedia.
• The Catalan Wikipedia has reached 100,000 articles.
• The Dutch Wikipedia has reached 400,000 articles.
• The Persian Wikiquote has reached 500 articles.

The letter of apology

Unfortunately, the image was deleted. Can we get a transcription instead? Or should we just delink the image and forget we ever had it? --kingboyk (talk) 18:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
