Mastodon Play ‘Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?’ – Loudwire

Did you miss the members of Mastodon playWikipedia: Fact or Fiction?

Don't fret. We've had a ton of rockers on the series over the years, so it can be hard to keep track of what episodes we have, especially if you're a recent reader and subscriber. So we've been making compilation episodes, organizing them either by artist or by genre, so that fans can see all of their favorites in one video.

GuitaristBill Kelliher and bassist Troy Sanders both participated in our video series at different points, so we combined clips from each of their episodes into one video, which you can check out below.

"What is this, is this someone's thought or opinion?" Sanders asked during the video. "It's written, so it must be true."

You'll hear about the basics, such as the members' upbringings, how they formed Mastodon and so on, but also some fun facts like how they ended up being invited to appear inGame of Thrones.

Wolff contacted Verstappen to explain Wikipedia statement – GPblog

Toto Wolff has contacted Max Verstappen to explain his much-discussed Wikipedia statements. The Mercedes team boss stressed that his comment belongs in a certain context and that he does respect such records.

When Verstappen took his tenth Formula 1 victory in a row at the Italian Grand Prix, he broke the record, which until then was held by Sebastian Vettel. The Mercedes team boss caused a stir by stating that records did not interest him that much and that they were "only interesting for Wikipedia, which nobody reads anyway".

Wolff soon realised that he might not have been better off making that statement, as he was frequently asked about it two weeks later in Singapore. Even then, the 51-year-old Austrian acknowledged that he has made more intelligent statements before, but now he also reveals that he contacted the three-time world champion that same weekend.

"I sent Max a message to explain and he was OK with it," Wolff said in conversation with De Telegraaf. "If you don't know the context, it seems like I don't recognise such a great record. But the point was that Niki Lauda used to always laugh at records with us. He called it a relic of the past and always looked forward. That's the story behind it, but it wasn't the most intelligent thing I ever said."

George Washington Masonic Memorial at Night (photo via Daniel Horowitz)

A nighttime photo of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Old Town took fifth place in the Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 photo contest.

The annual contest, held by Wikipedia, highlights photographs of historic sites from the National Register of Historic Places.

Photographer Daniel Horowitz, who specializes in nighttime and long-exposure photography, took sixth place in the competition last year with a photo of a British fortress on Lake Champlain. Horowitzs photo of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial won fifth place in the 2023 competition.

According to Wikimedia:

This night-time photograph showcases the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia. The memorial, a National Historic Landmark, stands as a modern tribute to the architecture of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Captured in a long-exposure shot, the moving clouds create a dynamic backdrop to the illuminated structure, emphasizing its grandeur and its importance as a Masonic site and historical edifice.
