@ema Great! The doc just came through. Looking forward to reading and editing this!

@ema Overall, the post is well-written and interesting! I made some minor grammar suggestions. Can you accept / reject them, and I'll move this over to the blog to prepare for publishing?

Do you happen to have an image in mind for this post? Here is more info about images in posts: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_technical_blog_editorial_guidelines#Images_used_in_your_post

If you don't have one in mind, I can pick one for you.

Done, thank you! I changed the contents a bit today, if you could give it another read that would be great.

Nope!

Yes, please.

It looks good to me! I am copying it over to the blog for publication next week. (Tuesday 13 Oct)

@ema are you the sole author would you like additional authors added?

@ema For the main image, I went with the earth from space: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:North_America_from_low_orbiting_satellite_Suomi_NPP.jpg

I credited all of the images in the post to you as your own work, which will be under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license unless otherwise stated. Let me know if you want to change any of this.

I will hold publishing until I hear back from you. :-)

With the exception of the first image, which is https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:ClusterMap and was made available by @Krinkle under CC BY-SA 3.0, the rest is my own work and I'm OK with CC BY-SA 4.0.

Let's publish! :)

@ema This has been published! https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2020/10/14/wikimedias-cdn/

Can you take a quick look and let me know if everything looks good? If so, I'll send out announcements!

"Own work" is not a person or a license, seen in captions. Should be replaced with eg "attribution/license", or omitted, I think?

Yeah, I agree. Other than that, the rest looks good @srodlund, thanks!

@Krinkle and @ema I put "own work" to indicate that @ema who is the author is also the creator of the images, and have done so with past blog posts where the author is also the creator. I can remove this for this post or add @ema as the attribution.

There is a statement on the footer of the blog that all content is under a CC BY-SA 4.0 unless otherwise stated.

For featured images, I usually add the license regardless of if it is CC By-SA 4.0 or not, but if it is an image in the body of the work, created by the author, and under the blanket CC BY-SA 4.0, I don't necessarilly add it every single time. The blanket license should cover this. If you feel this is not explicit enough, I can start adding it to all images going forward.

@srodlund: the first picture, "Data centers", is wrongly attributed to me. It's Timo Tijhof's work, and the caption should reflect that.

Thanks for the great post :-)

Thank you so much!

Fixed :-)
