Question about your edits

[edit]

Hi! I saw that you made some editing on the page Undetectable.ai. There has been an important section that sockpuppets have been trying to remove. Wikipedia rules say that any edits by the sockpuppets can be reverted. I do not want to revert your edits, because you removed a lot of inappropriate information, but I also think this section is important. Let me know if it is possible to restore one section with sources and avoid removing your edits. Maybe for the purpose of protection the page, it would be good to consider a protection for the page, so the section is not removed again. Convictions for drugs and attempted murder are serious.

Here is a dispute about it - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard&oldid=1225020614#Summary_of_dispute_by_Comintell

Here is the comment made by editor who left it.

  • curprev 03:47, 9 April 2024 Sesame119 talk contribs  12,654 bytes +1,489  I created a controversies section, partially taken from an existing page on actor Devan Leos who is also the CMO of Undetectable AI using sources that were already approved for that page. I also added to this the criminal history of the founder and CEO Christian Perry and provided the court record as a source.

Here is the links to his cited version: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Undetectable.ai&oldid=1217994890

Here is the text that was removed:

Controversies

In 2016, Devan Leos, the CMO of Undetectable AI was attacked by an individual allegedly wielding a knife, and he attempted to defend himself by using his vehicle. Leos was then charged with attempted murder, however given the facts of the case, he was only sentenced to community service. On November 10th 2023, Devan Leos was accused by Radar Online of enabling students to cheat on their assignments, by helping operate the online platform Undetectable.ai, however in the article, Leos clarified that Undetectable.ai strictly prohibited such conduct.

CEO of Undetectable AI, Christian Perry was found guilty of Controlled Substance-Possession With Intent Manufacture or Deliver. This raises ethical and security concerns over key figures in the company. Mainecoon1111 (talk) 21:25, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mainecoon1111 reverting my edits would do no good because the content about Leos was not there when I made my edits and you certainly should not revert all the way back to 2024.
Even so, there's severe issues with that content. I am not going to list all them as there are many but off the top, it violates Wikipedia's strict WP:Biographies of living people (BLP) policy which covers any content about a living a person anywhere on Wikipedia, even here on this talk page, and the non-negotiable WP:Neutral point of view (NPOV) policy. Looking at the version you linked from back in 2024, the sources are either WP:BLPPRIMARY (court docs which are not allowed for BLPs) or otherwise poor (tabloids) and likely also violates WP:BLPCRIME. On top of that, even if sources were stronger, the content is likely WP:UNDUE. It comes across as a WP:COATRACK to include negative information about someone associated with Undetectable.ai that has had no real impact on the actual platform. Unless there are impeccable sources, such as multiple high-quality national news outlets or similar, that have written about how Leos' legal troubles have impacted Undetectable.ai, it absolutely should not be included. Period. S0091 (talk) 20:19, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. I was thinking myself that a revision of edits cannot work because that section is from some time ago. As to the tabloids, that does not mean that information is not reliable, as those cite the primary sources, which are the authorities, And the authorities are the main reliable source for crimes. There are endless reports for scam of this entity - https://www.bbb.org/us/wy/sheridan/profile/computer-software/undetectable-llc-0805-46148287/complaints and obviously fake 5 star reviews, to hide over 200 real testimonies about it being a scam. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/undetectable.ai. It is so funny to read. There are no reviews in between. Just 5 starts with nonsense that does not make sense and actual 1 star reviews with detailed explanation how people lost their money. Mainecoon1111 (talk) 21:36, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Mainecoon1111 what you are doing is WP:Original research (OR) which is not allowed here and again there are other issues. The TMZ article makes no mention of Undetectable so useless to use in article about Undetectable and the Radar article make no mention of his legal trouble (and based almost entirely on what he say so also an issue). You cannot use the two to make any statements connecting one to the other as that is your own personal analysis. The BBB, like court docs, is a primary source so not allowed nor is Trustpilot as it is user-generated. As I have stated what you need are high-quality BLP compliant WP:reliable sources that have written about Leos, his legal issues, how that has impacted Undetectable.ai and it needs to explicit and even then it might still violate WP:BLPCRIME and/or be deemed WP:UNDUE. If such sources do not exist, even a discussion about including the content is a waste of time. Really, you just need to move on. S0091 (talk) 22:16, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please run an eye over this

[edit]

Their conribtons record, especially once expanded, shows variable quality use of AFC/R. Your eyes on this would be informative. I'm either bamboozling myself or, well, not. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 19:24, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Timtrent, I am pretty sure I've looked at them before but nothing jumps out at me sock wise. Their location is consistent, no proxy use it seems, etc. This appears to be simply be an WP:AGF returning AFC/R customer. Surprising I know given all the abuse at AFCR. There's one that went for a long stretch requesting redirects regarding presidents of universities (i.e. List of University X presidents redirecting to the appropriate section in the main article). Are they making bad requests or anything like that? (Separate topic, you might be amused by this...now that's a sock for sure.) S0091 (talk) 20:27, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That separate topic is cute. I think it proves that you are now a true Wikipedian! I just get occasional abuse. You are the real deal!
With the main topic, I am often able to self bamboozle. Some of their requests appear to be to have disconnected redirect titles from the target article. Or it might be heavy dosage of codeine right now, which is why my activity level has dipped! I am not thinking sock so much as odd. No, not odd socks! 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 23:36, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 4

[edit]
Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on Feb 13. Please help translate.

Highlights
Let's Talk continues

  • Birthday mode: This limited-time campaign feature celebrates 25 years of Wikipedia with a birthday mascot, Baby Globe. When turned on, Baby Globe is shown on ~2,500 articles, waiting to be discovered by readers. The feature is available for all Wikipedias to customise through Community Configuration until 6 April 2026. So far 17 Wikipedias have joined in the fun.

  • Etherpad cleanup: For security and performance reasons, all current pads on Wikimedia’s Etherpad instance, the web-based "ephemeral" editor for real-time collaborative document editing, will be permanently deleted after 30 April. We will continue running this Etherpad instance to support events and other short-term collaboration, but will be periodically deleting data going forward. If you have content in Etherpad you want to keep, please create local backups, as data will be permanently deleted and will not be able to be recovered.
  • Activity tab: Wikipedia iOS app has rolled out the improved Activity tab to all users in version 7.9.0. A/B test results showed increased account creation among users with access to the feature. Updates include enhanced editing impact insights, module customization, and relocation of History into the Search tab.
  • Reference Check: The feature Reference Check has been deployed to all Wikipedias. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop (or acknowledge/explain why they did not) and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web.
  • Semantic search: The Foundation has launched a limited Android mobile app experiment that tests hybrid search capabilities which can handle both semantic and keyword queries. The Phase 1 beta is now live on Greek Wikipedia. The goal is to understand whether combining meaning-based retrieval with keyword search helps readers find information more effectively. Testing will expand to English, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias in March.
  • Navigation experience: The Foundation will run an experiment for mobile web users, that adds a table of contents and automatically expands all article sections, to learn more about navigation issues they face. The test will be available on Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.
Screenshot of the current prototype of Abstract Wikipedia, showing a two sentence article about Kolkata.
  • Site notices: Site notices (MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice) now will render on all platforms, not just on the desktop site. Users on mobile web will now see these notices and be informed.
  • Tech News: Latest updates from Tech News week 08 and 09 include the new “Edit full page” button for people who are editing a page-section using the mobile visual editor. They also link to the 40 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.
  • Wikifunctions: Abstract Wikipedia is going to have its public preview within the next few weeks, here is the preview.

    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?

  • Experiments: The Foundation is frequently conducting experiments to help learn what features will be most effective and valuable to the projects. The list of experiments in Product and Technology, tracks upcoming, live, in-analysis, and completed experiments as well as their rationale. For example, the tracker shares that one upcoming experiment, Reader to Contributor Baseline, will measure how many readers create contributor accounts and whether the rate differs depending on how people arrived to the site.
  • Article guidance: Help less experienced editors by filling out a questionnaire on this page (available in 7 languages). The Foundation are looking particularly for experienced Wikipedia editors from these pilot wikis. Your answers will help customize guidance for less experienced editors while creating an article.
  • Wikifunctions: You can now create Functions that will show a citation in their output.
  • Editing feature: Suggestion Mode is available as a beta feature within the visual editor at all Wikipedias. This feature proactively suggests various types of actions that people can consider taking to improve Wikipedia articles, and learn about related guidelines.
  • Paste Check: Paste Check is now available at all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers who are pasting text they are not likely to have written into VisualEditor to consider whether doing so risks a copyright violation.
  • Mobile experience: The user menu in the top corner for all mobile users is standardized so that it is closer to the desktop experience to improve the user interface for readers.
  • Two-factor authentication: For security reasons, members of certain user groups are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Currently, 2FA is required to use the group, but not to be a member of it. Given that this model still has some vulnerabilities, the situation will gradually change in March.
  • Tech News: Latest updates from Tech News week 10 and 11 include the new GraphQL API has been released as a flexible alternative to select features of the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS). They also link to the 50 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 6

[edit]
Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on March 13. Please help translate.
Editing on the mobile apps

Highlights

  • Supporting the mobile experience: The Foundation is starting conversations with communities to explore how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps. The goal is to understand how to better support both new and experienced editors, and how the app can guide users to the right editing tools. Your input is welcome. Join the discussion!
  • Wikimania 2026: Registration for Wikimania 2026 is opening soon from the end of March to May 1. Like other Wikimedia events this year, we are introducing a "request for invitation" process, with trust and safety checks conducted prior to confirming in-person attendance. Our priority is to create a safe environment for connection, collaboration, and shared learning.
  • Around the Puzzle Globe in the CEE region: On March 23 almost 60 Wikimedians took part in the CEE-Catch up- a meeting for Wikimedians from Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. As a part of continuous conversations we have with the communities around the Foundation's annual plan, participants discussed the global trends related to Readers and Contributors in their regional context. The meeting was also an opportunity to connect with the new Foundation CEO, Bernadette Meehan, who is meeting communities around the puzzle globe to listen, learn and engage with the communities.

  • Crawlers: The Foundation is now detecting and blocking billions of bot requests that don’t follow our robot policy, such as aggressive scrapers, to make sure our resources go towards serving human readers. In the coming months we’ll be working on better detection of rapidly changing bot behavior and better API infrastructure.
  • Moderator tools for newer editors: Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to an early version of Special:PersonalDashboard. It introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project.
  • Account creation on mobile: Mobile editors at several wikis are now presented with a simplified logged-out warning message, which encourages them to create an account or log in. This test is part of our ongoing effort to enhance the account creation experience on mobile and increase participation.
  • Verification email redesign: The verification email sent to new accounts that add an email address during signup has been redesigned. When tested on English Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata, the same-week email verification rate increased from 41.6% to 45.9%.
  • Retaining notification history: Wikimedia site users can export their notifications older than 5 years using a new Toolforge tool. This will ensure that users retain important notifications and avoid losing them based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years, as previously announced.
  • Tech News: Latest highlights from Tech News weeks 12 and 13 include the update that Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys as a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. See also the 64 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.
  • Experiments: Check out the list of experiments in Product and Technology to see all upcoming, live, in-analysis, and completed experiments. One new experiment that just went live is the "Improve the logged-out warning message on mobile web," which aims to reduce the sense of friction or alarm when users encounter the logged-out warning upon editing.

Design mock for mobile page previews.
  • Navigating articles on mobile: The Foundation is launching an experiment to test how to make it easier and more intuitive for readers to navigate through articles on mobile. To do this, we want to test Mobile Page Previews. This experiment will go live the week of April 20 and will run for four weeks.
  • Editing tools for new editors: Tone Check was deployed on French, Japanese, and Portuguese Wikipedia as a default-on feature for editors who have published 100 or fewer edits locally. When promotional or subjective language is added, users are prompted to consider "neutralizing" the tone of the edit.
  • Managing watchlist labels: The new watchlist labels feature is now available via VisualEditor, the source editor, and the "watchstar" (or watch link, for skins that don’t have a star icon). Previously it was only possible to assign labels via EditWatchlist.
  • Latest experiments: See all upcoming, live, in-analysis, and completed experiments in Product & Technology. A new experiment that just went live is one which aims to establish a baseline retention rate for logged-in readers.
  • Latest Wikifunctions: Check out the partial list of the 102 new functions created last week – likely the first week we have exceeded 100.
  • Tech News: The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 14 and 15 include an ongoing A/B test running on 10 Wikipedias to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. See also the 68 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.
  • Community discussions on Semantic Search: The Wikimedia Foundation, in collaboration with the CEE Hub, hosted a discussion session on Semantic Search for members of the CEE Youth Group.

  • Don't Blink!: This month's highlights from the Global Advocacy team include how the Wikimedia Foundation co-presented alongside the Internet Archive at the State of the Net conference.
  • Digital rights and inclusion: Take a look at the sessions that Wikimedians and allied partners will lead during Digital Rights and Inclusion Forum (DRIF) 2026.
  • Manuscript preservation: The Wikimedia Foundation supported volunteer-lead workshops to write Balinese Wikipedia articles about palm-leaf manuscripts (lontar) from the Leiden University Library collection.
  • Youth content creators: Wikimedia Indonesia, together with the Wikimedia Foundation, delivered an introductory session on Wikipedia for young content creators representing all 11 ASEAN member states.
  • Legal and Safety Contacts: The Wikimedia Foundation has created a single "Legal and Safety Contacts" page, to be linked in the footer of each wiki page. This will ensure that everyone has access to accurate and up to date Legal contact information. Insertion of the new links on different wikis will be done in stages, based on assessment of legal risk and necessity.
  • Building shared principals for the internet as a public good: The Global Advocacy team published a blog with the Center for Studies on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information (CELE) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) summarizing a workshop that brought together digital rights advocates from Latin America to dream of a "digital utopia."

Figured it out

[edit]

So it has to be a proven source of the Deceased individual and it has to be verified? May you help explain that to me? I would like to know how information gets verified. ButteyFelicity (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me?

[edit]

@Soo91 The topic of Good and Babbitt was closed and the person made it seem I was calling her death a happy end. In reality I was saying that the administration had demonized her by calling her a domestic terrorist (which isn’t true) and I was saying that the public rallied against it by remembering her and her values. Hence why Happy End because there was a happy end with people remembering her and showing her humanity. ButteyFelicity (talk) 20:48, 16 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you carefully read WP:AGF which I believe you have violated on more than one recent occasion. Also, avoid citing the likes of OR, NPOV, CIV to experienced editors as they rarely engage in such. Your experience here is a tiny fraction of those with whom you are debating, and in highly contentious topics. That doesn't, in itself, mean you are incorrect. Spend more time listening to what they say instead of quickly reacting. We all started with no experience. Although most of us started in noncontentious articles. But we still had to grow into a full understanding of the sometimes esoteric policies and guidelines. And we had to learn to assume good faith by those with whom we disagree. The most common advice to new editors is to begin with non-contentious articles. O3000, Ret. (talk) 23:59, 16 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@ButteyFelicity if you want show or discuss someone's humanity or a happy end, do so on your own website or some other forum. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which simply summarizes what reliable sources state in a neutral manner. What an editor thinks, feels, etc. about a topic does not matter and such discussions have no place here. S0091 (talk) 16:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thats not what I was discussing about. I was making a statement on how the deaths of Babbitt and Good were being compared and demonized to the media and how Good and Babbitt got overwhelming support in the end.
I may point out there is an error on Goods page. Someone put: “Good began to drive forward while turning the steering wheel to the right and away from Ross, the correct direction of traffic on the one-way street.”   calling it the "correct" direction, the writer is taking a side or making a judgment call. Using the word "correct" is an editorial judgment. It frames the driver's actions as legally compliant or "right," which is a central point of contention in the legal and public debate surrounding this case.
  • If the video analysis (like those cited by The New York Times) specifically concludes the wheel was turned away, the sentence is fine.
  • However, if the editor is looking at the video and deciding for themselves that she was turning away, that is Original Research. On Wikipedia, you cannot describe what you see in a video; you can only describe what reliable secondary sources say they see in the video.
ButteyFelicity (talk) 16:24, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Citation 61 is actually a link to four cites. The article text agrees with the cites. This kind of discussion belongs on the article TP. O3000, Ret. (talk) 17:17, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 02:26, 25 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 8

[edit]
Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on April 10. Please help translate.

Highlights

  • Annual Planning: The Wikimedia Foundation published the draft Annual Plan for the coming fiscal year (2026–2027) which will focus on four main goals that directly respond to the external trends. The goals include increasing our reach, deepening engagement, protecting our projects and building speed and resilience to enable the change needed to respond to the internet being at an inflection point. Feedback welcome on the talk page and many other places.
  • Global conversation: A global conversation about the Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan will take place on May 7 at 5:00 PM UTC.
  • Sustainable reuse of Wikimedia content: The Attribution API is now in beta. It makes it easier to credit Wikimedia content fairly wherever it is used. It provides all information required by the Wikimedia Attribution Framework in a single, well-structured and easy-to-use endpoint, simplifying attribution for off-wiki reuse. Share your feedback on the project talk page.

  • Feedback on Article guidance: Experienced editors are invited to test the Article guidance feature. This tool helps less-experienced editors create structured, policy-compliant Wikipedia articles. Review the outlines and share your feedback on the project talk page. Check out the step-by-step and video instructions.
  • Games Hub available on Android: The Games Hub is live in the Wikipedia app for Android. This new feature offers a space for users to find all available games in one place, explore archives, and get updates on new games. It currently includes Which Came First?, with more games coming soon.
  • Update to Wikipedia app for iOS: A major update to the Wikipedia app for iOS has rolled out, redesigning the interface to align with Apple’s latest “Liquid Glass” visual design. Download the latest version and explore the update.
  • Confirming email addresses: On several wikis, logged-in editors who haven’t confirmed their email addresses now see a banner encouraging them to do so. Confirming the email address helps users restore account access if they lose it and receive messages about their accounts. It also provides an easy option to communicate with other users off-wiki if they choose. As of early 2026, about 62.9% of all registered Wikimedia user accounts that have an email set had not confirmed it.
  • Testing mobile web page previews: Mobile page previews experiment was launched on Arabic, English, French, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. Page previews are pop-ups that show a thumbnail, a lead paragraph, and a link to the full article to improve content discovery. It is already available on desktop and in the apps.
  • Account creation experiment: Account creation experiment is live on Hindi, Indonesian, Bengali, Thai, and Hebrew Wikipedia targeting 10% of logged-out mobile web users. It looks at whether adding a button to create accounts in the mobile web header boosts new registrations and increases mobile users contributing to the wikis.
  • Experimenting with Hybrid Search on mobile apps: The Hybrid Search Phase 1 experiment on the Wikipedia Android app has concluded. It tested a combined keyword and meaning-based search methods to meet various information needs. The team is analyzing data and feedback, and will share insights and next steps soon.

  • Latest experiments: See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology. One upcoming experiment is testing a refreshed Explore Feed to make it easier for readers to discover interesting content and visit Wikipedia app more often.
  • Wikifunctions: Wikifunctions crossed 4,000 functions, with subtracting two complex numbers as the 4,000th function. Also, Abstract Wikipedia reached 1,000 articles. The article about the famous Indian Brahmin Chanakya marked this milestone.
  • Reading lists now a beta feature: New accounts are now opted into Reading lists by default on all Wikipedia wikis. This brings the "Save pages" feature to the web, which has been popular in mobile apps. For users in the beta, a "Save page" (bookmark) button appears in the toolbar on every page. The watch/unwatch (star) option moves to the tools menu. The "Watchlist" button in the top navigation shifts to the user menu. A new "Saved pages" button takes its place. In June, the feature will be available to all users and a user preference will be added to choose between two sets of buttons: Watch + Watchlist or Save + Saved list. The other set will be in the tool and user menus.
  • Structured Contents: Article Images and Lists now in Structured Contents payloads.
  • Tech News: The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 16 and 17 include CodeMirror 6 being promoted out of beta on Tuesday, April 21. See also the 45 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

[edit]
Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on April 25. Please help translate.

Highlights

  • Community Protection: Wikimedia Foundation secured Indonesian government’s commitment to user safety, privacy, and content integrity ahead of administrative registration in Indonesia.
  • Stronger protections against bots: Wikimedia Foundation is replacing our CAPTCHA with a new approach to detect bad-faith activities without making things harder for users.
  • Transparency Report: The Wikimedia Foundation has published its latest Transparency Report. This provides an overview of the work to protect Wikimedia projects and support the volunteer communities who handle the majority of content requests. Our users trust us to protect their identities against unlawful disclosure, and we take this responsibility seriously, granting only 1 of 30 requests for disclosure we received from July to December 2025.

Mock-up of the Wikipedia app reading challenge.
  • Reading Challenge: As part of the 25th birthday celebrations, Wikipedia Mobile Apps launched a limited-time feature, the 25-day reading challenge with Baby Globe. This challenge encourages a daily habit of reading one Wikipedia article. The goal is to motivate users to come back to the app regularly.
  • Latest experiments: One upcoming experiment is introducing the Incident Reporting System (IRS) to help contributors easily find the right place to seek help when facing harassment or other issues. See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology.
  • Change in how new users are autoconfirmed: The account age for autoconfirmed users will now start from their first edit, not the registration date. This is to avoid exploitation by vandals. This change will only apply to wikis that require at least one edit for autoconfirmation.
  • Organized Reading lists: All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the “automatically enable most beta features” option can now use the reading lists beta feature. This lets you save articles for later reading and keep it organized in one place for easy access.
  • Thumbnail size preferences: Default thumbnail size preference for article content is now limited to three sizes: Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px). This change aims to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. Current preferences will shift to the nearest new size.
  • Wikifunctions: To make the development of Abstract Wikipedia visible, the Foundation is requesting your input: which metrics about Abstract Wikipedia pages do you deem important?
  • Tech News: The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 18 and 19 include improvements on Global Watchlist. See also the 62 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.
