>but know that they were genuinely trying to shape their country into what they thought was best. But _were_ they? (That's rhetorical, they were not.)

Which is also against the rules and undermines the systems in place to make the encyclopedia more reliable.

[[citation needed]] :p

Wikipedia relies on reliable secondary sources to write an article. If the majority of sources were to claim X came from Y, then yes, but without that, we can't state it as fact.

Representation matters. Many people are not represented in the worlds knowledge, much less the creation of it.

I think this is the article they are referring to. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/06/04/apple-remote-wo...

At some point the message has to change. It has to become something a little more like: Look, so far we've done this which you thought was cool. Now we want to do X, Y and Z. Will …

True, but would you agree that the number of editors who take umbrage with the wording is a small minority of the tens of thousands who edit and thousands (hundreds?) who are aware…

I wrote up a whole page about my workspace. https://clkoerner.com/tiny-studio/

I'm on the opposite end of experience than you and find a drone is often unpredictable in its flight. I just got a small (DJI Mini 2) drone in March and have been learning and flyi…

There’s an SLA involved in this service. Business people like SLAs. :)

The Foundation has already considered this. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Enterprise/FAQ#How...

Most markets? That’s a very privileged view. Research by the WMF in 2019 shows incredibly low rates of awareness in large parts of the world. I doubly you will read it, nor to I se…

None. They don't need to know that. The feature is on by default without logging-in.

>And the post seems extremely proud, and self-congratulatory about it. Well, yeah. Doing anything successfully at the scale of Wikipedia is worthy of some praise - and I say that a…

We're very transparent (I work for the Wikimedia Foundation). You can see the specific dashboard for the Page Preview feature here (Last 6 hours): https://grafana.wikimedia.org/das…

Perhaps you had enabled the beta feature and when the feature went to production the setting was kept enabled? Check under Preferences>Appearance>"Reading preferences".

As someone who works on the team that built this feature, thank you for saying this. As for feedback, we've had 4 years of it and welcome more. Check out the FAQ and if you have so…

IIRC the delay value is set at 500ms before a preview is shown.

I don't mean to challenge you, but I think your assumptions about how easy it is for others to do something you consider rudimentary are based in an undeclared set of privileges an…

The comparison to the play "My Fair Lady" is not very convincing. I would suggest the author remove it as it weakens the argument. First, the fictional character states 'no fewer t…

"Even if a project doesn’t require communication" Every project requires communication.

I'm the author and I'd like some feedback. I was interested to see how the information we put online can be used to paint a portrait of a person. This was a small experiment that I…
