Stefan Bohacek<p>Well, I checked again, and the links on the English version of the article haven't been updated.</p><p>Obviously I shouldn't be making this edit myself, but I wonder if there's a <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/wikipedian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wikipedian</span></a> willing to take a look?

Joe Roe<p>Initially I was sad about <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/StackOverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StackOverflow</span></a>'s collapse, not so much because I've contributed a lot to it (and as a <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/Wikipedian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedian</span></a>, I've already resigned myself to big tech trying to sell my own words back to me), but because I learned a lot of programming and statistics from it; it gave me focused answers to specific problems. It already bothered me that my students were turning to AI for that purpose, and now what I was telling them to use instead is turning into AI slop... (1/2)</p>
Skip Lacaze<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>futurebird</span></a></span> It seems that Google crawlers should be able to detect scraped copies of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> being used as <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/linkfarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linkfarms</span></a> and keep them from coming up in search results. Promoting such sites in their search results must be contrary to their business interests. Over 20 years ago, I edited the Wikipedia disambiguation page on Eglantine, to list a nickname I used on an LoTR bulletin board as the second cousin of Pippin’s mother. I thought it was moderately clever and I was curious to see how long it would take to be reverted. It didn’t take long, but while it was up, a massive Russian site scraped it. It’s still there. Hobbits and ants both deserve better. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Wikipedian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedian</span></a> <a href="https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/881451" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki</span><span class="invisible">/881451</span></a></p>

I used to spend more time on <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> than social media. Dealing with <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Deletionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deletionists</span></a> discouraged me and I cut back on my editing hours. It wasn’t so much the few negative comments that showed up on my talk page, but the comments made in deletion discussions on some articles that I had started or many that I watched. The cadre of pissants that would show up at every attempt to delete an article about a public high school almost always supported each other with arguments that, essentially, ignored Wikipedia’s Five Pillars in favor of “I’m not interested in this, so it doesn’t belong here.” The same opposition was raised to articles about young or female achievers other than in tech or other fanboy favorites. It was also clear that few editors or admins understood what a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Gazetteer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gazetteer</span></a> was, as opposed to an encyclopedia. I’m going to follow you in hopes that your research will show up before too long. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Wikipedian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedian</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Inclusionist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inclusionist</span></a></p>

I just tried this in my iPhone. It has a very clean UI with no ads and was lightning fast. However, searching for both Bolinas and “Bolinas” gave me twenty hits for “bolina” (a butterfly) for every useful one. I didn’t find a sort or filter to fix this, but it seems necessary. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Wikipedian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedian</span></a></p>
