To-do list for Wikipedia: edit·history·watch·refresh· Updated 2024-01-05


  • Long term goal: return to featured status
  • Article structure has been significantly changed and needs fixing and further improvement.
  • See if anything from Italian page can be used to improve this one.
  • Consider implementing any suggestions made by the most recent peer review, including the automated peer-review suggestions.
  • Implement suggestions made by the 2012 Peer Review.
    • Improve/Add Citations
  • Fix the problems that were found in the 2012 FAC
  • Add demographic information from pew report [1]
  • Stylistic problems, specifically:
...the single-sentence paragraphs, the lack of flow within paragraphs, the broken connections between paragraphs, the weak large-scale architecture in the article, the huge number of references for a paltry amount of data, the lack of distinction between important and trivial facts.
  • Record a new audio file once it reaches FA standard
  • Other:
    • Is it worth having an FAQ like other heavy traffic articles? E.g. "Why should Wikipedia have an article on itself?"
    • The "sub-articles" that were split off from this article are badly in need of attention, as are several other related articles. The following all need work:
  • Can we get the first three of these into a template somehow?
  • Many other language Wikipedia articles of questionable notability, particularly the smallest ones. A thorough going through is needed, with non-notable articles being AFD material.
  • Images: update graph in history section

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
  • Expand : Add information about how well the open model is working. The number of articles protected and its evolution in time. Even better, share of reads (hits) according to page protection status.

Inappropriate citations in bias subsection

The following sources referenced in the subsection on bias in Wikipedia are both completely innapropriate. I will be back to review if a rollback can be made, or if a deletion is better. please provide feedback before then.

Curently citation 192, is not a scholarly or professional source of any kind, nor is it an original work. It is a summary of proceedings which took place during a summit which included commercially and politically motivated speakers, covering a wide range of topics. the source referenced has been obscured making its primary text unverifiable, and, presents the misappropriation that it is actually a scientific publication buy obscurity behind a pay wall.

Currently citation 193, this is also not an original work, the cited source does not include any original research, and in fact cites the Wikipedia article it is used in as its source for the fact that it is used to cite in the Wikipedia article. this is a clear Wikipedia:Verifiability ABOUTSELF violation.

The screemshot in the infobox isn't aligned to centre on mobile view, it's a bit to the left. Sushidude21! (talk) 01:52, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
