Banned user[edit]A banned user has an op-ed published by Breitbart today. Usually I would just skip this for ITM, but this one has to do with the removal of candidates standing for WMF Board elections. Not so sure about skipping it. Any thoughts? ☆ Bri (talk) 00:59, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
Given the discussion above, I'm going to put in a brief mention without the link. Something like "A banned user published a comprehensive write-up of the situation around the slate of candidates in Breitbart News, which is also a blacklisted site on English Wikipedia. The Breitbart write-up also mentions internal Signpost discussions, making it difficult for us to present for multiple reasons." ☆ Bri (talk) 18:51, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
Curious senator, or ...?[edit]I'm genuinely not sure how to describe the letter mentioned in this diff at In the media. Is it demanding information from WMF, or requesting? ☆ Bri (talk) 03:47, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
It's all about the [edit] |
Chatbot | Attribution Handling |
---|---|
ChatGPT | Generally does not provide direct attribution to Wikipedia authors when providing answers. |
Google Assistant | May provide summarized content from Wikipedia but typically does not list authors. |
Siri | Offers information without citing individual contributors, sourcing from Wikipedia among other platforms. |
Cortana | Similar to others, it may pull content from Wikipedia without direct attribution to authors. |
Bing Chat | Often summarizes information from Wikipedia, but doesn't attribute authors or contributors. |
...which is about what I expected.
Anybody want to give a reaction? Does this fit into ItM? ☆ Bri (talk) 02:26, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
How do you know your meeting with Donald Trump went ok? WP doesn't start an article about it. How Albanese can pass the Oval Office Wikipedia test. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:05, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
The WMF published a blog post on 17 October titled "New User Trends on Wikipedia" that is being picked up by the likes of Livemint:
This could be covered in ITM or N&N. As far as I can tell, currently it's in neither. @Bri and HaeB: --Andreas JN466 22:06, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
Checklist
This section is mainly fleshed out from my end, except for one TKTK column and WMF bulletins being covered. As a general note about N&N, User:JPxG please do not publish anything marked as TKTK under my name. I noticed it was done for 9 August issue for Bulletins, while the entire N&N section was unfleshed out. Somehow I did not notice that section being a mess in the issue until now. I'd rather publish nothing or delayed news than shoddy news. And if it's shoddy, I'd like my name retracted from the section. Soni (talk) 07:03, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

I have started this segment - Interview. The section as of now contains all of my questions and the responses, nearly verbatim. I suggest copyediting a bunch of this for clarity, especially the repeated "Would you like to address [X]'s concerns?" Soni (talk) 05:54, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
