Interesting how different our "popularity score" is though: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular
You don't seem to group them by category, right? I found it quite interesting: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular/topics
Btw, your "new" tab seems to be broken, as it is showing articles from 2019.
I used to have topics etc but removed them for simplicity sake. Proabably makes sense to revert. I'll check out new filter (thanks for the pointing out)
I did whitelist the orangecrumb domain for JS temporarily though. Does look neat, but not the the sort of interface I'm into.
Depends, it mostly shows those entries that were not popular or even flagged.
Wikipedia articles _and YT videos_.
Amazing result, very precious, just skimming in it for a few minutes was immensely enriching.
I feel that this is blatant abuse of people. The argument is NOT about as to whether donations should be acceptable or not, that is another discussion; the argument is that pester pop ups are an abuse of visitors. Same with pester daemons running in the background asking for money or possibly gathering user information in the future (age sniffing daemons).
1. Assassin's Creed video game: A guy changed Japanese history by introducing a black samurai. The whole dramas was so bad that Janapense officials got involved, and one of the reasons Ubisoft Studio which was already broke due to DEI, went even more bankrupt.
2. A lawyer changed specific laws on Wikipedia and waited, as expected, judges were caught using the "fabricated law" against real cases with real consequences.
I could go on and on, but hey, you do you :)
Honestly one of the best Wikipedia talk pages I had ever read, during the controversy. I read amazing arguments well put from both sides, but personally fell on the "Yes its fine to call him a samurai" side based on a very good argument about how the language was applied in that time period. But I felt I could strongly grasp the other sides argument too.

Playable character in Samurai Warriors 5.
First I've heard about this controversy, and I've never played the game, but I could see if a historian was a cite for something and they were saying different things in japanese and english, that the english wikipedia would end up citing inaccurate things.
There's been problems in the past with the deletionist faction on wikipedia or moderators abusing small fiefdoms - some of which has even ended up here on HN, but in this case, wikipedia just citing information from a supposedly reputable source seems to be wikipedia operating as intended.
I get it if bullshit is uploaded and a layman is fooled, but both cases involve trained professionals who know very damn well what a source is, judges and journalists, and it was principally their failure, not of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia never was a definitive or authoritative source on anything, that is by design, that is on the official guidelines. You can't cite Wikipedia on Wikipedia, you must provide sources for information, if no sources exist for an excerpt of an article then it must be tagged as citation needed.
