yeah, which is why it feels like a meaningless fact to me... all it means is the government does something
- Comment on The UK just took a harder stance on Banksy than genocide 1 week ago:
not that i believe banksy is litter or condone genocide, but just for those curious the source’s argument can essentially be applied to “britain declared littering is worse than genocide” as well

Weekly would make the problem even worse.
- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits: Users will now see seven-day metrics that track active visitors and contributions instead. 1 week ago:
to be fair, a minority of video creators (and nearly no subreddits) have very long or sporadic upload schedules, which would make the MAU metric be weird bursts. MAU works for regular content which Reddit pretty much always is while only the top YouTube creators do that.

I think they's perfectly understandable and their links directly discuss Russia funding Californian separatism. The only error's pluralizing "coverage".

Ooh, creating that article's a lifetime achievement!
Looking at the deletion discussion, I see why you would think everyone only looked at the fame, but none of the article's citations such as "Leeroy/Mortal Kombat Techno Remix" could've shown that it was actually a meme beyond someone's personal character. One editor mentioned hardly finding any Leeroy Jenkins results from Google back then, let alone reliable sources. I have to admit there were definitely some !votes that didn't look for sourcing, though It doesn't help that the article did look like something some random guy created for their OC:
Comically offsetting his ham-handed actions, which led directly to the disgraceful slaughter of his entire group, Leeroy is shown with exhibiting machismo [...]
Anyways, just five months later a year-old editor with just over 200 edits made a draft with plenty of good sourcing and took it to WP:DeletionReview, and everyone agreed it was notable enoug.
- Comment on Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring 1 week ago:
Notability is sourcing: Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. They even made a catchy name for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_answer_to_life,_the_universe,_and_everything (well they borrowed it but you catch my drift). Even if every single claim is Verifiable, it will be deleted if there aren't enough secondary (independent of the topic) sources because it's dangerous and likely non-neutral to only hear the subject's view of themselves. Confusing Notability with something else is a pretty common pitfall for new article creators, so there's things like "Articles for creation" where you can submit article drafts for review and have conversations with the reviewer on what exactly is wrong with your article, as well as many other guides and forums like Help:Your first article, WP:Teahouse, and WP:Help desk.
It didn't help that a couple years later somebody else decided it was notable after all and created the article.
The essay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Too_soon is often cited to say "This might get the needed sourcing in a few years, but right no we can't tell, so it's better to create the article again when it has what's needed to align with our content guidelines rather than rush to make a misleading one right now." So either that's exactly what your situation was, or . I'd love to take a look at the article you're talking about.

what did they ever do since the PC build guide?

It's not internal bullshits, it's whether there's enough neutral sources to sourceits.

Not unless you brag about it.

that's not my impression. they definitely don't really get technical beyond the pop culture depth, but just last week they reviewed budget chromebook options and finished a switch-to-iphone challenge

though i get the other things you mean, LTT's sponsor sections have roughly stayed the same length over the years

not sure which videos you checked. LTT is paced faster than MKBHD though mrwhosetheboss is definitely faster than both.

WMF has been headquartered in San Francisco since 2007. Not that California's in the US, but much better than Florida.

There's a Citation Needed newsletter run by former Wikipedia Arbitrator Molly White that also has a store that of course has [citation needed] merch.

1: You can easily disable JavaScript and still browse Wikipedia without any issue. This also removes all banners, which I assume is what I mean by "ads", which on Wikipedia only appear from time to time and advertise WMF events and donations.
2 and 3: Your IP address is deleted after 3 months, and there's nothing people can do to you just for reading Wikipedia either. Just visiting Wikipedia's servers carries no risk. The exception is if you edit courts could get your personal information when the WMF loses a case, but you can't edit using an open proxy like Wikiless either (because if they allowed you to edit, it would be also be easy for banned editors to edit).

I don't see that in the comments and the article said user PickleG13 was the first person to add the salute information. You can also just go check at the Elon Musk article.

It wasn't planned to just be given to them. It was always a prototype sent to them for sponsoring purposes. Then they dunked on it and auctioned it. If it was a misunderstanding it was an egregious misunderstanding. Though they also enormously misunderstood a mouse in another tech review and never took off the cover while complaining of trash tracking (because they didn't take off the cover at the bottom!).
That said, this was all two years ago. Not sure what stirred things up in January.
