This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:

Stvilia, B.; et al. (2005-07-29). "Information Quality Discussions in Wikipedia" (PDF). University of Illinois U-C. {{cite news}}: Explicit use of et al. in: |author= (help)
"The 50 most-viewed Wikipedia articles in 2009 and 2008". The Daily Telegraph. 2009-08-17.
"Wikipedia's most searched articles of the year revealed ._". BBC News. 2012-12-28.

(possibly) promotional paragraph

the third paragraph of this article, the part talking about wikipedia, sounds a little promotional to me. it mentions some extra content about wikipedia that is either not necessary, or conveyed in a way to make wikipedia sound special in some way. but i'm a student, and i don't know everything about grammar, tone, and stuff like that so idk, tell me what you guys think and if we should change it

"Wikiwikiwiki" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Wikiwikiwiki and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 30 § Wikiwikiwiki until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

That is what I thought too! It sounded like WP:COI, but a bit more subtle. I do not know how to change it so it could be more neutral. My best guess is we add examples of other wikis, but the problem is there are not really any other wikis. Otherwise, we could have moved it to the history paragraph, and with a little bit of editing it would probably fit. But, there is a paragraph with roughly the same idea. Candylinsky (talk) 09:38, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing body of knowledge and reference list

I am editing the body of knowledge by rephrasing the sentences to suit the proper grammar and clarity of language. I am also updating the reference list to be more abreast with modern and current knowledge that is related. The decision-making topic should be a subtopic under responsibilities and should be updated to suit the current trends. Pbuahbas (talk) 02:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-== External links: WikiApiary ==
-There's a problem with the WikiApiary link. Clicking leads to 504 Gateway Time-out at https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Main_Page. After first arriving there deleting wiki/Main_Page resulted in text appearing on its main page but repeating that since then has only led to 504 on the page.

We have no control over, nor affiliation with, those wikis.
