@ruari on the subject of #wikipedia …

1) Do you donate to Wikipedia??

2) What’s a good alternative to Wikipedia??

I remember once doing a search for sites that were running #mediawiki and finding a bunch of specialist subject wikis.

1) I have donated to Wikipedia before but must admit I have not done so now for years now.

2) No idea other than not Conservapedia.

@ruari Wikipedia is great because β€œanyone can edit it” but on the handful of occasions I’ve added or edited information, it’s often been removed for being β€œnot notable” (as in a random moderator in the USA didn’t care for my cited UK local knowledge) or it got removed because the β€œwriting style” felt β€œpromotional”.

I’ve never felt welcomed when editing Wikipedia.

@matt I have made a few edits and perhaps been lucky with them. No problems.

P.S. Happy now, you made me feel guilty and I did this

@ruari Nice! πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

I see you’re using Kagi too for search! Is it worth subscribing? I give all my searches to Ecosia right now.

@matt I doubt they can ever be a big company because I don't think most people would understand why they should pay (or that they are paying anyway in other ways) but this was not your question.

Worth it? Well for me it is. πŸ˜‰

@matt If your question was about quality. It is quite surprisingly good!

@ruari I’m going to set it as my default and see how it is (And also steal some of their features and claim them as my own ideas in work)
