Folklore: Is This Or Is This Not A Current Endeavour?
Folklore: Is this a current endeavor? I have seen it in one instance but when I looked for it, I couldn't find it as an endeavour; only as pages of the many different cultural references and other relevant information, including detailed definitions and information therefore. Please, if this is a current endeavour, contact me. I am quite interested in this topic! Reikimom333 (talk) 00:03, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Try Folklore and category:Folklore, that should lead to many other pages on Wikipedia. Quite a good collection here. Thanks for checking and not giving up (probably not the page for it but who knows). Randy Kryn (talk) 00:59, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks, Randy Kryn. I'm just so glad to find such a collection of folklore that is here. It could always use more, and I shall keep the hope for more and future contributions. Reikimom333 (talk) 17:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Revert last edit seems fine
Censorship... country's goverments seems redundant. Better restore to censorship... national governments. 2001:EE0:4BCA:B460:49A4:5AB0:3C6E:D99E (talk) 11:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Done, thanks, your concern makes sense. This was a new edit and have asked that it be talked-paged if the editor wants to return it. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:34, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Erasmus Prize (2015)
The text says in the section "Cultural influence" - awards: "In 2015, Wikipedia was awarded (both) the annual Erasmus Prize, which recognizes exceptional contributions to culture, society or social sciences," It would be good / nice / fair to add, that the prize specifically has been awarded to Wikipedia as a community - the collective enterprise of tens of thousands of volunteers who, worldwide, offer support to build the initiative" (Original text in Dutch: "De prijs werd in het bijzonder toegekend aan Wikipedia als community – de gezamenlijke onderneming van tienduizenden vrijwilligers die, wereldwijd, helpen om dit initiatief vorm te geven." see: website erasmusprijs.org) Thanks!

Anchor Text: the original is broken in live
Broken link: https://rogchap.com/2011/09/06/top-40-website-programming-languages/
Text found in the line : Archived from the original on September 22, 2013. Retrieved September 6, 2011 SpintaDigital (talk) 09:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: The link linked under "the original" is supposed to be broken. If you check out citation #2 in the references list, you will see that there are two links: one that links to the original, broken page, and one to a web.archive.org version that is still accessible.

Punctuation error
The end of the third paragraph says “While the reliability of Wikipedia was frequently criticized in the 2000s, it has improved over time, receiving greater praise from the late 2010s onward. while becoming an important fact-checking site.” There’s a period there that should be removed or replaced with a comma.
