Number of Employees(5,595) doesn't match with the linked source
[edit]Maybe I'm blind, but the sources does not seem to support the number of 5595 employees.
The article states:
> Employees: 5,595
However, the provided sources do not contain specific numbers that match this claim:
1. "GitHub Diversity". GitHub. https://github.com/about/diversity/report
This page lacks absolute employee numbers, is updated annually and currently headlines "Diversity, inclusion, and belonging at GitHub 2023". The URL seems unsuitable as a source for anything.
2. Archived from the original on March 23, 2021. Retrieved November 26, 2019. https://web.archive.org/web/20210322042110/https://github.com/about/diversity/report#
The archived page provides specific figures in a diagram in the first paragraph under "Year of global growth" indicating 1,079 employees for 2019 and 1,677 for 2020, which still does not align with the quoted number.
So neither source seem to include the number of 5595 that is quoted.
alternative sources
1. An article suggests that GitHub had approximately 3,000 employees towards the end of 2022/2023: https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/09/github-lays-off-10-and-goes-fully-remote
2. This weird site seems to be very confident and states exactly 5373, but it's source isn't public: https://craft.co/github/human-capital
I don't know the right number, but it seems to be around >3000 and <6000 for beginning of 2024 176.126.217.22 (talk) 18:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Is the iStock explanation necessary?
[edit]Is the iStock explanation ("a website that enables designers to market royalty-free digital images.") necessary? I think that's redundant, as the article on iStock is already linked, and provides that information on its own. Sage or something (talk) 16:30, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Add A Fact: "Creating diagrams in GitHub with Markdown"
[edit]I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below
You can create diagrams in Markdown using four different syntaxes: mermaid, geoJSON, topoJSON, and ASCII STL. Diagram rendering is available in GitHub Issues, GitHub Discussions, pull requests, wikis, and Markdown files.
The fact comes from the following source:
Here is a wikitext snippet to use as a reference:
