- Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in Italy and Mexico on the Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedias, can see a personalized Year in Review with insights based on their reading and editing history.
- Users of the Android Wikipedia App in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia can see the new Rabbit Holes feature. This feature shows a suggested search term in the Search bar based on the current article being viewed, and a suggested reading list generated from the user’s last two visited articles.
- The global reminder bot is now active and running on nearly 800 wikis. This service reminds most users holding temporary rights when they are about to expire, so that they can renew should they want to. See the technical details page for more information.

Question about your edit
[edit]Hello,
Yesterday, I updated the information about my grandfather, Rudolf Muradyan, including the unfortunate news that he passed away on November 9, 2024, in Pasadena, California. Could you kindly tell me why you changed it back?
Best regards, Satenik Satenikoganesyan (talk) 09:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) - you'll need to provide a reliable source that they passed away, rather than it just be something that you know. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Kindly check the website of the Pontifical academy of sciences, where my grandfather was a member. Satenikoganesyan (talk) 10:15, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Satenikoganesyan: Per Lee Vilenski's comment above, you need to provide a citation to a reliable source for any information you add to Wikipedia. It's the responsibility of the editor who adds information to provide sources. If you're not sure how to add sources, see Help:Referencing for beginners. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:14, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- From the archives: Where to draw the line in reporting?
- Recent research: "Wikipedia editors are quite prosocial", but those motivated by "social image" may put quantity over quality
