Nice! I begin to understand what's meant, and I can see meaningful
'diff's in the WP page's history. Makes sense indeed!

Again, many thanks!

Hi,
I ran the article through Wikipedia's "reflinks" tool (
https://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py?page=Picolisp&citeweb=on&overwrite=simple&limit=200),
which made a slight change to a url embedded in the page. I am not very
involved with wikipedia either, but I can try and read up on what else
needs to be done.

This is my first post to the list after recenlty discovering picolisp.
Impressive software, thanks!

best wishes,
Mattias

I'm not involved with Wikipedia, so maybe others can fix it, but I
understand the 'missing inline citation' part:
