Hi Andy -- at about 18 seconds into the video, you can see content that's
identified, albeit in light gray font, as being from Wikipedia with links

Dear all,
Board recruiting has been demanding. We launched our first truly global
search. It was far more work than we expected. But I am glad to say that we
have significantly expanded our talent network and are engaged in
conversation with four, uniquely talented finalists.
We have missed some
Couple of scenarios come to mind:
If this succeeds, and is launched more widely, we might have a lot of
preparation to do, and this might not be obvious to Facebook or even to
us. Facebook has a huge audience and is currently extremely fertile ground
for fake news. Diverting some of that audienc

I opened devtools here and this is what I could gather,
bywiki.com seems to be a very thin layer over wikimedia itself. The first
calls are to bywiki domain (and seem to be actually cached from wikimedia
servers with some extra added code, including added advertisement with a
bidvertiser script).
Thanks for the heads up. Cool initiative. This will likely mean we
will see conflicted editors in greater numbers trying to adjust the
articles in question. So something to keep an eye on.

Hi all,
You might have seen that Facebook announced a test of a new feature today
that uses English Wikipedia content.[1] The new feature provides more
context about the source of news articles users see in their News Feed on
Facebook by pulling information about publishers from Wikipedia.

We've published a status report on Community Tech's work for the year so
far, based on the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey:

We do have a somewhat successful journal here on Wikiversity
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine
The journal provides peer review and people are publishing under their
real names. Could such a journal publish oral histories? Sure why not.
We would just need a group of volunteer
To add to my prior comments, while bywiki.com is very well put
together there are trademark issues that need to be addressed. Plus
the log-in setup could confuse Wikipedians into giving away their user
name and password. I will pass this along to legal and hopefully we
can get the site to address t
It is a beautifully done copy of Wikipedia. The history tab, talk
pages, and user pages all work and thus appropriate attribution is
present. The content is up to date. My IP is blocked so not sure how
well editing works.

I guess for the same reason we never managed to run a successful journal,
despite talking about this for about ten years. This project would need to
have infrastructure comparable with the infrastructure needed to run an
academic publishing house - editors, referees etc, which at this point

I agree that is the current situation, but why should we not have such a

surmountable)
