Dear reporters, I really like the streamlined layout, the background video and the non-linear presentation online. Lovely work; you are wonderful.
> If the photo remains, I recommend changing this caption to use either > "travel ban" or "entry ban"; both phrases are used in the Wikipedia > article. > Yes. The one starkly political message in the Report is the choice of a protest photo from the US for the story about travel. On the nose, but reasonably on topic (with a corrected caption). In general, I like the spirit and content of this report. A lead-in to the facts putting them in context would be nice; the implied context is "Facts Matter!" However I feel this claim and the report could be even more powerful if it were presented with another half-step of remove. The most unparalleled success of Wikipedia is not that it summarizes topics like "scientific consensus on global warming" — that, one can find elsewhere. It is that you can find thorough coverage of *all* aspects of such important and difficult topics: fledgling + disputed theories, major controversies and factions, and both begrudgingly + enthusiastically accepted conclusions. My one concern: The highlighted fact about travel is wrong. As far as I can tell it's closer to 1 in 20 people. "International tourism arrivals" passed 1.2B this year, but the average tourist "arrives in another country" 3+ times per year.[1][2] If the publishers find a way to retract this mote of misinfo, I will be duly awed :) Wikilove, SJ [1] http://www2.unwto.org/press-release/2017-01-17/sustained-growth-international-tourism-despite-challenges http://stats.areppim.com/glossaire/ita_def.htm https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/global/visa-everywhere/documents/visa-global-travel-and-tourism-study-infographic.pdf [2] A quick round of community review (say, of any reputed facts!) and even citations might not hurt, for statements of fact that are going out to a large audience. You have access to plentiful world-class fact checkers, you don't have to limit yourself to those in the office. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
