Hi all - Wanted to follow up on my message from last Thursday, March 2nd.[1] As detailed, we are making changes to the Annual Report site that should be reflected today.[2]
Per suggestions we are exploring randomization of the facts displayed in the index page carousel. The ordering on the Consider the Facts page will be updated to begin, as discussed, with "Wikipedia is updated almost 350 times a minute". [3] I also want to share that in adding citations to the "One in six people visited a foreign country in 2016" fact, I followed SJ's advices and emailed the UNWTO to explicitly confirm their 1186 million international tourist statistic.[4] This morning I received a response from Ruth Gomez Sobrino, Media Officer stating "Yes, this is true….and it will be 1,800 in 2030." So we are keeping this fact as is, and adding a citation note to add proper context. Thanks, Zack [1] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2017-March/086699.html [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151798 [3] https://annual.wikimedia.org/2016/consider-the-facts.html [4] http://www.e-unwto.org/doi/pdf/10.18111/9789284418145 On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 11:47 PM, James Salsman <jsals...@gmail.com> wrote: > Rogol Domedonfors wrote: > > > > Do you believe truth and accuracy are to be found only > > at one ppint on the spectrum of political belief? > > There is a very strong correlation which has, since November, become > much stronger.
