This seems like something worth protesting about/trying to stop, but I'm not finding any sources for the "40% of Wikipedia is under threat" claim made by the headline.
The article mostly discusses a stub that was marked for deletion by one of many users who seem to pride themselves on deleting articles.
- mikeyouse 10y agoThe 40% figure comes from ~2 million stub articles out of ~5.3 million total on English-language Wikipedia.
- passivepinetree 10y agoInteresting, thanks. So they're just claiming all stubs (and no "full" articles) are in danger of deletion from these deletionists?
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoUnfortunately, Boing Boing loves sensationalistic headlines that turn out to be unsupported by data.
