I can't see it on Wikipedia. Do you have a link?
- numlock86 6y agoWhile I think it's complete bogus, I will respect the author's demand of staying pseudonymous and not post a direct link. But check the history of a certain article if you really need to look it up.

- Dylan16807 6y agoGoing through the history of an article counts as digging, and saying that's "on Wikipedia" is pretty misleading.
- antientropic 6y agoIsn't "digging" exactly what a good journalist is supposed to do?
- FeepingCreature 6y agoJournalism is not digging for the sake of digging, it's digging for the sake of a story. Revealing Scott's name is not for the sake of a story, it's for the sake of enabling harassment.
- numlock86 6y agoBy your definition getting anything from a git repository that's not the main branch is digging and saying "it's on git" to a specific branch or tag would be misleading. The article history of any article is literally available with just one click on Wikipedia. Well, make that two to show a specific version. Getting to the article itself takes more clicks and key presses than that ... so reading Wikipedia at all counts as digging already?
- Dylan16807 6y agoSurely you know that's a strawman. You can do better.
- numlock86 6y agoHow is it a strawman? The whole concept of Wikipedia revolves around versioning.
