Current status: Former featured article

anyone know how to fix the google result? it's kind of a problem

if you google wikipedia and scroll down to the result for this page, it shows up as PEE-Wikipedia.

i tried to find where in the wikitext the title was so i could fix it, but i'm not a programmer. if anyone could fix this, that would be great. IHaveAVest talk 19:57, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@IHaveAVest: Unfortunately this is something that is out of our control. You'll just have to wait for Google to fix it. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:01, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if Google is pulling the title tag from this html that shows pronunciation as Wiki-PEE-dia:
title="English pronunciation respelling">wik-ih-<span style="font-size:90%">PEE</span>-dee-ə</i></a>}} Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 20:10, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The strange thing is that should be ignored like in every other article, and it's just the "PEE-" and not the "dee-ə" ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I hereby coin PEEGATE. Let the record show. Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 20:17, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hope this helps Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 20:23, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I tried commenting out <i title="English pronunciation respelling">wik-ih-<span style="font-size:90%">PEE</span>-dee-ə</i> but it didn't work. I did send feedback on this to google, so hopefully they'll fix it. IHaveAVest talk 16:33, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to be fixed, sort of. It now says Article Talk - Wikipedia. IHaveAVest talk 00:14, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Better than PEE. Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 01:01, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's completely fixed now. IHaveAVest talk 00:56, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stylised as WikipediA

Should the article note that Wikipedia, in its logo, is stylised as WikipediA? Xx78900 (talk) 13:37, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, see Wikipedia logo. It won a 2001 logo contest. The Cunctator (the logo designer), does the uppercase 'A' have a backstory? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:47, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not styled as "WikipediA" though, its styled as something more like WIKIPEDIA, with all the letters capitalized but the first and last simply larger. Aza24 (talk) 04:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Updating "Coverage of topics and systemic bias"

Hey everyone. I see the banner on the section says we need to update the information about topic distribution across Wikipedia, but I'm having a hard time finding any recent information/studies about this. Google Scholar isn't yielding recent results, nor is JSTOR, ResearchGate, or Academia.edu. Can anyone help me find recent information about this? If there is none, how can we improve that section? MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 23:08, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have you heard about the holocaust distortion study? That may be something to look at. 63.92.71.67 (talk) 05:05, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling error in "sumarrizing".

This article is semi-protected, and I've yet to make 10 edits, as such I cannot edit it. If you're verified, please edit the misspelling "sumarrizing" to "summarizing" in the last sentence of the 3rd paragraph under "Accuracy of content". It goes as such:

Mannix further discussed the multiple studies that have proved Wikipedia to be generally as reliable as Encyclopedia Britannica, sumarrizing that, "...turning our back on such an extraordinary resource is… well, a little petty." Drunk Experiter (talk) 07:59, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Drunk Experiter: Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. —Bruce1eetalk 08:04, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course! Sorry, I was not aware of the template prior. I'm very new. Glad it got fixed! Thanks for the help! Drunk Experiter (talk) 08:07, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As for 1,000,000,000 times

This article doesn't meet Wikipedia:Notability QarryMotter (talk) 18:42, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QarryMotter: The 460 sources cited in the article disagree with you. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:45, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Just a Wikipedia hater. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 12:28, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Malfunctioning pie chart

For some reason the pie chart of most articles language editions is multiplying the number for Egyptian arabic wiki by 10. Thought Id let experienced editors know Artful Singer ☾ 18:12, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
