Editors' interests are hard to change and, actually, it wouldn't be auspicable to do it. The only resources which can be moved are those related to outreaching, editathons, various kinds of online and offline projects. Keeping it short I disagree with choosing topics for editathons and similar initiatives basing on topic popularity since this will be in contrast with any commitment to diversity, even more it will push a wrong model of encyclopedia. When you state that Mr Trump does not know about Indian-Pakistan conflicts, > does he know that a Nigerian governor outspends presidents of neighbouring > countries.. There are elections for Nigerian governors... > I didn't wrote this actually, inaccurate quoting of others' opinions can poison any discussion. Trying to rephrase, I wrote it would be better to cover things which suits more the mission of an encyclopedia and which get less attention by media, as Indian-Paki conflicts background, rather than mr. Trump's covfefes. > > What is the propblem with providing what people are looking for? > > I often look for bus schedule 😉 Vito _______________________________________________ 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>
