I'm glad to see the coverage in the LA Times about Alicejmichel's work on geobiology; we presumably have the WEF to thank for that reportage. It remains to be seen if Wikipedia can start learning to affect long-term editor recruiting and retention along these lines. Chris Troutman (talk)16:22, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Chris, thanks for the comment. I noted that the article we cited has been republished in other papers, which is also good. These initiatives strike me as important and bold -- instead of sitting around and hoping content improves over time, the project is actually leveraging knowledgeable people to improve scientific articles, which may be painstaking but of real value.--Milowent • hasspoken13:05, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
