Love it but…
Long time supporter and small donor. Tried to set up an account to add to an article’s talk page and the app gave me a error warning (actually a short story length error message) that my email address was associated with hosting a website or server, some such thing. Please hold the next solicitation for donations as I will likely be too busy dealing with my vast internet empire.
United StatesBIAS…
SO much liberal bias…
United StatesWonderful app
This app is pretty great for readers—I do little to no editing, so I cannot speak to those aspects. I love the reading lists, and as someone who often wakes up in the middle of the night and reads a bit before heading back for zzz’s, I really enjoy the randomizer button and being able to go through the articles with the back button or the history.
United StatesOverall very good
One suggestion: We can swipe right to go back. Why can’t we swipe left to go forward?
United StatesWhere Did The Moderation Go?
Where is the moderation? I’ve noticed an extreme backsliding in moderation and rigor - especially in recent events-focused pages. Wikipedia has gone from having rigorous standards of proof (and being hesitant to jump to conclusions on emerging information) to posting blogs as sources, citing incorrectly (the source, for example, will say the opposite of what’s claimed), and succumbing to unproductive edit wars. Blogs, tweets, and news sources with low ratings by independent vetting orgs are frequently cited. Moderation has gone haywire and seems to have skewed in very bizarre directions - Stalin fanboys and Polish nationalists, for example. People are posting home drawn art as images for some pages where a photo would be more appropriate. Wikipedia used to seem to me to be approaching the best of encyclopedias, but I’ve lost faith in what used to be a more level headed website. What a mess; what a loss.
United StatesSide scrolling glitch
The app side scrolls like it’s a poorly rendered mobile site
United StatesDisappointing
Very disappointing that I cannot create an account simply because I’m on a T-Mobile device, and T-Mobile associated IP traffic is blocked.
