Most of these were complete replacements with discoherent statements.
Such as "TAP IS THE ABSOLUTE DEFINITION OF THE NOUN HACKER" for Hacker.
For the specifics follow http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist
and look at the contribs.

I think that this tech talk might be of interest to content contributors on
some of the projects, including English Wikipedia where there has been much
discussion though the years regarding VisualEditor and related topics.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] [Wikimedia Tech Talks] New Season Begins: February
27, 2019 at 19:00 UTC
To: <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
I'm excited to announce the return of *Wikimedia Tech Talks!* Tech talks
are short presentations by and for members of the technical community. Tech
talks are intended to create better understanding about technical topics
related to our projects.
*The next Wikimedia Tech Talk, The long and winding road to making Parsoid
the default MediaWiki parser
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Tech_talks#Upcoming_tech_talks> by Subbu
Sastry, Principal Software Engineer, will be live-streamed Wednesday,
February 27, 2019 at 19:00 UTC*
Summary:
This will be a talk in 3 (unequal) parts: (a) Parsoid history (b) Porting
Parsoid to PHP: the whys and wherefores (c) From here to Parsoid as the
default.
Parsoid started in 2012 as a project to support Visual Editing and since
then has gone on to support a number of products (Flow, Content
Translation, Kiwix, and Android app). Given that (a) Parsoid's annotated
HTML output enables clients to infer things about wikitext without having
to parse wikitext, (b) the PHP parser cannot support Visual Editor and
other products, and (c) we cannot continue to have two parsers, it is
inevitable that Parsoid will be the default parser for MediaWiki. This has
been known since at least 2015 but while we are nearer to that goalpost, we
are still not quite there yet. In this talk, we'll talk about what else
needs to be completed, and what the porting of Parsoid to PHP means for
this goal.
YouTube stream for viewers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQGfuLP9MqA
During the live talk, you are invited to join the discussion on IRC at

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Why We Read Wikipedia in your language
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
Update time.
Given that this is a long email: there is an action item in the 5th
bullet point below for the language communities who want to
participate in the next iteration of the study. If you are interested
to have your language included in the study, we need a response by
2019-02-15. See below for more.
* The paper on Why the World Reads Wikipedia is accepted in WSDM '19
[1]. If you are planning to attend the conference, stop by to hear
Florian Lemmerich presenting the work. You can read the paper at
https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.00474 . If you have time to only read one
subsection of the paper, we would recommend section 4.4. Summary of
Results. From there, you can start reading the other parts of the
paper depending on your interest about introduction, methodology and
data, etc. If you prefer to watch a presentation about the paper, you
can check out the December 2018 Research showcase [2].
* Remember that our offer to provide presentations and discuss the
result with your language community, if your language is part of the
14 languages in the study [3], is still on the table. :) If you want
to talk with us about this topic, sign up at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Characterizing_Wikipedia_Read…
. No pressure from us: only if having a conversation about readers
help your language community in what you do.
* We have put extensive effort to document the code [4] and data [5]
for this research such that each language community can dive in their
data as they see fit.
* What's next?
The previous results made one point clear to us: geography and
language matter and depending on from where in the world the reader is
accessing a specific Wikipedia language, they may have different needs
and motivations [6]. We hypothesize that age, gender, education,
native language, as well as geographic region the reader is from can
help us understand and characterize the needs and motivations of
Wikipedia readers better. As some of you may already be guessing:
there are some big questions ahead of us. For example, are there
disparities in access to content depending on the readers' age or
gender? Does the trajectory of readers differ depending on their
demographics? We'd like to start addressing questions along these
lines and better understand the needs and motivations of
sub-populations within a country or language community.
To do the above, we will rerun the study and this time we will include
some demographics questions as part of the study.
* How can your language community participate in the upcoming study of
reader demographics?
As always, research on this front is not possible without a very close
collaboration between the language communities who will participate in
this study and the researchers. If you want your language to be
included in this round of the study, please sign up at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Characterizing_Wikipedia_Read…
on or before 2019-02-15 .
Please note that the priority will be given to the 14 languages that
participated in the previous round and that we will do our best to
include new languages. Also note that we may not be able to run the
study in all the languages that sign up: the traffic to the language
edition, the diversity that the inclusion of the language can bring to
the language pool, our capacity to run the analysis in the language,
the availability of the point of contact from the language for
translations will all play a role in the final list of languages that
we can include in the study. This being said, please don't shy away
from listing your language there if you're interested. :)
Best,
Leila, on behalf of the researchers (Isaac Johnson, Florian Lemmerich,
Diego Saez, Markus Strohmaier, Bob West, and myself)

distribution over possible options can change, as well as the reader
characteristics that can describe them.
