1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

I can make something up for you.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

You know, like, let's be a little more...

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

It's true.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

But we know that we can't really use it to write Wikipedia entries or to even help that much.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Although there are areas where we are looking at, OK, like, you know, are there things that could do that would be useful to us?

So this summer I was talking to a French Wikipedia long time community member and she said, oh, yeah, I don't have time to edit much anymore.

But my hobby is I find broken links like a dead link.

I haven't edited a long time.

1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

I said, oh, what do you think?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

What if you had a tool?

1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

So finding a dead link, you don't need AI for that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

The link is dead, right?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

So you find a dead link and then it could look at the article, see what the sentence before was, what was being supported by that.

Then it could go and read a bunch of sources, find something that looks like it's it and make a suggestion to you.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Like it could find two or three sources from known good quality sources and

And then all you got to do is click on it and confirm that it's right.

She's like, oh, wow, that would speed up my work quite a bit.
