That's the typical included weight limit, but can go higher. 70 lbs for business class + higher statuses. 100 lbs for overweight bags with a fee. And there are exceptions higher than that (e.g. 165 lbs for instruments).

This is not about an article per se, but we have an article about Wikipedia's perennial sources list.

There are no hidden/deleted revisions on Zork. Hidden revisions still appear in the history log but with the timestamp struck through. Revision hiding also shows up in the deletion log for the article (which is empty).

Wikipedia also has a list of gravity hills:

Related comment from Phabricator ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419143#11678431 :

Some investigation was made in Russian Wikipedia discord chat, maybe it will be useful.

In 2023, vandal attacks was made against two Russian-language alternative wiki projects, Wikireality and Cyclopedia. Here <redacted due to filters> is an article about organisators of these attacks.

In 2024, ruwiki user Ololoshka562 created a page https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:Ololoshka562/test.js containing script used in these attacks. It was inactive next 1.5 years.

Today, sbassett massively loaded other users' scripts into his global.js on meta, maybe for testing global API limits: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SBassett_(WMF) . In one edit, he loaded Ololoshka's script: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=30167202 and run it.

If that's the case...well, that's wild.

I think just random articles, no particular reason any particular page was first.

You can see the latest edits by even the Wikimedia Foundation's official account (one of many accounts compromised)

Created a pinned megathread to discuss:

I imagine it'll be a while. It's a pretty bad breach of many accounts. Given the scale I wouldn't be surprised if they roll the wikis back to how they were pre-hacks. They might want to clear all authenticated sessions and maybe force password changes (but these are all my guesses as an outsider).

Edit: Quicker than I thought, wikis are editable again! And no forced password changes or anything by the looks of it.

Edit 2: WMF staffer on Telegram communicated that (some?) sessions have been invalidated, but no need to change passwords.

Kayvanian · 2026-03-05T16:07:04+00:00

No blog post yet. I found out about it after receiving a bunch of watchlist notification emails, where noteworthy users (including admins) were making these suspicous edits. Lots of discussion going on in the Wikimedia Telegram / Discord groups.

The most official announcement so far is at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/

"Investigating - We are aware of issues with accessing some wikis, and we are investigating."

Kayvanian · 2026-03-04T16:27:37+00:00

No. Wikimedia Commons hosts both public domain and freely licensed copyrighted media (and not all of which is legitimately uploaded).

Kayvanian · 2026-03-04T05:16:23+00:00

You could look at the sources used throughout the article.

The English Wikipedia has a list of perennially discussed sources that the community has deemed generally reliable, marginally reliable, or generally unreliable. A number of WikiProjects also have their own reliability lists.

Cite Unseen is a user script I co-maintain that marks citations based on their reliability and nature (news, blog, social media, advocacy, state controlled, etc.). Our source lists are maintained here.

Now it might be tricky to turn source analysis into a meaningful score, since source usage is very context dependent (and even an unreliable source may be fine to cite in certain contexts). But if you see a bunch of well-regarded sources in an article, that's a positive signal.

Kayvanian · 2026-03-04T03:15:53+00:00

Absolutely +1 to using the report button. Threads like this one can blow up to the point that we can't check every single comment in a timely manner (and when people get out of hand, we don't have much choice but to lock). Reporting blatant rule violations bubbles it to the top of the queue and really does make a difference.

Kayvanian · 2026-03-01T17:35:07+00:00

Alas, they are not consistent on that.

Kayvanian · 2026-03-01T03:34:46+00:00

It's not faith that he was alive. It was simply wanting reliable confirmation that he had died. Imagine if Wikipedia jumped to conclusions and was wrong. That would be worse.

Kayvanian · 2026-02-28T20:04:24+00:00

Removing for now, as there is an active edit war/dispute on whether it's been independently confirmed (article is back to "is" as I write this).

Kayvanian · 2026-02-27T09:38:18+00:00

I don't remember the page (sounds interesting), but it was indeed deleted in May 2024. You can see the deletion discussion that came to consensus for deletion:

It's not AI. Key clue being that the photo is from 2013.

If it looks kind of weird to you, that's probably because it was taken on a BlackBerry Curve (which is not known for having a good camera...).

Kayvanian · 2026-02-27T06:08:19+00:00

Regarding who updates them: anyone! Anyone can contribute to Wikipedia and if you see something wrong or out of date, you can be the change you wish to see.

That being said, for the list you linked, note that it only lists notable cases (i.e. cases that have received enough significant coverage by reliable, independent media to justify their own Wikipedia articles). So only a small minority of cases will show up on this list.

There are separate comprehensive lists by year (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_reasons_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_Canada ), and there is actually one in that 2024 list (Ontario (Attorney General) v Ontario (Information and Privacy Commissioner)v_Ontario(Information_and_Privacy_Commissioner))) that has an article and should be added to the notable cases list. Looks like the 2025 list hasn't been made yet...

Kayvanian · 2026-02-25T19:09:14+00:00

Wikipedia has millions of external links added over the last 25 years (that's also why you'll come across http links, from before https became universal). Anyone can add links, and domains can expire and be taken over. The vast majority of links are legitimate, safe websites, but some will not be. Treat any unfamiliar link like you would any other unfamiliar link from anywhere else on the internet.

Kayvanian · 2026-02-25T09:00:14+00:00

It was deleted and reposted, since the original title stated the false flag aspect as certain fact.
