In plain words
This is an open source tool designed for journalists to analyze and track Wikipedia edits. Launched in 2014, it allows users to examine edit histories and identify patterns in Wikipedia contributions. The tool is intended primarily for reporters and researchers investigating Wikipedia content authenticity and potential bias. By providing transparency into the editing process, it helps journalists verify information and understand how Wikipedia articles are modified over time.

Hi HN! Wikiwho is a tool that scans Wikipedia edits and extracts those coming from specific IP ranges associated to known organizations. I've made this as a for-fun side project two years ago. If you want to read more on how it works I've written a short blog article about it here: https://ailef.tech/2020/04/18/discovering-wikipedia-edits-ma...

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
