Oh sorry- I meant more organizing edits like this may technically break a Wikipedia rule on no paid edits or ppl editing under false pretenses, so a public call for edits could be seen by some wiki editors as a sticky gray area.
Mainly, and I apologize for this, a hold over from working for the Wikimedia Foundation has now made me an odd stickler for rules because I could see a crotchety admin saying/huffing “well, even non profits shouldn’t edit their own pages or get their volunteers to do it bx *bias* so ok I’m gonna revert all these recent edits.”
I’m sorry- that’s what I meant.
It should be fine, honestly, I just wanted to flag this in case the new edits got reverted.

Hey Caroline,
I suggested tor-project@lists.torproject.org *because* it's a public mailing list. You think that's not sufficient to find an editor/editors who aren't officially affiliated with Tor?
i would recommend me one person actually edit the page. you can organize all the edits in a separate place and then put them in. but if any pedantic editors suspect this was done by an affiliate, they will revoke the edits, etc.
i would recommend organizing here, and getting a handful of people to write the edits, then share back here, and then have one person s-l-o-w-l-y copy paste in so it doesn't look like spam or bot activity.
best! caroline

Hope everyone has had a fantastic beginning to the week.
I recently reviewed the English Tor Wikipedia page as per our conversation at the last meeting. All and all, it was accurate; there were probably some parts that were understated and others that were overstated, but there was nothing too glaring. I'm not sure who
will be
dealing with the changes, but I can chat with them as well if further information is needed.
Thanks for taking such an in-depth look at this!!!
I'm wondering how we might best put out a call for help on these edits. tor-project@ list seems like an obvious place. Maybe also good to include in the message that the non-English pages need some love.
Unless someone else wants to organize a sprint to do this? I think it's a really good idea but I don't have the time to take it on myself. :(

I did have a few suggestions, though they mostly pertain to formatting and elaborating on existing content:
- 'Tor Browser' header could use a more concise explanation and
feature
list
- 'Third party applications' subheader could use some loving as
you can see
- 'Levels of Security' header - why is this a million miles below the
browser section? Could use revisions as well
- 'Tor Messenger' bar should be removed - as it's no longer
current or
reccomended, it would be better to not showcase it any longer.
If anyone had opinions or additions to this list feel free to
mention them!
Thanks a lot, see you all tomorrow. 😊
