Using Wikipedia: Crash Course Navigating Digital Information #5
Let's talk about Wikipedia. Wikipedia is often maligned by teachers and twitter trolls alike as an unreliable source. And yes, it does sometimes have major errors and omissions, but Wikipedia is also the Internet's largest general reference work and as such an incredibly powerful tool. Today we'll discuss using Wikipedia for good - to help us get a birds-eye view of content, better evaluate information with lateral reading, and find trustworthy primary sources.

Wikipedia Donations Exposed. The Truth.
Lock In 7% With Government Bonds:

But, many would argue that this pop-up is not only extremely misleading but highly unethical. Even Wikipedia’s own ex-outreach officer says that he is ashamed of Wikipedia’s fundraising tactics.

Wikipedia Plays Pokemon (Round 3, with new code)
I made a program that downloads a random Wikipedia article, makes it somewhat readable and then tries to play Pokemon.
It takes the first letter of each word and then presses buttons accordingly. I tried to make it somewhat balanced so 80% of the button presses are movement, 15% is "A" button, 4% is "B" and final 1% is start. These obviously vary from article to article but that is roughly the average.
Had to reset the run because I have no idea how far back the save file is and I think this bot could do better with different starter.
This is heavily inspired by Twitch Plays Pokemon back in the day and Pi Plays Pokemon and bunch of other streamers/content creators as well.
Let's see how this goes!

- A valid link is a link in an articles body. Links that appear in or after the "See Also" section and links that appear as footnotes are not included since these are not really a part of the article's body. Links in and after the "See Also" section of pages are typically not used in Wikipedia races.

Lock In 7% With Government Bonds:
https://www.silomarkets.com/logic/
I’m sure you’ve all seen the Wikipedia pop-up asking for donations. At first glance, the request seems like a humble ask to keep the community-oriented website up and running. But, many would argue that this pop-up is not only extremely misleading but highly unethical. Even Wikipedia’s own ex-outreach officer says that he is ashamed of Wikipedia’s fundraising tactics. Why you ask? Well, the simple truth is that Wikipedia itself is not actually all that dependent on donations. In fact, according to Wikipedia’s own founder, Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia can be run for just $5,000 per month. He made that statement a while ago, but even accounting for inflation and more traffic, the cost to keep up Wikipedia is extremely minimal. As such, the vast majority of your donations actually end up going to efforts outside Wikipedia that you’re probably not even familiar with like grants and other Wiki products. This video explains the controversy surrounding Wikipedia donations and why their fundraising effort may not be as wholesome as think.

I’m sure you’ve all seen the Wikipedia pop-up asking for donations. At first glance, the request seems like a humble ask to keep the community-oriented website up and running. But, many would argue that this pop-up is not only extremely misleading but highly unethical. Even Wikipedia’s own ex-outreach officer says that he is ashamed of Wikipedia’s fundraising tactics. Why you ask? Well, the simple truth is that Wikipedia itself is not actually all that dependent on donations. In fact, according to Wikipedia’s own founder, Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia can be run for just $5,000 per month. He made that statement a while ago, but even accounting for inflation and more traffic, the cost to keep up Wikipedia is extremely minimal. As such, the vast majority of your donations actually end up going to efforts outside Wikipedia that you’re probably not even familiar with like grants and other Wiki products. This video explains the controversy surrounding Wikipedia donations and why their fundraising effort may not be as wholesome as think.

I made a program that downloads a random Wikipedia article, makes it somewhat readable and then tries to play Pokemon.
It takes the first letter of each word and then presses buttons accordingly. I tried to make it somewhat balanced so 80% of the button presses are movement, 15% is "A" button, 4% is "B" and final 1% is start. These obviously vary from article to article but that is roughly the average.
Had to reset the run because I have no idea how far back the save file is and I think this bot could do better with different starter.
This is heavily inspired by Twitch Plays Pokemon back in the day and Pi Plays Pokemon and bunch of other streamers/content creators as well.
Let's see how this goes!
