Length

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

@BeenAroundAWhile: Greetings! I see you tagged this page for length a few years ago. The page statistics show 47k of readable prose, which is on the short end according to WP:SIZERULE. I quickly skimmed it and didn't see anything obviously overflowing...were there any parts in particular that you think could be moved to a detail article? Feel free to ping me and I can look into it. I'd like to resolve the length question soon so the article can be copyedited. -- Beland (talk) 00:34, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Link Mark Robinson to biography

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary.

I have a disclosed COI as the subject of Mark P. Robinson (editor). In the Definitions section, the article already states that the term crowdsourcing was coined by “Jeff Howe and Mark Robinson.” Could an uninvolved editor please link the existing text “Mark Robinson” to Mark Robinson? No change to the article text or sourcing is requested. This would also resolve the orphan status of the biography. Thank you. MarkPRobinson (talk) 14:09, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done. Thanks for the clear instruction, MartinPoulter (talk) 15:45, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
