 * Ashersea (talk) 11:11, 4 August 2023 (PST): would like to talk with others about WIKIPEDIA RESEARCH. i'm interested in "MAPPING" as well as GRAPHING and also OPEN LEGAL USAGE RIGHTS in terms of AI.  i'm also interested in understanding the WIKI BOT PATROL infrastructure as well as CREATIVE ideas for publishing NEWS.  I often read the CURRENT EVENTS PAGE on WIKIPEDIA and would like to know a little more about how that works.  i would also be interested in understanding some of the "network graph" of all the wikipedia articles and how the "top 1,000,000 articles" are chosen or how it can be better customized per user particularly for emergency cases and "OFFLINE WIKIPEDIA" as well as downloadable "reference similar tree" topics for OFFLINE.  I've also been looking into a lot of more "complex" ideas in terms of reasoning and logic and would be interested in how wikipedia works with articles for example "is the earth alive and why does Antarctica look like a brain" (for example how wikipedia works with spiritual topics... (for example) "like the earth having a brain similar to the shape of Antarctica").  ive also been using wikipedia as my "search engine" and i would be interested in how we can better improve Wikipedia search with "modern ai" for example show a graph based search result rather then a text based n-list similar...  i'm also interested in talking about ETHICS and PRIVACY as well as LAW and WIKIPEDIA as well!!! also i'm super interested in PHOTOGRAPHY and VIDEO of "wildlife" and would be interested in what we can do to help people thing more about the "wild" and help with NATURAL RESOURCES and JUNGLE of "offline" THANK YOU.
