@Merovius Not uncommon on Wikipedia, where various editors add facts over time, sometimes without reading the existing page too closely.
I found this EU page https://rmis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/rmp/Dysprosium which gives a 2021 figure of 3126 tons produced, 40% of which was from China, 31% from Myanmar, and 20% from Australia.
Do I have to look at & update all of the rare-earth pages now? 
Maybe tomorrow!

✧ Nadar ✧
Nadar (born Gaspard-Félix Tournachon; 5 April 1820 – 20 March 1910) was a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist, balloonist, and proponent of heavier-than-air flight.

In 1863, Nadar commissioned the prominent ballooni...

"we must consider the networks of links and hyperlinks between articles that affect the visibility of biographies. Specifically, if women’s articles are poorly connected to other articles, they become more challenging to find. It is essential to clarify that creating links is a complex skill that involves identifying related pages and adding hyperlinks to them, which has significant implications for information retrieval and visibility on the Web."

"Epistemic violence remains pervasive in much of the moderated content online, yet its extent is challenging to measure. This paper introduces a novel approach to address this gap by proposing an Epistemic Violence Index applied to #Wikipedia biographies of Latin American women scientists and writers...constructing a graph representation of the Wikipedia network connections for leading female figures in science and literature from the 19th and 20th centuries"

I just saw that I have exceeded half a million total edits on all #Wikimedia projects! (I started contributing in late 2002.) 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Seav
Granted, 95% of these are on #WikimediaCommons and #Wikidata where I use tools like QuickStatements (by @magnusmanske) and Cat-a-lot that let users quickly rack up edits. But I think my nearly 20000 edits on the English #Wikipedia is respectable. 
"The load on our infrastructure is not sustainable and puts human access to knowledge at risk. We need to act now to re-establish a healthy balance."
AI scraper traffic is threatening #Wikipedia's sustainability on multiple fronts:

@clive You inspired me to go look at the #Wikipedia history run-down.
The last few paragraphs are interesting. Looks like their brief foray into casinos, gambling and hotels has been dropped in favour of refocussing on retro-gaming. Sounds positive for the brand.

@Data_is Wait? Woher kommt die Befürchtigung, dass #Wikipedia verschwinden könnte.
Ich verstehe die Idee, die Hashes zu sichern, um Manipulation nachzuweisen, aber wäre es nicht klüger den Inhalt zu sichern. Die englische Wikipedia schlägt wohl mit 24GB zu Buche: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia

AI vs. Wikipedia
Dal 2024 i crawler AI hanno fatto +50% traffico su #Wikipedia rallentando i loro server: https://www.hdblog.it/tecnologia/articoli/n614009/wikipedia-problema-intelligenze-artificiali/
Intanto nel #Fediverso i post vecchi (specie con media) gravano su tutti i server e sono bersaglio di scraper
potrebbe aiutare cancellare i propri contenuti vecchi su Mastodon: https://mastodon.uno/statuses_cleanup
I server consumano energia e ogni foto può pesare su centinaia di server #mastodon federati
Ogni byte risparmiato = meno costi e minor impatto ambientale
Consider the shameless greed of the tech billionaires and venture capitalists who are plundering #Wikipedia—nonprofit, crowd-sourced, and one of the wonders of the modern world—only to convert its highly reliable information into a far less reliable mash-up.
