	Just out of interest, how much data is currently being stored on Misplaced Pages's servers, as well as across all the Wikimedia projects? ] (]) 16:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
	:I'm not personally in a position to even be able to estimate it. I'll just note that there's a difference between "the size of the live databases (including all the history)" and the total data being stored on all servers, which would surely include a vast number of database replicas as well as backups, etc.--] (]) 18:16, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

	== NPOV as a system of communicating vessels ==

	Hello Jimbo,<br>Sometimes I have difficulty deciding if some phrase about Misplaced Pages indeed appertaining to you or imagined / built upon by myself. Like with "]" (now in archives of this page, confirmed to be altered by me but overall yours ""Annoying user, good content").<br>This time I'm wondering if you ever compared ] and ]. Something like "one vessel contains a dark blue liquid, the other - transparent, connected together so mixed (] search) - light blue". Did you ever say anything like that or is it my own imagination? --] (]) 17:02, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
	:Hmm, not that I recall. I'm going to think about this, though, and perhaps it will come to me over the next few days.
	:I just read the entry on "communicating vessels" and it isn't really a mental model that I think fits NPOV. But it is, of course, a powerful idea (in plumbing if nothing else haha!) and I'm intrigued.--] (]) 18:14, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
	::Oh, sorry then and the score in Thus Spoke Jimbo becomes 1:1 (this my miss - ]) :-) --] (]) 21:57, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

	== AI generated text ==

	Wired has an interesting article about the growing dangers of AI generated text possibly being used to manipulate online fora that would seem to be relevant to Misplaced Pages: . Of possibly useful note: "OpenAI and other researchers have released a few tools capable of identifying AI-generated text. These use similar AI algorithms to spot telltale signs in the text. It’s not clear if anyone is using these to protect online commenting platforms. Facebook declined to say if it is using such tools; Google and Twitter did not respond to requests for comment." ] (]) 18:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

	== 100 million doses will be administered in 100 days ==



	Although Misplaced Pages relies on reliable sources in the news media, sometimes they are not forthcoming in politics-related subjects. I was interested in how the current rate of administering Covid-19 vaccination doses compared to Biden's goal of 100 million doses administered in the first 100 days of his presidency.

	I was able to determine the current rate from data at , which is the website of ] and uses a research team based at the University of Oxford. The data for the total cumulative number of doses administered can be displayed by deselecting "per 100 people" in the choices above the plot. The numerical information from a data point can be obtained by hovering the cursor above a data point on the plot.

	From the plot, the data for the recent trend of the total number of doses administered in the US up to a given date is: Jan 12, 9.33 million; Jan 13, 10.28 million; Jan 14, 11.15 million; Jan 15, 12.28 million. Thus the current rate of doses administered is 1 million per day, i.e. a rate of 100 million doses in 100 days. So at the current rate, in the first hundred days of the Biden administration there will be 100 million doses administered in 100 days.

	The 1 million per day rate is consistent with a statement put out by the White House Council of Economic advisers. "As of January 11, the US has delivered the first of two doses to 7.7 million individuals with a rate of administered vaccines now approaching 1 million per day."

	:Ok. Not sure why that's relevant on this page, but it is interesting. I suppose if your point is that the 100 million in 100 days matches what is already being done under the Trump administration, it may not be as bold a claim as some think. I'm sure there will be sources to attest to that if true.--] (]) 17:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

	Simple[REDACTED] is basically watered down version of big wikipedia. Most of the heavy contributors there are banned on big[REDACTED] and that can be proven.

This talkpage has been mentioned by a media organization:

Matthew Gault (8 December 2021). "Misplaced Pages Editors Very Mad About Jimmy Wales' NFT of a Misplaced Pages Edit". Vice Media. The trouble began when Wales posted an announcement about the auction on his user talk page—a kind of message board where users communicate directly with each other.

Talk:Jimmy_Wales#Newer_2024_image?

Hey Mr. Wales, there's a discussion on Talk:Jimmy_Wales#Newer_2024_image? about what image should be used on your Misplaced Pages entry. Figured you may want to chime in with personal opinion about the recent freely-licensed images of you that are presented, as there hasn't been much engagement there at the time of my post.
