Seems WMDE and KDE no longer share an office building?

Needs a HatNote re Lack of real citations

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

On Wiki, self-sourcing is not considered great. Here and there, one or two, fine, but:

Of 122 "REFs" 96 are to KDR.org; 26 are non-KDE.
2 of the "non-KDE" are to a spanish-KDE site, so that's 24.
one of the 24 is to KDEnews.org, so that's 23.

There's something about RS, Reliable Source(s).

One Ref is to TheRegister
One Ref is to CIO Magazine
One apiece to Linux Magazine and to LinuxPro
TWO to ARS Technica
TWO are to NTVMSNBC (a spanish news source)

So an article that has 122 citations, and presumably at least half are important, i.e. would otherwise say CITATION NEEDED, this article needs a HatNote. Pi314m (talk) 01:36, 15 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
