Wikipedia Citation Needed New

citations

Wikipedia Citation Needed is a chrome extension developed by the Future Audiences team at the Wikimedia Foundation. This tool aids in verifying the reliability of statements read online by cross-checking them with information from Wikipedia. As a user browses the web, this extension allows them to select a short passage of text and verify it using the ChatGPT API. The selected passage is then examined for its presence in relevant Wikipedia articles, and quotes from these articles are fetched. The tool provides feedback on whether the chosen statement aligns with Wikipedia information and also supplies relevant article quality metrics such as the date of the last edit and the quantity of its references. This helps users gain more context on the information they're viewing. Being an experimental feature that utilizes generative AI, the extension's developers welcome user feedback to improve the quality of delivered results. The tool operates from a side panel, ensuring less disruption to browsing activities, with verification results persisting despite page interactions. The extension also provides an option for users to donate to Wikipedia after a certain number of verifications.
