  • Probably only sucessful ones.
    Google captchas have had multiple rounds (with it faking you out claiming you failed) for probably a decade. Every round of the game updates some confidence score which if you get it high enough lets you pass.
    This conversely means there is no way to fail, you just get stuck in an infinite loop of challenges if your score doesn’t get high enough.

    The only other alternative means of pricing it would see even valid users consume way more than one “verification” per actual completed captcha, since so many users have low enough scores to need multiple rounds of captcha even when completing them with perfect accuracy.
    I doubt they do this, but if they do it’s a scandal waiting to happen, besides also being very weird for any kind of statistic google certainly offers for their captcha.














  • to avoid stuffing the beans

    No idea what that means

    “sockpuppet investigations” page instead so you can look into it further by yourself

    I don’t see how that is related. I am by no means a wikipedia expert but reading that article and some of the linked investigations it all seems mundane to me.

    tbh this response seems kinda shitty to me. You originally said “[Wikipedia] has a despicable procedure where they dox details of anyone whom they deem as alleged vandals.”. I interpret this as a systemic issue (procedure, they) which happens regularly or always (procedure, anyone). It makes me imagine a wiki page “Vandalism cases on wikipedia” containing a table of cases with date, article, edit, and IP/account, existing for months or years frequented by wikipedia mods and admins.

    I interpret your response now as ‘there is info but it is private and part of ongoing investigations’.
    If it was a larger issue there should be evidence. After all doxxing is precisely about making something publically available.
    My interpretation now is that this is a small thing which either happened in the past or is unknown?

    Can you please be specific about what you are referring to? And even without giving evidence, at least clarify what you aledge wikipedia or admins or anyone else did here?
