A chrome extension for adding facts to Wikipedia
Wikipedia Add A Fact Extension
How it works:
• While browsing the web, select a short passage of text to add to Wikipedia.
• Using Llama3-70b, the Add A Fact extension quickly searches for and analyzes Wikipedia articles that may be most relevant for the fact you’ve found to land in.
• You will get back information about whether the fact you’ve found is in, partially mentioned or not at all in the relevant articles.
• If none of the articles are to your liking, you can search for your preferred one.
• Then add the fact with your comments to the article talk page to edit into the article later yourself, or to be debated or added by others.
• Note: to use the posting functionality, you will need to be logged into a Wikimedia account that has autoconfirmed user rights (registered for 4+ days and with at least 10 edits) on English Wikipedia.
We need your help!
This is an experimental feature that uses generative AI, which we know can sometimes make mistakes.
