According to a report published by Chainstory, the encryption industry continues to have low coverage in Wikipedia. The problem of visibility resulting from the absence of words is further amplified as more and more users are accessing information through an AI tool such as ChatGPT.
Only 67 head lines
According to the report, only 67 of the top 1,000 encryption projects, based on the market value of CoinGecko, had Wikipedia pages. According to Chainstory, the rigorous auditing standards established in the early years of Wikipedia to respond to industry noise are still being applied.
According to the report, this practice today does not only filter short-term projects, but also makes it difficult for some of the larger encryption networks to access this public database. Even if the entry is created through a process, it may be removed by the administrator or entered into a community voting process for seven days.
AI Quote More Wikipedia
Chainstory quoted data from the AI Tracking Platform Profound that 7.8 per cent of the source links given by ChatGPT pointed to Wikipedia, up from 1.8 per cent in Reddit and 1.1 per cent in Forbes.
Reference is also made to Trakkkr data, according to which Wikipedia accounted for 36 per cent of the top 10 quoted links in ChatGPT and 25 per cent of the top 100 cited links. This means that the opportunity to appear in AI ' s responses may be even lower if there are no Wikipedia entries.
Encryption vertical media is harder to use
The report also mentions that Wikipedia has made the reliability of encrypted vertical media more stringent. Encrypted news agencies, including CoinDesk, are generally not considered reliable sources in their relevant guidelines.
By contrast, mainstream media, such as Reuters and Bloomberg, are more likely to be used, but such media usually have less coverage of the particular tracks, such as the pledge of a mobile nature, the Eternal Contract Exchange and others. CoinDesk stated that Wikipedia had not responded to the report.
