Ingressos de Twitter

Bona tarda, a la pàgina de viquipèdia de Twitter hi ha els ingressos de l'empresa en pesos mexicans, algú sap el perquè no està en les principals monedes munidals (dòlars i euros)? Moltes gràcies.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Oleguer8 (talk • contribs) at 12:41, 8 October 2020‎ (UTC).

owned by is incorrect!

Someone added Owned by in April to show Twitter owned by Elon Musk -- but that is factually incorrect! The deal is in process and far from finalized.

That seems right. I removed the statement. --LydiaPintscher (talk) 18:09, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Premature renaming

It seems odd for the page to be named X when the service is still referred to as Twitter, including within the app and site. I also don't think that listing x.com as an official site makes sense, that is just a redirect to the actual site, twitter.com - Odin (talk) 17:34, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Odin Totally agree. There is no official source for that and nowhere on the website pages the name Twitter was replaced by X (e.g.). Also, even if a new logo appeared today, the logo is still officially the same. Also I precise that this unofficial new name is X and not 𝕩 (with the mathematical Double-Struck Small X). The logo was created recently copying the X of the font "monotype special alphabets 4".--Harmonizator (talk) 18:30, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not too concerned about the logo as there is wide reporting about that change, however, it's framed as an "interim" logo, meaning it will likely need to be updated again in the near future. - Odin (talk) 18:50, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. @Epicamused, please stop your edit war over these changes. The logo has changed, but the website URL and other attributes still haven't. You are being too fast and reckless. Please stop. stjn^[ru] 08:49, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

the name has been changed (see twitter.com/Twitter) Epicamused (talk) 08:49, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

No, the actual name hasn’t changed. It’s still ‘Twitter’ on the website, ‘Sign in to Twitter’ etc. You are not correct. x.com is also not the actual domain yet. stjn^[ru] 08:51, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Like, yes, the social media account has the name ‘X’ (not 𝕏 btw that you are reverting to), but the whole website interface is still using ‘Twitter’, and that’s obviously far more important. stjn^[ru] 08:53, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I have added X as an alias in the meantime, as it is sometimes being used to refer to the platform. Twitter should stay the main label until the transition completes. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 15:47, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Also added a deprecated official name statement to prevent others from adding it erroneously. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 15:53, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

The Android app was renamed to X, and also displays the X logo as well. As for the website, it's saying X as well (as in Home / X, which previously read Home / Twitter) , and as of now you can use x.com/(standard path of a twitter URL), and that'll work just as it should work with twitter.com, however I think the actual URL change will commence soon as well. -- User:CrystalLemonade16:58, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

The iOS app has also been renamed and rebranded. I think it is appropriate to have the label as X now. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 23:03, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Login pages on web still have ‘Twitter. It’s what’s happening’ in the title, ‘Join Twitter’, etc., so no, rename should not happen yet before the rebranding is actually fully complete. Please do not rush into recentism. stjn^[ru] 19:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

This is not Wikipedia though 240D:1A:4FB:1E00:C74C:7420:3735:EE5E 11:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Restored ‘Twitter’ once again in cases where Wikipedia articles use ‘Twitter’ as the page name. Please cease from using the new name where it is not used by the Wikipedia language communities. stjn^[ru] 11:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

@Sofie Geneea, @Прикли — please take note. I will revert your edits indefinitely if you keep doing changes that are not based on how language communities in question refer to the entity. stjn^[ru] 11:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, but can you also make sure that the "Also known as" field contains the new name? Sofie Geneea (talk) 11:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Can we restore this item to as when it was before the name/article changes, and shunt all X related items to Q116007306 currently "Twitter under Elon Musk"? Robertsky (talk) 11:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh. What should that even mean, “shunt X related items”?? You can describe Twitter/X in various ways and there might (should?) be multiple Wikidata items for these various ways (e.g. one item for the whole Twitter/X history, another one for the pre-Musk Twitter era, another one for Musk X era, etc.), but they definitely should not be driven (just) be the name. A completely random comparison: While cs:X (sociální síť) and fr:Twitter use different titles, they describe exactly the same entity (“the social network formerly known as Twitter and now known as X”). Moving the cs sitelink to another entity and splitting it from its fr counterpart would be plain wrong. And this entity is definitely the one about Twitter/X as a whole, not “while it was called Twitter” or anything. --Mormegil (talk) 11:54, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Language items related to Twitter should be moved to other wikidata item

Can you remove the language items I list below from this wikidata and link them to this (Q126022120) wikidata item? Their articles contain nothing about X and almost all of them are outdated.

List: afwiki, anwiki, frpwiki, gnwiki, bmwiki, bjnwiki, banwiki, cebwiki, nywiki, fowiki, gdwiki, ilowiki, iawiki, iewiki, jvwiki, kbpwiki, swwiki, liwiki, madwiki, mgwiki, kaawiki, simplewiki, scnwiki, sowiki, shwiki, dinwiki, tkwiki, vepwiki, warwiki, yowiki, zeawiki, sahwiki, ttwiki, myvwiki, ugwiki, sdwiki, pnbwiki, pswiki, glkwiki, awawiki, sawiki, guwiki, tewiki, knwiki, xmfwiki, amwiki, satwiki, wuuwiki, hakwiki, cdowiki, chrwiki, mniwiki. Kerim Demirkaynak (talk) 23:54, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

We are not here to judge how outdated Wikipedia articles are. We need to have our own items properly defined. Curently, Twitter (Q126022120) is defined as Wikimedia permanent duplicate item (Q21286738). I think we should redefine it as “pre-Musk Twitter” and after that, we can move those sitelinks which refer explicitly to pre-Musk Twitter (basically, for those Wikipedias which have at least two separate articles for Twitter/X). I don’t think we want to refer to “articles not updated with the renaming” as “articles whose scope is restricted to pre-Musk Twitter”. This item is not “X after being renamed from Twitter”, this item is “the social network originally called Twitter and currently called X”. --Mormegil (talk) 08:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

You forgot what Wikidata is for: for linking interwikis. Now we have a big deal when translating articles from enwiki since most internal links link to Twitter, making it act like there's no article for Twitter in native Wikipedias. You're making Wikimedia worse by removing valid sitelinks. LEILA FERRAZ (talk) 22:45, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Well, you are mistaken (Wikidata is not (only) “for linking interwikis”), but that does not matter here: I am trying to maintain valid interwikis here. The problem is the unsettled state and changes of scope in the individual Wikipedia articles in various languages. AFAICT, zhwiki has two articles: zh:X (社交平臺) which covers only the post-rebranding era (its history section beginning with acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk (Q111725317)), and zh:Twitter which seems to cover the pre-branding era (I guess? it seems some parts refer to Twitter as it exists currently?). I guess your current mapping of sitelinks to the articles makes sense in the current situation (even though this item describes the whole Twitter history, not only its post-rebranding era; for that, we might probably some day use X under Elon Musk (Q116007306) (with some cleanup) if this article organization takes place in more Wikipedias). --Mormegil (talk) 07:02, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
