The mix of footnotes changed; no single large rewrite stood out.
Something to inspect — not a judgment of bias or bad faith.

Did editors fight over it?
The page was not dominated by back-and-forth undoing. A quiet rewrite can still matter — it just means few people fought it on the page. About 1,368 recorded revisions in the measure.
Who wrote today’s text?
Half of the wording still on the page is about 13.6 years old or newer. 19.4% was written in the last 3 years. The ten most active accounts wrote 87.0% of what is there now (most of the current text comes from a small group of accounts; 159 different accounts overall). Snapshot data on this page runs through 2023-07-01.This is background only — a small group of writers is common on specialist pages.

Rewrite analysis is not available
No current rewrite result is available for this article. This is missing coverage, not a finding that no rewrite occurred.
Persistence-weighted changeThe share of wording lost, weighted so text that survived more snapshots counts more. by interval
Each row reports established wording lost, standing wording gained, and paired change as a replacement lead. The bar shows loss for continuity with earlier reports. Below-floor anomalies remain descriptive evidence but cannot receive exact confirmation. A coverage gap is shown descriptively but excluded from detector decisions. Candidate-window labels report the exact revision-level decision for the broader window containing that interval.
How the detector reached this state
- 1 · Coarse scanA snapshot comparison that finds candidate windows for closer inspection.Candidate signal foundThe coarse scan found a deletion-heavy window worth exact checking.
- 2 · Interval scoring37 intervals scoredThe bars below show persistence-weighted wording loss for each interval.
- 3 · Exact checkA revision-level test of whether a candidate window's durable spine collapsed.UnavailableNo current revision-level decision can be published.

How the footnotes changed
How the article's own footnotes changed across the rewrite: which websites and books were cited more or less. We only show the mix — we do not rate sources as good or bad.
Looking at 2008-01-01 → 2023-07-01 (no L1 pivot — whole history): 39 websites were cited more (or newly), 6 less (or dropped). Number of footnotes: 42 → 146. Different websites: 15 → 44.
Mix of citation types: book 67%, web 33% → web 48%, book 46%, journal 4%, news 2%.

Counted from the article’s own footnotes. We list domains only — we do not call any source trustworthy or untrustworthy.
Do the languages agree on basic facts?
Simple factual questions checked in several languages. Editions may agree, differ, contradict, or not say enough to tell. That is not a claim about who is right.
On the latest check, 3 questions produced: 0 contradict · 0 compatible difference · 2 agree · 1 not enough said.
| question | today |
|---|---|
| In what year and city was the First Zionist Congress held, and who convened it? | not enough said |
| Most editions state nothing specific about the congress; only ur (and partially uk) give Basel 1897 with Herzl, others only mention 1897 founding without city/congress detail. | |
| Approximately when did the modern political Zionist movement emerge? | agree |
| All editions converge on 1897 or late 19th century, consistent framing of the same period. | |
| In what geographic region did the movement seek to establish a Jewish homeland? | agree |
| All editions agree the goal was Palestine/Land of Israel, with en adding specific geographic boundaries. | |
