Markdown generated from Wikipedia missing numerical data

[ckadner]

The Markdown version of the Wikipedia page is missing some numbers, like the height of the 265 m (869 ft) high cliffs surrounding the island

Wikipedia:

Geography and Geology

Most of Prince Leopold Island rises steeply from the surrounding sea, with cliffs rising as high as 265 m (869 ft) above sea level surrounding most of the island. ... The majority of the island's area of 68 km2 (26 sq mi) is occupied by a plateau generally ranging in altitude between around 240 m (790 ft) and 300 m (980 ft).

Should I update the Markdown (and corresponding commit hash)? There are at least 2 questions referring to those numbers.

Besides the missing height and area measurements, the Markdown does not contain the Coordinates: 74°N 90°W from the Wikipedia page. One question refers to that.

similar to Prince Leopold Island, there are some key numerical values missing from the Markdown, like the miles per hour figures below

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMC_DeLorean#Performance

DMC's comparison literature noted that the DeLorean could achieve 0–60 miles per hour (0–97 km/h) in 8.8 seconds when equipped with a manual transmission, but other sources indicate an acceleration time of 9.5 seconds. When equipped with a manual transmission, the DeLorean accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 10.5 seconds as tested by Road & Track magazine. Top speed was claimed at 130 mph (209 km/h), but was tested to be a lacking 110 mph (177 km/h). Car & Driver put the top speed of a 5-speed manual at 117 mph (188 km/h) (indicated)

We could do either of the following to address the problems:

• update the Markdown files manually, individually
• remove all questions that are referring to missing numbers
• figure out and update the tools used to generate the Markdown (if we plan to keep using Wikipedia for knowledge submissions)

We should definitely ...

• identify and update in-flight PRs that have this issue
• find out what tools are used to ingest the data from WikiPedia and curate it for the LLM training and re-use that

I do have a rough script to ...

• downloads all source PRs
• combines the QnA
• removes duplicates
• find similar questions
• pull together the co-authors
• draft the commit message

I am thinking of hacking up some scripts to ...

• get the source of the Wiki page, run it through a conversion tool and show a diff
• compare the answers from the qna.yaml file with the wikitext to identify what answers might not have made it through the conversion process

Looking at the Wikitext source for the DMC_DeLorean page shows some wiki markup that might throw of the conversion:

{{convert|0|–|60|mph|}} in 8.8 seconds
