Replace the content of the article with User:Buidhe paid/Cyberattack

Reason : improve sourcing and content, with new sections about legality, responses and attribution, prevention, etc.

"Cyberattacks by and against countries" does get removed in my version ; it could be split into a new cyberattacks by country article. My version also shrinks the infrastructure section per wp:weight, so that content should also be moved to a new article, cyberattacks against infrastructure. Buidhe paid (talk) 19:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tjb266, @Dhara447:, if one of you could look at the edit request and decide whether to implement it, that would ensure that you are working with the latest version of the article. Thanks Buidhe paid (talk) 19:33, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The general convention in Wikipedia is not to replace an article. Rather, the article is incrementally improved in several steps. That allows other editors to peer-review and focus on the specific changes you intend.

So I suggest you follow that incremental route. Let's say you think the article has n separate sub-topics that need addressing. Then do that as (at least) n separate edits, each focussed on its sub-topic, as an "atomic transaction". If a sub-topic is big or has sub-sub-topics, use more than one edit. If you have ever used a version control system, such as git, you'll know the idea!

Feline Hymnic (talk) 09:04, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That’s not true. There are no rules about whether articles should be improved in 100 edits or 1 edit. If you have any concrete objections to the content, please feel free to express them. I actually tried to do what you suggest, but since it is an obstacle to actually improving the article (see:talk:operating system), I changed my approach.
