Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 17 May 2021 and 31 July 2021. Further details are available
on the course page. Peer reviewers:
Jmhogg.
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!
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. (

This is a difficult request to fulfill because it will take a reviewer a large amount of time to review your new article and review and compare to the existing article. After all that it done, it is unlikely a reviewer will find your new version better in every way and so there will need to be improvements to your new article or some sort of merge process. I took a look at your
Talk:Operating system experience and I see that was also difficult. I don't have any specific advice other than it doesn't look like you've yet found an effective way to do this paid editing. ~

I've already been paid for all my work and have no financial stake in whether it gets implemented or not. My plan is to wait until the grant expires so I can have no conceivable COI. Then, I will implement the edits myself (on my regular account) and let normal editing sort itself out.
