Aaron Finch's contribution?

Anybody trying to figure out what Aaron's contribution was? The article doesn't state any. --Greatder (talk) 04:06, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 June 2022

In the section "Current usage" it is stated that Mozilla removed RSS support from Mozilla Firefox version 64.0, joining Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge which do not include RSS support, thus leaving Internet Explorer as the last major browser to include RSS support by default. This is not entirely true, ad Google Chrome for Android supports RSS feeds. I recommend removing Google Chrome and leaving only Microsoft Edge. One of the sources is The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/8/22716813/google-chrome-follow-button-rss-reader). 188.124.192.128 (talk) 15:35, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please change "Mozilla removed RSS support from Mozilla Firefox version 64.0, joining Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge which do not include RSS support" to "Mozilla removed RSS support from Mozilla Firefox version 64.0, joining Microsoft Edge which does not include RSS support".
Google Chrome for Android does support RSS feeds. 89.111.251.26 (talk) 09:45, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Partly done: I felt the change should be done in the paragraph about its revival. Ping me if you're unsatisfied. SWinxy (talk) 05:38, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No sources on RSS compared with Atom

That entire section only contains a source with a dead link.

The claim "Atom has (...) less restrictive licensing" is very odd, since the RSS format is completely open and the specification document has a CC-SA license like Wikipedia. On the other hand, the Atom RFC does provide some more restrictions. Daniel.sousa.me (talk) 17:55, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the dead link, I'll add additional citations if needed. yvanyblog(talk) 11:43, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 17 September 2024

– This is clearly not the primary topic for RSS. Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh Pageviews states that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh gets 2x pageviews, virtually all of which come from RSS (no one can remember the whole name, similar to BJP). Therefore it should be disambiguated. Though I'm unsure where this page should go, that can be decided with discussion. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 19:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While RSS has been a common sight on websites a decade ago, it looks like major interest in it has waned since about five years ago, per pattern at all-time monthly page views of RSS.
I would tend to agree that this particular Indian political topic might not suffice to indicate general ambiguity, but the sum of all the other topics might. --Joy (talk) 09:28, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but you can't assume that the sum of all the other topics listed at RSS includes their being identified as RSS. The question is when people are looking for RSS, what are they typically looking for? Bobby Cohn (talk) 20:06, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
