I noticed something that alarmed me.
Over the years I drafted many articles on the small, non-WMF wiki wikialpha.org. Since my return to the Citizendium I have ported a couple of dozen articles originally drafted on wikialpha to the Citizendium.
Citizendium is older, larger, and frankly, a lot more serious than wikialpha. So when both wikis had an article on a topic Citizendium's were showing up first. Then, a couple of days ago, when I was away from home, on my cell phone, I used google, thinking it would find the Citizendium article I was looking for. It didn't find it, it only found the wikialpha article, which I had not kept up to date.
Just now I googled Leila Boujnane, an article I started here three months ago. Google didn't find it.
Is this a temporary glitch? A well known problem - but temporary? Did a site-wide __NOINDEX__ get accidentally instantiated? I am going to ping Pat, because this could be serious.

- Okay Very High Temperature Reactor, the most recent article started by User:David MacQuigg, in May, showed up.
- But Rainer Maria Rilke, started by Pat, in June? Did not show up.
- Catherine Hooper, Stephanie Mack, which I started in March, showed up.
- I started Steven David on April 1st. Steven David/Definition shows up. But Steven David does not.
- I ported Mateo Sabog from wikialpha on April 2nd. It didn't show up, and neither did any of its subpages.
- I know articles I had recently started WERE showing up in the google results a week or two ago. George Swan (talk) 04:01, 27 August 2022 (CDT)
