Staleproof Watches Wikipedia Move
A freshness-monitoring tool that tracks major English Wikipedia changes and helps publishers find outdated web knowledge.
Field notes
The service uses major English Wikipedia edits as signals for possible freshness gaps elsewhere on the web. Its stated workflow combines before-and-after excerpts, a Knowledge Change score, a separate confidence measure, and an update-frequency history for each flagged article. A further check compares the changed knowledge with live search results, including AI Overviews and top-ranking page text. The homepage also identifies Wikipedia excerpts as CC BY-SA 4.0 licensed.
