Editing 'Cede and Company' on Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)

I am continuing with the project to edit Wikipedia articles about GameStop and DRS. I expect that this will take both vigilance and good citations. For example, in the article Cede and Company, I wrote, "Appropriately, the word 'cede' means to 'give up (power or territory)' because investors give up their stock and companies give up their shareholders to an intermediary." I cited "Rise and effects of the indirect holding system system: How corporate America ceded its shareholders to intermediaries".

How you can help:

Challenge: Get the word 'DRS' to stay in the article GameStop short squeeze.

Looks like it got ninja-reverted. Someone's watching it and doesn't like that ...

I appreciate you keeping watch! I just checked the article, and I see still the sentence that I wrote at the end of the introductory paragraph. I also checked the revision history, and my edit is the latest. I also tried logging out of my account, and I still see the the sentence that I wrote. So no reversion yet!

I'm confused then.. when I view the page I do not see the December edit:

Appropriately, the word 'cede' means to 'give up (power or territory)'https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cede#English because investors give up their stock and companies give up their shareholders to an intermediary.{{Cite conference| publisher = SSRN| pages = 1–66| last = Donald| first = David C.| title = Rise and effects of the indirect holding system: How corporate America ceded its shareholders to intermediaries| date = 2007-09-26| url = https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1017206}}

I just purged the server-side cache for the article Cede and Company. If you still don't see the revision, then you can also try bypassing your client-side cache.

I see it now, perfect!
