The exact change

Before

> **From the conference-track economics:** *"The mobile technology convention anticipated over 1,800 attendees and exhibitors from 183 countries. All participants were required to have a PCR test or vaccination certificate to take part in congress."* > — MWC Barcelona 2022 editorial coverage, GSMA-organised event scale.

After

> **From the conference-track economics:** *"MWC Barcelona 2022 drew tens of thousands of attendees and exhibitors from over 150 countries. All participants were required to have a PCR test or vaccination certificate to take part in congress."* > — MWC Barcelona 2022 editorial coverage, GSMA-organised event scale.

Why this is better

This pull-quote attributed to 'MWC Barcelona 2022 editorial coverage' gives implausible figures. Verified MWC Barcelona 2022 attendance was approximately 40,000-60,000 people from more than 150 countries, with 1,500+ exhibitors -- not '1,800 attendees and exhibitors from 183 countries.' The figure appears fabricated or badly garbled and should be removed since no verifiable correct replacement figure can be sourced from this article's context.

How this record is verified

  • The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
  • It counts only because the publisher, Exhibition Stands EU, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
  • It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
