Are you concerned about Community Notes's performance on non-English posts? I would think that, to the degree that people in the Middle East are using X, performing a similar analysis for non-English speakers in the region would be even more enlightening.

Definitely concerned; unfortunately not qualified to do the analysis since I don't speak the relevant languages.

Totally. Not meant as a critique, but just wondering if it'd be possible to find native speakers to expand on your work!

Yah I totally disagree. You are applying the wrong lens. Truth emerges over time. People that actually use twitter and not just armchair critics understand this. All of the good news was on X the last 2 weeks. Meanwhile formerly respected news sources like the New York times got essential facts completely incorrect like the hospital bombing and put out false information and were very slow (at best) to put out updates.

Why the fuck would I volunteer to do something for one of the world's richest people, who on his own tweets ignores what community notes will say, anyway, if even allowing them?
