5,702 PointsProgram breaks when on of the promises are rejected. (Namespelling discrepancy issue.)
Since Wikipedia spells Anatoly's name with an I at the end, I get a 404 error on that specific promise. This gives me the following error:
Error at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onload (promises.js:15)
How do I make sure that the program works, even if this happens?

function getWikiProfiles(data) {
const profiles = data.people.map(person => {
return getJSON(wikiUrl + person.name);
});
return Promise.allSettled(profiles);
}
function generateHTML(data) {
//console.log(data);
data.forEach(person => {
if (person.status === 'fulfilled') {
person = person.value;
const section = document.createElement('section');
peopleList.appendChild(section);
section.innerHTML = `
<img src=${person.thumbnail.source}>
<h2>${person.title}</h2>
<p>${person.description}</p>
<p>${person.extract}</p>
`;
}
});

231,184 PointsThis issue is due to two 3rd-party API's having a disagreement about spelling. Code that would handle this kind of thing in a generic way would be rather complex.
But if you don't mind applying a temporary fix for these specific cases, see the code posted by another student in reponse to this other question
