Good work Mayur. It will be more better if interested wikimedians write their analysis about this survey. Each wikimedian can derive various analysis from this report.


The quality factor can be improved/refined if we include/exclude various parameters. One important parameter that I would like to see as part of this is the Localization statistics.

For non-latin wikis the article size of 0.5 kb or 2 kb is negligible. A higher size need to be included (for the reports published at http://stats.wikimedia.org) for better comparison of non-latin language wikis.

Yes, I choose many important factors that was available in wikimedia stats, The formula was derived by me but as a past student of economics i tried to do my best, basically i marked each factor on the scale of 100 so that no factor alone may affect the whole survey.

Thank you

Hi Mayur, 

Interesting analysis. Thanks for the hard work. 

Is there any academic reference based on which the formula was arrived or is it empirical?

One possible indicator for a Wikipedia's quality may be offline activisim / organizing as it indicates the community's rapport which is very vital for overall quality control. Things like meetups, releasing CD etc.,

Ravi
