This month:
MoodBar -- lightweight socialization improves long-term editor retention*by Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Junkie.dolphin* -- I will talk about MoodBar https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/R:MoodBar, an experimental feature deployed on the English Wikipedia from 2011 to 2013 to streamline the socialization of newcomers. I will present results from a natural experiment that measured the effect of Moodbar on the short-term engagement and long-term retention of newly registered users attempting to edit for the first time Wikipedia. Our results indicate that a mechanism to elicit lightweight feedback and to provide early mentoring to newcomers significantly improves their chances of becoming long-term contributors. Active Editors' Survival Models*by Leila Zia https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:LZia_(WMF)* -- I will talk about first results in building prediction models for active editors' survival. A sample of such prediction models, their performance, and the important variables in predicting survival will be presented.
