This month:
MoodBar -- lightweight socialization improves long-term editor retention by Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia -- I will talk about 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 -- 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.
Hey folks,
The presentations will be starting in about 10 minutes.
The event will be streaming over youtube: http://youtu.be/Rn4-cBYxttA IRC backchannel for questions will be in *#wikimedia-research*
