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.
