[cvn-l] Help test new edit review tools
by Krinkle 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hi all, Wikimedia Foundation's Collaboration team[1] is working on new tools that may make it easier to review edits, detect and fight vandalism, and be more welcoming to new users. The interface will be based on recent changes, but enriched with information from ORES [2], the machine-learning system that predicts things like "Does this edit have problems / did it damage the page?" and "Is this edit likely made in good-faith or bad-faith?". If you're familiar with ClueBot, ORES is a little bit like that. Based on that information, the idea is to provide different feeds for different purposes. For example, a feed for good-faith edits (e.g. the "welcome" feed), or one for bad-faith edits (e.g. the "Vandalism"). Details are still open for discussion, but we could for example hide edits from the Vandalism feed if they are damaging but likely made in good-faith (to avoid speedy-reverting a new user). Or perhaps to add them to the Vandalism review after a short delay instead of in real-time (to give users of the good-faith feed some time). Right now these tools are still in early stages and in the end we all want the same: High quality wiki content, happy editors, happy vandalism fighters. If you'd like to share your ideas and get an early look at what they're working on, e-mail Daisy with the following details: * Username. * City/Country or time zone. * Best time to talk to you. * Short description of your primary reviewing or patrolling activity. The testing should take about an hour. To participate, send your details to dchen(a)wikimedia.org with subject line "Counter-Vandalism". -- Timo [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Collaboration [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ORES

[cvn-l] Web service traffic statistics 2014-2015
by Krinkle 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Hey all, I'm currently doing some maintenance work on the web services of the Countervandalism Network. I'll be re-creating the web server to use a newer base image in Wikimedia Labs. This will also upgrade the server from Ubuntu 12 Precise (w/ Apache 2.2) to Ubuntu 14 Trusty (w/ Apache 2.4). While there, I took a look at the traffic logs. Here's a summary of the past year. == Page views by month == Apr/2014: 335,709 hits May/2014: 634,580 hits Jun/2014: 472,835 hits Jul/2014: 557,525 hits Jun/2014: 385,136 hits Sep/2014: 723,163 hits Oct/2014 738,108 hits Nov/2014: 1,223,763 hits Dec/2014: 1,241,514 hits Jan/2015: 1,072,986 hits Feb/2015: 760,675 hits Mar/2015: 1,215,277 hits Interactive graphs https://plot.ly/~Krinkle/21/cvn-web-page-views-by-month-2014-2015.embed <https://plot.ly/~Krinkle/21/cvn-web-page-views-by-month-2014-2015.embed> https://plot.ly/~Krinkle/13/cvn-web-page-views-by-day-2014-2015.embed <https://plot.ly/~Krinkle/13/cvn-web-page-views-by-day-2014-2015.embed> == Unique visitors == From all logs since April 2014, we've seen 4013 unique IP addresses. Raw numbers by day: https://gist.github.com/Krinkle/c2d91651ab45ecb4a237 <https://gist.github.com/Krinkle/c2d91651ab45ecb4a237> See also: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Countervandalism_Network/Infrastructure <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Countervandalism_Network/Infrastructure> These statistics include spiders, crawlers and other bots. The logs of 10 November 2014 were partially corrupted due to an outage at the time. The actual number of unique visitors may be different. Various internet providers around the world routinely assign new IP addresses to customers (thus the same user has multiple IP addresses over time). Users behind proxies will appear in the logs as the same IP address (thus many users share a single IP address). — Krinkle

[cvn-l] Let's cuddle more!
by Krinkle 24 May '14

24 May '14

Hey, Snaj[1] and I were thinking.. our communication on IRC is quite a bit scattered. Now, most wikis have a home channel for general chatter separate from their #cvn channel. This makes sense as those will most likely be related to that wiki (e.g. #wikipedia-nl for #cvn-wp-nl, #wikimedia-commons for #cvn-commons etc.). But for more cvn-centric talk and cross-wiki handling or CVN/SWMT in general (e.g. cloak requests, reporting issues with ClueBot or CVNBot etc.), we've got ourselves spread rather thin: * #wikimedia-stewards : This one has (in my perception) organically grown to be the most active channel. It's not only for stewards, but also for talking *to* stewards. Something one naturally needs to do as part of cross-wiki monitoring. So it naturally attracts the right crowd. In addition, it's also where global sysop and most other interested parties tend to idle. * #swmt : Since "sw" is not a single wiki, this is technically the homewiki channel for #cvn-sw * #swmt-talk : Additional off topic chat channel * #countervandalism : Right now only used for requesting @countervandalism cloaks and for support with CVN bots and channels etc. #cvn-sw : People do talk occasionally here as well. (Did I miss any?) I'm proposing we shutdown #swmt and #swmt-talk in favour of #wikimedia-stewards, #countervandalism and #cvn-sw. — Krinkle [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Snajdowski

[cvn-l] One staff member left
by Paul S. 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

Hey People! Today we’ve received a message that Cbrown1023 wished to step down as senior staff member. I’ve followed that and removed him this evening. I’d like to thank him here again for all the time he spent in the past for the countervandalism network. Just wanted to let you all know about that, so you don’t wonder why his flags have been removed in several channels. For the CVN staff, Barras
