Hello everyone
You are warmly invited to answer a survey to help a team
developing a new visualisation tool.
Your answers will be incredibly useful for the team to move
forward.
The survey is about sharing how your evaluate the quality of
articles, and what would be useful to you in terms of
visualisation to analyse quality of a set of articles.
Participating to the survey does not require you to do any
investigating work on the future tool. But if you want to know
more about the tool and the team please read below the context
and follow the links

Context
Visualizing Sustainability and Climate Change is a research project
aimed at identifying and visualizing knowledge gaps related to
sustainability and climate
change on
Wikipedia. The project helps visualize these knowledge gaps,
supports communities in improving content on this important
topic, facilitates collaboration among multilingual communities
and partners, and strengthens the capacity of Wikipedia
contributors to document and share information on climate change
(as well as sustainability and SDGs).
In
practice, in collaboration with Wikimedia projects focused on
sustainability and climate change, the initiative will
produce a visual tool that
allows users to evaluate and monitor the quality and quantity of
articles related to sustainability and climate change on
Wikipedia across different languages.
In the long run, the tool is expected to serve beyond the
specific « Climate change » topic ;)
The
projet is developped as part of a research project, promoted
by SUPSI, funded by the SNSF, with the patronage of Wikimedia Italia.
On the Wiki Community side of things, the organizations
involved are Wikimedistas de Uruguay, Wiki in Africa,
and Wiki Education Foundation.
