Hi all,
Wikimedia Europe, the University of Amsterdam and the Eurecat Research Centre are currently researching https://wikimedia.brussels/wikimedia-europe-partners-for-research-into-wikipedias-practices-on-information-on-elections/ election information and election period content moderation on Wikipedia. It is a project funded by the European Media and Information Fund https://gulbenkian.pt/emifund/ and focuses on the 2024 European Parliament elections.
As part of this project we are gathering and recording Wikipedia editors' experiences.
Tomorrow we are inviting you to* share your stories, tricks, solutions and experience with trolls, bots, misinformed editors. *Where do you see them most often? How do you deal with them? How can others learn from your experience?
Join *Troll-spotting: stories across Europe https://tel.meet/wag-moez-kpd?pin=9238161380557* (online)
*4 February (Tuesday), 18:00-19:30 CET*
Cheers,
D
Adding Wiki-research-l for visibility.
By the way, per best practices you might want to create a research project page on Meta-wiki for this endeavour: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Projects . The new project button there leads to a template that asks for various details, but these are mostly optional.
(I see there is already a project listed that is titled "Wikipedia during 2024 Elections", but it seems focused on elections in a different country.)

Hey Dimi,
I am very curious about the outcome of your study and will be looking forward to a „we proudly present“ announcement via this list or any other channel. A study comparing different European Communities and their experiences and solutions would add thus far unexplored context. Not least because as of late (and without surprise) the interest in Wikipedia – and especially how the Community adapts to current events bringing special attention to issues/certain articles, manipulation attempts etc. – has been on the rise in the German mediascape and political sphere as well.
Let us know when the finalisation of the study is underway. I hope we can support with communication on our end – if you're interested.
Cheers, Franziska

Hi Dimi and all:
Thanks for this important work. I just want to flag that much of the most advanced "troll-spotting" will be done by folks who are not going to be willing to share on a public call, but might be interested in chatting privately. Let me know if talking to those folks would be helpful.
Best, Kevin

Hi Kevin
We would love to talk individually with anyone open to sharing their experience in "troll-spotting". We can keep the stories anonymous. We started with a more open session to initiate a conversation, moving on anyone interested in sharing more 1:1 is free to reach out to me. You can pass on my email network@wikimedia-europe.eu or link https://calendar.app.google/i4kWaxf2Fh64Kg346 to book a call with me.
Many thanks,
Van Anh
