[Pywikipedia-l] TREC KBA - Mining Content Streams to Recommend Page Updates to Editors
by John R. Frank 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

PyWikipedians, Regardless of whether this talk gets accepted at Wikimania, we would like to talk with anyone interested in building this kind of bot. Please contact me off-list if this is your kind of thing. -jrf http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/TREC-KBA-Mining-Content… TREC KBA - Mining Content Streams to Recommend Page Updates to Editors Abstract: We have organized a new session in NIST's Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) called Knowledge Base Acceleration (KBA). TREC KBA challenges computer science researchers to develop algorithms that mine content streams, such as news and blogs, to recommend edits to knowledge bases (KB), such as Wikipedia. We consider a KB to be "large" if the number of entities described by the KB is larger than the number of humans maintaining the KB. As entities change and evolve in the real world, large KBs often lag behind by months or years. Such large KBs are an increasingly important tool in several industries, including biomedical research, law enforcement, and financial services. TREC KBA aims to develop algorithms for helping KB editors stay abreast of changes to the organizations, people, proteins, and other entities described by their KBs. In this talk, we will give an overview of the TREC KBA data sets and tasks for 2012 and future years. In addition to developing text analytics, we are also working on a wikipedia bot for connecting KBA-type systems to users' talk pages in mediawiki. After presenting the current state of our bot development, we hope to engage the audience in an open discussion about how such algorithms might be most fruitfully employed in the Wikipedia community. http://trec-kba.org/ (If you want this talk to get accepted in Wikimania this July, consider putting your name on the "interested" list in the wiki linked above.)

[Pywikipedia-l] Identifying pages edited by exactly one user.
by Chris Watkins 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Is it possible for Pywikipediabot to access the number of editors of a certain page? Or at least, whether there has been more than one editor? If not, is there another tool I can use to create a list of pages on a wiki with only one editor? I think there are quite a few old spam pages on our wiki, mainly in "User talk" space. A helpful script to identify them would be of the form: If (number of editors == 1) then replace "(*.http://.*)" with "{{delete\|tagged by ChriswaterguyBot as possible spam.}}\\1" Or, if there's another tool that can do the first part (produce a list of pages with only one editor) then replace.py can do the rest. Any suggestions? (If we could also check whether that user has edited any other pages, that would be wonderful... but that might be asking a bit much.) Thanks -- Chris Watkins Appropedia.org - Sharing knowledge to build rich, sustainable lives.

[Pywikipedia-l] Uncategorising Commons pictures on a wiki
by Bináris 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Hi, we have a diligent editor who puts defaultsorts and categories onto file description pages whose files are in Commons, not in huwiki. We tend to remove these cats and defsorts. So we have to review description pages of non-existing files for categories. Do we have any tool for this task, or do I have to write it from the base? -- Bináris

(I should add -- also there would be complications if somehow lots of Wikimedia people get their talks accepted and I can't budget to subsidize all of them, or you can't get a visa to the US in time, or some unforeseen thing comes up like that. But I don't predict those problems happening.) -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

Hi all, this is the great year for Wikidata and there is a big commotion around it. We'll have a lot of task with it and some of you may consider worth to subscribe to wikidata-l and see what's going on there. https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l For an overview of the project see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata. -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Setting sleep time by family
by Bináris 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

I have a local wiki on my computer, Pywikibot naturally supplied. :-) I want to tell the bot not to sleep when it is time to work. I will sleep in the night and that's what I expect the bot to do. How can I tell the bot in config that for 'local' family it should *never*sleep and wait and throttle and lag? -- Bináris
