wikipedia articles and google rank
by Piotr Konieczny 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

So it is no surprise when Wikipedia article comes up high in google ranking. But occasionally a Wikipedia article will NOT be highly ranked, and will appear only in google 20-30+ or even further down the line . Any idea what makes Google dislike certain Wikipedia articles? I don't think time should be a factor, google crawls Wikipedia very often, I've had new articles of mine appear in searches within hours, sometimes minutes, of being published. One factor I know of is language, but for this question let's assume English language article, searched for using English language google front. -- Piotr Konieczny

Citizendium full XML dump: 168, 262 pages and 753, 651 revisions
by emijrp 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi; I think this is the first time a full XML dump of Citizendium is publicly available[1] (CZ offers dumps but only the last revision for each article[2], and our previously efforts generated corrupted and incomplete dumps). It contains 168,262 pages and 753,651 revisions (9 GB, 99 MB in 7z). I think it may be useful for researchers, including quality analysis. It was generated using WikiTeam tools.[3] This is part of our task force to make backups of thousands of wikis around the Internet.[4] Regards, emijrp [1] http://archive.org/details/wiki-encitizendiumorg [2] http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Downloads [3] http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/ [4] http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/AvailableBackups -- Emilio J.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] [Wikimedia-l] Copy and paste
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

How hard would it be to set up a tool like the software that as far as I know the MIT uses to automatically check plagiarism among thesis etc. submitted to their digital library, checking the text of all Wikimedia projects against e.g. newspaper websites and Google Books, and then publishing the results in some visually appealing way to show how much newspapers copy from Wikipedia and each other? On it.wiki we regularly see complaints and unhappy discussions about newspaper articles which are just a copy and paste from Wikipedia and still feature a "COPY RESERVED" warning without citing any source... newspapers are by definition arrogant, so nothing can be done to stop them, but an informative tool would be useful and might be as effective as wikiscanner was with regard to IP editing from organizations.

Hello Dario and All, I thought that the Wiki research community might be interested in some recent work that my colleague and I have completed. The work is entitled: "The Theory of Crowd Capital", and Wikipedia (among other exemplars) figures prominently in it's conception. If you're interested to have a look, you can find it here in preprint form: http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.2013 If any of you are going to HICSS #46 in the new year, let me know, as it'd be cool to meet up in 4 dimensions :) Best, John ----- Original Message ----- From: wiki-research-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org To: wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Sent: Wednesday, 10 October, 2012 05:00:20 Subject: Wiki-research-l Digest, Vol 86, Issue 6 Send Wiki-research-l mailing list submissions to wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wiki-research-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org You can reach the person managing the list at wiki-research-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Wiki-research-l digest..."

new dataset: active Wikipedia editors' preferences

Dario Taraborelli has kindly made a detailed dataset of preferences available. He can chime in with details if needed. The dataset can be found here: http://thedatahub.org/dataset/wikipedia-user-preferences These datasets capture the following: - user_properties set to '' from the default -> active_prefs_0 - user_properties set to 1 from the default -> active_prefs_1 -> NOTE: This can be very misleading for non-boolean prefs - user_properties set to !='' from the default -> active_prefs_all This is based on a dataset of _active_ users which is included. Unchanged prefs aren't included, specific non-boolean settings aren't included, and prefs with < 5 users aren't included. This is en.wp, other languages to follow. Note there's all kinds of funkiness with how prefs may be serialized to the DB - prefs names and defaults may have changed, prefs may have been removed, and some stuff is serialized when it doesn't need to be (suggesting that prefs have been changed, when in fact the user has just performed a pref save). But for a lot of the more obscure prefs this should be good initial guidance.
