Aaron and Max! Thanks so much for your work on this. I have sent over
the methods and data to Stanford and they're excited about
incorporating this into a full study. You are awesome. Jake (Ocaasi)

I also can help in extracting PMID's from the Wikipedia articles. What else
do you need? Just PMIDs?

think might be interested! ]
Greetings Fellow Wiki Researchers!
Along with fellow Wikimedians Jonathan Morgan and Frances Hocutt (and
many others), I am helping run three and a half day-long workshops in
November for anyone interested in learning how to use programming and
data science tools to ask and answer questions about online
communities with a strong focus on doing research on Wikipedia. This
will be a new and improved version of the workshops we ran
successfully earlier this year.
You will need to be in Seattle to participate or volunteer in our
workshops. That said, you can /totally/ build on our curriculum to run
your own workshops. One group in Waterloo already has! Details on how
to do that are online (http://mako.cc/go/03) and we'd be happy to
help!
If you /are/ in Seattle...
The workshops are for people with no previous programming experience
and will be free of charge and open to anyone.
Our goal is that, after the three workshops, participants will be able
to use data to produce numbers, hypothesis tests, tables, and
graphical visualizations to answer questions like:
- Are new contributors to an article in Wikipedia sticking around
longer or contributing more than people who joined last year?
- Who are the most active or influential users of a particular
Twitter hashtag?
- Are people who participated in a Wikipedia outreach event staying
involved? How do they compare to people that joined the project
outside of the event?
Details and dates are online here:
http://networkcollectiv.es/2014/10/16/cdsw-november-2014/
If you are interested in participating, fill out our registration at
the link above before October 30th.
If you already know how to program in Python, it would be really
awesome if you would volunteer as a mentor! Being a mentor will
involve working with participants and talking them through the
challenges they encounter in programming. No special preparation is
required. If you’re interested, send me an email.
Regards,
Mako

Dear colleagues,
As you may have heard,
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Editor_Interaction_Data_Extracti…
is an individual engagement grant proposal. I am working on this proposal
with volunteer assistance and advice from Aaron Halfaker (WMF), Haitham
Shammaa (WMF), and Fabian Flöck (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlsruhe_Institute_of_Technology>).
We are still developing this proposal, and plan to have it finalized in the
next few days.
We would greatly appreciate your comments on whether you support or oppose
the general concept of this project, and any suggestions about how to
refine the proposal.
Additionally, we would like to hear from you about which sets of editor
interaction data, and what visualizations of editor interaction data, would
be most relevant to your interests. We intend to prioritize our outputs
with your comments in mind.
Please comment on the proposal talk page. Questions and feedback, both
positive and critical, are helpful to us as the proposers, and also help
the Individual Engagement Grants Committee [1] to assess the proposal.
Regards,
Pine
[1] I am a member of the Individual Engagement Grants Committee. I am
recusing from reviewing proposals in this funding round.
Thanks Rachel. I'm forwarding this invite to other lists.

After a break in September, we’re resuming our monthly Research and Data showcase. The next showcase will be live-streamed tomorrow Wednesday October 15 at 11.30 PT. As usual you can join the conversation via IRC on freenode.net by joining the #wikimedia-research channel.
We look forward to seeing you there,
Dario
This month:
Emotions under Discussion: Gender, Status and Communication in Wikipedia
By David Laniado: I will present a large-scale analysis of emotional expression and communication style of editors in Wikipedia discussions. The talk will focus especially on how emotion and dialogue differ depending on the status, gender, and the communication network of the about 12000 editors who have written at least 100 comments on the English Wikipedia's article talk pages. The analysis is based on three different predefined lexicon-based methods for quantifying emotions: ANEW, LIWC and SentiStrength. The results unveil significant differences in the emotional expression and communication style of editors according to their status and gender, and can help to address issues such as gender gap and editor stagnation.
Wikipedia as a socio-technical system
By Aaron Halfaker: Wikipedia is a socio-technical system. In this presentation, I'll explain how the integration of human collective behavior ("social") and information technology ("technical") has lead to a phenomena that, while being massively productive, is poorly understood due to lack of precedence. Based on my work in this area, I'll describe five critical functions that healthy, Wikipedia-like socio-technical systems must serve in order to continue to function: allocation, regulation, quality control, community management and reflection. Next I'll argue the Wikimedia Foundation's analytics strategy currently focuses on outcomes related to a relatively narrow aspect of system health and all but completely ignores productivity. Finally, I'll conclude with an overview of three classes of new projects that should provide critical opportunities to both practically and academically understand the maintenance of Wikipedia's socio-technical fitness.
Ada Lovelace Day is celebrated on October 14 this year.
Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (born in the year 1815) was a
mathematician and computer programmer who worked on Charles Babbage's
Analytical Engine. She foresaw how computers could evolve into devices that
perform tasks more sophisticated than simple calculations. She is
controversially credited with authoring the world's first computer
program, and certainly worked extensively with Babbage. [1]
Ada Lovelace Day celebrates women's contributions to science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics.
Wikimedia Commons, English Wikipedia, and Persian Wikipedia have designated
a watercolor portrait of Lovelace as a featured picture. [2]
Happy Ada Lovelace Day,
Pine

Thanks for this. I'm forwarding to the Analytics and Research lists.
