Wikipedia Research policy
by song＠cs.umn.edu 14 Jul '23

14 Jul '23

Pursuant to prior discussions about the need for a research policy on Wikipedia, WikiProject Research is drafting a policy regarding the recruitment of Wikipedia users to participate in studies. At this time, we have a proposed policy, and an accompanying group that would facilitate recruitment of subjects in much the same way that the Bot Approvals Group approves bots. The policy proposal can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Research The Subject Recruitment Approvals Group mentioned in the proposal is being described at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Subject_Recruitment_Approvals_Group Before we move forward with seeking approval from the Wikipedia community, we would like additional input about the proposal, and would welcome additional help improving it. Also, please consider participating in WikiProject Research at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Research -- Bryan Song GroupLens Research University of Minnesota

Statistics on wiki page editing/creation by country?
by alina ostling 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Hi! I am doing a PhD on online civic participation project (e-participation). Within my research, I have carried out a user survey, where I asked how many people ever edited/created a page on a Wiki. Now I would like to compare the results with the overall rate of wiki editing/creation on country level. I've found some country-level statistics on Wikipedia Statistics (e.g. 3,000 editors of Wikipedia articles in Italy) but data for UK and France are not available since Wikipedia provides statistics by languages, not by countries. I'm thus looking for statistics on UK and France (but am also interested in alternative ways of measuring wiki editing/creation in Sweden and Italy). I would be grateful for any tips! Sunny regards, Alina -- Alina ÖSTLING PhD Candidate European University Institute www.eui.eu

Looking for example of experts contribution fails
by Pierre Willaime 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hi, I'm looking for data to conduit a academic inquiry. More precisely, I would like to study examples of scientists who tried to contribute to Wikipedia but quit and have spoken about it. Are you aware of such feedbacks? I'm also interested by the Wikipedia community reactions. Thanks -- Pierre Willaime http://p.willaime.free.fr/

CSCW 2015: Call for participation
by Dario Taraborelli 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

CSCW is a major venue for open collaboration research. Every year the conference features some of the best studies of collaborative systems (including wiki and Wikipedia research [1 -3]). If you are active in this space, please consider submitting a paper or poster, hosting a workshop or organizing a panel at the forthcoming conference in Vancouver. The call for participation with the relevant deadlines is below. Dario [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2014/February [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2013/March [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2012/February ————————————————— CSCW 2015 | Call for Participation March 14-18, 2015 | Vancouver, BC, Canada http://cscw.acm.org The ACM conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing is the premier venue for research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, communities, and networks. Bringing together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in the area of social computing, CSCW addresses both the technical and social challenges encountered when supporting collaboration. The development and application of new technologies continues to enable new ways of working together and coordinating activities. The conference offers several types of submissions with the following deadlines. Papers: June 4, 2014 Workshops proposals: August 8, 2014 Interactive Posters: November 10, 2014 Panels: November 10, 2014 Doctoral Colloquium: November 10, 2014 Demonstrations: December 12, 2014 See the individual calls at http://cscw.acm.org/2015/submit/ for more details. The scope of CSCW spans socio-technical domains including work, home, education, healthcare, the arts, leisure, and entertainment. The conference seeks novel research results or new ways of thinking about, studying, or supporting shared activities in these and related areas: ▪ Social and crowd computing. Studies, theories, designs, mechanisms, systems, and/or infrastructures addressing social media, social networking, wikis, blogs, online gaming, crowdsourcing, collective intelligence, virtual worlds or collaborative information behaviors. ▪ System Design. Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that enable the building of new social and collaborative systems and experiences. ▪ Theories. Critical analysis or theory with clear relevance to the design or study of social and collaborative systems. ▪ Empirical investigations. Findings, guidelines, and/or studies related to communication, collaboration, and social technologies, practices, or use. CSCW welcomes diverse methods and approaches. ▪ Mining and Modeling. Studies, analyses and infrastructures for making use of large- and small-scale data. ▪ Methodologies and tools. Novel methods or combinations of approaches and tools used in building systems or studying their use. ▪ Domain-specific social and collaborative applications. Including applications to healthcare, transportation, gaming, ICT4D, sustainability, education, accessibility, global collaboration, or other domains. ▪ Collaboration systems based on emerging technologies. Mobile and ubiquitous computing, game engines, virtual worlds, multi-touch, novel display technologies, vision and gesture recognition, big data, MOOCs, crowd labor markets, SNSs, or sensing systems. ▪ Crossing boundaries. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across disciplines, distance, languages, generations, and cultures, to help better understand how to transcend social, temporal, and/or spatial boundaries.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Collecting Keywords in wikipedia page(s)
by Dr. Nick Lee 24 Mar '14

Hello All, Thanks to Nemo for the answer. However, it does not help what I need. Let me ask one more time. Can you name any tool/solution that will get all the keywords in a wikipedia page? Or, can you please help me where I can get the Wikipedia API that gets me all the keywords in a page? Thanks for any help in advance. Nick.

Collecting Keywords in wikipedia page(s)
by Dr. Nick Lee 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hello All, Greetings! I just joined the group. Sorry if this question is something that is frequent and redundant. I have been collecting keywords in Wikipedia pages to compute the frequencies and to build the related ontology sets. I have been using a tool called Condor but it was not really helpful because it limits the number of keywords. The question is this: Does any of you have suggestions for a tool to use to collect keywords in Wikipedia pages? Any suggestion will be very very very much appreciated. Nick.

published articles about Wikipedia translation
by Amir E. Aharoni 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi, Is there any list of academic studies of Wikimedia projects sorted or tagged by topic? In particular I'm interested in anything to do with translation, but it is useful for other topics as well. The best thing that I could think of now is going to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academic_studies_of_Wikipedia and searching the page for "translation". Is there a more structured way? Thanks! -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬
