Can we please have some baseline standards for sharing research
without any paywalls or requests for personal information?

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your support to my Wikimedia grant. This is an honour of me. Upon the request of Mr. Federico Leva, I share with you my paper that will be presented in AICCSA 2017. It is currently available in https://1drv.ms/w/s!AiC69hcGxSVPl1UI1SV81mkr2uVu. However, the paper requires to be adjusted. As you can see below, the reviewers have already asked me to do several important adjustments. If someone would like to adjust the paper, he is invited to directly adjust the paper in OneDrive or offline or to reply to this email and explain his proposal. As for the proposal of Mr. Leva, I liked it and I ask if he can give me some details about how to apply it to my research paper. As for the grant, it is still open and that is why I invite you to endorse it in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Csisc/Presenting_Wikid….<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Csisc/Presenting_Wikid…> This will help me to have the grant to attend this ERA C Class conference.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki

----------------------- REVIEW 1 ---------------------
PAPER: 3
TITLE: Using WikiData to create a multi-lingual multi-dialectal dictionary for Arabic dialects
AUTHORS: Houcemeddine Turki, Denny Vrandečić, Helmi Hamdi and Imed Adel
Overall evaluation: 1 (weak accept)
----------- Overall evaluation -----------
It is an interesting work with valid assumption and its proposed ideas also in line with the expectation of the event. Overall, I think, this paper is interesting and has good contribution to this topic. However, the authors are advised to have the following points on their revised version:
-Please elaborate in details about the proposed approach with more focusing on the relations between its components, as they are the core of the solution and need more justification of why to use them.
-Overall technical exposition must be strengthened with more concrete examples.
-The authors are urged to summarize and list the key observations from the paper.
-The paper is readable but a language improvement using a native speaker is recommended.
-Some minor editorial issue, like enhancing the plots quality, the equations, etc...
-Many reference are with *incomplete* bibliographic information (like lack of publication venue, for instance). This must be corrected.
In summery, it a well prepared paper.
----------------------- REVIEW 2 ---------------------
PAPER: 3
TITLE: Using WikiData to create a multi-lingual multi-dialectal dictionary for Arabic dialects
AUTHORS: Houcemeddine Turki, Denny Vrandečić, Helmi Hamdi and Imed Adel
Overall evaluation: 0 (borderline paper)
----------- Overall evaluation -----------
The paper technical content is very marginal, the paper has many language and editorial issue,
a better results presentation and figs quality are needed. i guess the paper is not ready for publication yet.
Other issues to be considered too:
- The paper lacks clarity in motivating the proposed research and in stating its expected outcome
- the review of the state of the art lacks an analysis of the existing work and the positioning of the research in the state of the art
- The methodology is too general and does not convincingly show the feasibility of the proposed approach
- the research lacks a concrete illustration on a case study.
recommendation to the authors
- to clearly state the objective of the research in terms of problems to address and expected results and show how the proposed research will advance the state of the art by
overcoming the limitations of the existing work
- to preset an analysis of the state of the art and discuss the benefits/limitations of the existing approaches with respect to the addressed research problem
- to be more precise in the description of the methodology and show how the methodology would achieve the stated objectives
- to discuss the future plans with respect to the research state of progress and its limitations
There is serious issue with many editorials in the paper that need to be fixed, many of the figs are fuzzy and need to be reconsidered again.
Hi Everyone,
The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed this Wednesday, August 23,
2017 at 11:30 AM (PST) 18:30 UTC.
YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa0Ztv2iF4w
As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. And,
you can watch our past research showcases here

This month's presentation:
Sneha Narayan (Northwestern University)
*The Wikipedia Adventure: Field Evaluation of an Interactive Tutorial for
New Users*
Integrating new users into a community with complex norms presents a
challenge for peer production projects like Wikipedia. We present The
Wikipedia Adventure (TWA): an interactive tutorial that offers a structured
and gamified introduction to Wikipedia. In addition to describing the
design of the system, we present two empirical evaluations. First, we
report on a survey of users, who responded very positively to the tutorial.
Second, we report results from a large-scale invitation-based field
experiment that tests whether using TWA increased newcomers' subsequent
contributions to Wikipedia. We find no effect of either using the tutorial
or of being invited to do so over a period of 180 days. We conclude that
TWA produces a positive socialization experience for those who choose to
use it, but that it does not alter patterns of newcomer activity. We
reflect on the implications of these mixed results for the evaluation of
similar social computing systems.

*The Gene Wiki: Using Wikipedia and Wikidata to organize biomedical
knowledge*
The Gene Wiki project began in 2007 with the goal of creating a
collaboratively-written, community-reviewed, and continuously-updated
review article for every human gene within Wikipedia. In 2013, shortly
after the creation of the Wikidata project, the project expanded to include
the organization and integration of structured biomedical data. This talk
will focus on our current and future work, including efforts to encourage
contributions from biomedical domain experts, to build custom applications
that use Wikidata as the back-end knowledge base, and to promote
CC0-licensing among biomedical knowledge resources. Comments, feedback and
contributions are welcome at https://github.com/SuLab/genewikicentral and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/WD:MB.

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I was accepted several days ago to present my paper about using Wikidata in Arabic Natural Language Processing in AICCSA. AICCSA is an ERA C Class international conference that is attended by hundreds of researchers each year. As I cannot pay the registration and accomodation fees for the conference, I applied for a rapid grant from Wikimedia Foundation. I ask if you can endorse my application available in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Csisc/Presenting_Wikid… so that I will not cancel my participation to this international conference due to the lack of means.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
Hoi,
I am quite confident that this has been researched elsewhere..
* What error rate can you expect from manual edits in a repository like
Wikidata (well intended contributors)
* What error rate can you expect from bot edits in a repository like
Wikidata (run by well intended operators)
Two observations this may include errors from the original data source ie
no operational errors - when this effect has been excluded .. what error
rate remains ?
Thanks,
GerardM
PS it helps with an argument where people do not appreciate that anyone
makes mistakes.. I have understood that the error rate is around 6%..
