Here's an interdisciplinary group of researchers that work on things that I
thought would be relevant and interesting to a lot of us who study
Wikipedia: http://themaintainers.org
Cheers,

Hello Wikiresearchers,
I wondered who of us is at Wikimania (maybe there is a subpage somewhere to
write one’s names in?)
I would be particularly interested in meeting with people who use
qualitative and ethnographic methods, but I don't mind a chat about
statistics either :-)

Mostly ethnographic and qualitative work here. I'll be talking about my
recent research project at Wikimania, as well as I'd love to meet other
researchers.

Hi Everyone,
The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed this Wednesday, July 26,
2017 at 11:30 AM (PST) 18:30 UTC.
YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC1jgK8C8aQ
As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. And,
you can watch our past research showcases here
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#July_2017>.
This month's presentation:
Freedom versus Standardization: Structured Data Generation in a Peer
Production CommunityBy *Andrew Hall*In addition to encyclopedia articles
and software, peer production communities produce *structured data*, e.g.,
Wikidata and OpenStreetMap’s metadata. Structured data from peer production
communities has become increasingly important due to its use by
computational applications, such as CartoCSS, MapBox, and Wikipedia
infoboxes. However, this structured data is usable by applications only if
it follows *standards.* We did an interview study focused on
OpenStreetMap’s knowledge production processes to investigate how – and how
successfully – this community creates and applies its data standards. Our
study revealed a fundamental tension between the need to produce structured
data in a standardized way and OpenStreetMap’s tradition of contributor
freedom. We extracted six themes that manifested this tension and three
overarching concepts, *correctness, community,* and *code,* which help make
sense of and synthesize the themes. We also offer suggestions for improving
OpenStreetMap’s knowledge production processes, including new data models,
sociotechnical tools, and community practices.
Kindly,

Hi everyone,
We’re preparing for the May 2017 research newsletter and looking for contributors. Please take a look at:
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WRN201705 and add your name next to any paper you are interested in covering. Our target publication date is Friday August 4 UTC although actual publication might take place several days later. As usual, short notes and one-paragraph reviews are most welcome.
Highlights from this month:
• “A wound that has been festering since 2007”: The Burma/Myanmar naming controversy and the problem of rarely challenged assumptions on Wikipedia
• An algorithm designed to expand Wikipedia in all languages
• A productive clash of perspectives? The interplay between articles’ and authors’ perspectives and their impact on Wikipedia edits in a controversial domain
• Analysing Timelines of National Histories across Wikipedia Editions: A Comparative Computational Approach
• Automatic Classification of Wikipedia Articles by Using Convolutional Neural Network
• Conclusion: So, what is the gender breakdown of heads of government?
• Connecting the sum of all human knowledge, one edit at a time
• Cumulative Experience and Recent Behavior and their Relation to Content Quality on Wikipedia
• Cyberfeminism on Wikipedia: Visibility and deliberation in feminist Wikiprojects
• Do wikipedia science articles reflect on state-of-the-art research?
• Embracing Wikipedia as a teaching and learning tool benefits health professional schools and the populations they serve
• Estimating the Quality of Articles in Russian Wikipedia Using the Logical-Linguistic Model of Fact Extraction
• How Does Knowledge Come By?
• Information Has Value: A View from Three Institutions
• Nation image and its dynamic changes in Wikipedia
• Projects Wikisource and Wikibooks as information resource
• Student perceptions of writing with Wikipedia in Australian higher education
• Wikipedia Controversial Articles by Size of Controversy Section
• Wikipedia Matters
