Dear Mr. or Ms., I thank you for your answer. I thank you as well for your interest in my research work. For those who cannot attend the meeting in 11AM GMT, they can attend a second meeting in 3PM GMT. If you would like to participate to the second meeting, please just inform me about that and I will send you my username. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki ________________________________ De : Wikimedia-Medicine <wikimedia-medicine-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org> de la part de Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod(a)worlduniversityandschool.org> Envoyé : vendredi 17 août 2018 18:12 À : Wiki Medicine discussion Cc : Wikidata technical discussion; Discussion list for the Wikidata project.; wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Objet : Re: [Wiki-Medicine] Invitation to discuss RiskData:, Wikidata as a high-scale database of risk factors for human diseases Hi Nancy, Houcemeddine, Wiki Medicine and Wikimedians, Thanks for your emails. I thought that you had written 11am PDT and not 11am GMT on Saturday, August 18th, Houcemeddine, so unfortunately I can NOT make this time (http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/). Please keep me posted if you decide to meet again at a different time. Thank you. Sincerely, Scott Scott_WUaS Dear Mr. Houcemeddine Turki, WikiMedicine, Wikidatans (and Wikimedians), I would like to participate in this Skype conference (and with regard too to WUaS's planned online medical schools, with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care - planned in each of all ~200 countries' official and main languages). Please send me your Skype username off-list. Thank you, Houcemeddine. ... Here's the beginning online Medical School at WUaS in English - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_Sch… - which will connect with Wikidata as its "backend" eventually. And WUaS also seeks to emerge out of Stanford Medicine and with OpenCourseWare in multiple languages for our medical schools.

Quick question about editing restrictions on particular pages
by Misha Teplitskiy 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Dear list, I am curious if there's an automated way to see whether (and when) particular pages had restrictions placed on editing activity. For example, at the top of the Donald Trump talk page we see a few such restrictions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Donald_Trump Do the XML database dumps contain these? Is there a list of the full set of possible restrictions? Many thanks, Misha -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Misha Teplitskiy Postdoctoral Fellow Laboratory for Innovation Science Harvard University www.mishateplitskiy.com

Wikimedia Research Showcase August 13 2018 at 11:30 AM (PDT) 18:30 UTC
by Sarah R 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi Everyone, The next Wikimedia Research Showcase will be live-streamed Wednesday, August 13 2018 at 11:30 AM (PDT) 18:30 UTC. YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGPMS4YGDMk 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#Upcoming_Showcase> Hope to see you there! This month's presentations is: *Quicksilver: Training an ML system to generate draft Wikipedia articles and Wikidata entries simultaneously* John Bohannon and Vedant Dharnidharka, Primer The automatic generation and updating of Wikipedia articles is usually approached as a multi-document summarization task: Given a set of source documents containing information about an entity, summarize the entity. Purely sequence-to-sequence neural models can pull that off, but getting enough data to train them is a challenge. Wikipedia articles and their reference documents can be used for training, as was recently done <https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.10198> by a team at Google AI. But how do you find new source documents for new entities? And besides having humans read all of the source documents, how do you fact-check the output? What is needed is a self-updating knowledge base that learns jointly with a summarization model, keeping track of data provenance. Lucky for us, the world’s most comprehensive public encyclopedia is tightly coupled with Wikidata, the world’s most comprehensive public knowledge base. We have built a system called Quicksilver uses them both.

Users across all Wikimedia projects
by Piscopo A. 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hello everyone, I would like to carry out a study about how users work across different projects in the Wikimedia ecosystem. I can’t find any dataset containing all usernames and user ids across all the projects, or at least those with a global account. I’ve tried with quarry, but the query to get all the data from it is too big and is not really a solution. Can anybody point me to some resource I can download and process myself, e.g. a global account user dataset, or the whole user database table that can be queried in quarry? Thanks, Alessandro ––– Alessandro Piscopo Web and Internet Science Group School of Electronics and Computer Science University of Southampton email: A.Piscopo(a)soton.ac.uk<mailto:A.Piscopo@soton.ac.uk>

Wiki-Sul
by Felipe da Fonseca 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Dear Wikimedians, I am working as an ambassador at UFSC (Federal University of Santa Catarina) in Brazil. At UFSC we are developing projects with the department of History for development articles,[1] <#_ftn1> with the museum at UFSC[2] <#_ftn2> and we are trying to start projects with the UFSC museum. In addition, we will also organize this year's congress in the area of Wikipedia and Education, and the congress will also work as a catalyzer for the organization of a group of users (not recognized) in the south of Brazil called Wiki-Sul. I write to ask for help because we intend to establish a research group on Wikipedia in the area of Human Sciences, we would like to know what the current state of the art, so ask for opinion and research ideas. When we talk about research on Wikipedia we refer to the formation of a meta-discourse, exploring questions of reliability, notoriety, acceptability, pedagogical use, etc. Best, Felipe https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio:Felipe_da_Fonseca ------------------------------ [1] <#_ftnref1> https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Outreach_Dashboard/UFSC/Teoria… http://nepemi.sites.ufsc.br/projeto-teoria-da-historia-na-wikipedia/ https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/wikisul_/programs [2] <#_ftnref2> http://portal.bu.ufsc.br/conheca-a-bu/comissoes-de-trabalho/fake-news/
