Hi all,
I am trying to do some analysis of the data from the "Why the world reads
Wikipedia" project, downloaded from here:
https://figshare.com/articles/Why_the_World_Reads_Wikipedia/7579937/1
Unfortunately, it looks the page titles were written incorrectly in the
'responses' csv files, with non-ASCII characters are written as ?. This is
making it impossible to examine anything other than enwiki.
>From what I can gather, the data is actually missing:
https://pastebin.com/bTh4BUV9
Is there anywhere where I can get access to a corrected version of this
dataset?
Regards,
Dakota Killpack

Dear all,
Is there an easy way to get the number of articles deleted over time (e.g., month) in Wikipedia?
Can I use Quarry? What tables should I use?
Thanks,
Haifeng Zhang
Dear folks,
I'm checking the Article Creation page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_creation), and it says:
The ability to create articles directly in mainspace is restricted<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ACPERM> to autoconfirmed users, though non-confirmed users and non-registered users can submit a proposed article through the Articles for Creation<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation> process, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication.
Anyone knows when the restriction (e.g., registered and auto-confirmed) become effective? I tracked the past revisions of the page but found no clue. A more general question is: where to find information about policy changes, e.g., article creation, in Wikipedia?
Thanks,
Haifeng
This looks interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm cross-posting this to
