Data for "Why the world reads Wikipedia"
by Dakota Killpack 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

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

Question on article creation policy
by Haifeng Zhang 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

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
