Hi Goran,
We'll keep an eye toward consistency, but we have not made the data
extraction into a fully automated process.
We identified 3 columns that had slightly different names and we'll fix
them:
overall SIZE rank (2020) vs. overall size rank (2018, 2019)
second month editor retention (2020) vs. second-month new editor retention
(2018, 2019)
monthly structured discussions messages (2020) vs. monthly structured
discussions (Flow) messages (2018, 2019)
The "project code" column was duplicated in 2020; the duplicate has now
been removed.
Finally, in 2019 we had added 3 new columns that we hadn't tracked in
2018: content pages, cumulative content edits, edits per content page.
Please be aware that we may add or change columns in the future as needs
evolve.
Warm regards,
Kate

Digital and computational solutions are becoming the prevalent means
for the generation, communication, processing, storage and curation of
mathematical information.
CICM brings together the many separate communities that have developed
theoretical and practical solutions for mathematical applications such
as computation, deduction, knowledge management, and user interfaces.
It offers a venue for discussing problems and solutions in each of
these areas and their integration.
CICM 2021 Programme committee:
see https://www.cicm-conference.org/2021/cicm.php?event=&menu=pc
CICM 2021 invites submissions in all topics relating to intelligent
computer mathematics, in particular but not limited to
* theorem proving and computer algebra
* mathematical knowledge management
* digital mathematical libraries
CICM appreciates the varying nature of the relevant research in this
area and invites submissions of different forms:
1) Formal submissions will be reviewed rigorously and accepted papers
will be published in a volume of Springer LNCS:
* regular papers (up to 15 pages including references) present
novel research results
* project and survey papers (up to 15 pages + bibliography)
summarize existing results
* system and dataset descriptions (up to 5 pages including
references) present digital artifacts
* system entry (1 page according to the given LaTeX template)
provides metadata and a quick overview of a new tool or a new
release of an existent tool
2) Informal submissions will be reviewed with a positive bias and
selected for presentation based on their relevance for the
community.
* informal papers may present work-in-progress, project
announcements, position statements, etc.
* posters and system demos will be presented in parallel in special
sessions
3) The doctoral programme provides PhD students with a forum to
present early results and receive constructive feedback and
mentoring.
*** Important Dates ***
- Abstract deadline: March 15, 2021
- Full paper deadline: March 26, 2021
- Reviews sent to authors: May 4, 2021
- Rebuttals due: May 8, 2021
- Notification of acceptance: May 13, 2021
- Camera-ready copies due: May 29, 2021
- Conference: July 26-31, 2021
Informal submissions and doctoral programme
- Submission deadline: May 15, 2021
- Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2021
All submissions should be made via easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cicm2021
As in previous years, we will publish the CICM 2021 proceedings with
Springer LNCS.
This year, "Fair Ranking" is returning to TREC (the Text REtrieval
Conference: https://trec.nist.gov/). This is an opportunity to participate
in a "coopetition" to develop and evaluate techniques for fair ranking in
an information retrieval setting. This year the focus will be on
identifying Wikipedia articles that are relevant to WikiProjects, which is
a really interesting challenge!
== Registration
TREC is a little different from a lot of conferences - you register to
participate before you do the work, and the conference itself is presenting
on what you've done - but there's a "How to TREC" guide that will hopefully
demystify the process: https://fair-trec.github.io/how-to-trec
If you have questions, the best way is to post them to the Google group:
https://fair-trec.github.io/how-to-trec#where-can-i-ask-more-questions
It looks like there is a February 23rd deadline to submit an intention to
participate (that is non-binding though so don't hesitate to register):
https://trec.nist.gov/pubs/call2021.html
Best,
Isaac (a co-organizer of the track)

Hi all,
The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed on Wednesday, February 17,
at 9:00 AM PST/17:00 UTC (Note that this is 30 minutes earlier than the
usual time). This month’s showcase will be around the topic of censorship
(of Wikipedia). In the first talk, Daniel Romero presents a study examining
the effect of censorship on the collaborative behavior of editors. In the
second talk, Margaret Roberts presents work on disaggregating the effects
of censorship on proactive vs incidental consumption of information.
Youtube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z52wPt34rJc
As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. You
can also watch our past research showcases here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase
Talk 1:
Speaker: Daniel Romero (University of Michigan)
Title: Shocking the Crowd: The Effect of Censorship Shocks on Chinese
Wikipedia
Abstract: Collaborative crowdsourcing has become a popular approach to
organizing work across the globe. Being global also means being vulnerable
to shocks – unforeseen events that disrupt crowds – that originate from any
country. In this study, we examine changes in collaborative behavior of
editors of Chinese Wikipedia that arise due to the 2005 government
censorship in mainland China. Using the exogenous variation in the fraction
of editors blocked across different articles due to the censorship, we
examine the impact of reduction in group size, which we denote as the shock
level, on three collaborative behavior measures: volume of activity,
centralization, and conflict. We find that activity and conflict drop on
articles that face a shock, whereas centralization increases. The impact of
a shock on activity increases with shock level, whereas the impact on
centralization and conflict is higher for moderate shock levels than for
very small or very high shock levels. These findings provide support for
threat rigidity theory – originally introduced in the organizational theory
literature – in the context of large-scale collaborative crowds.
Talk 2
Speaker: Margaret Roberts (University of California San Diego)
Title: Censorship's Effect on Incidental Exposure to Information: Evidence
from Wikipedia
Abstract: The fast-growing body of research on internet censorship has
examined the effects of censoring selective pieces of political information
and the unintended consequences of censorship of entertainment. However, we
know very little about the broader consequences of coarse censorship or
censorship that affects a large array of information such as an entire
website or search engine. In this study, we use China’s complete block of
Chinese language Wikipedia (zh.wikipedia.org) on May 19, 2015, to
disaggregate the effects of coarse censorship on proactive consumption of
information—information users seek out—and on incidental consumption of
information—information users are not actively seeking but consume when
they happen to come across it. We quantify the effects of censorship of
Wikipedia not only on proactive information consumption but also on
opportunities for exploration and incidental consumption of information. We
find that users from mainland China were much more likely to consume
information on Wikipedia about politics and history incidentally rather
than proactively, suggesting that the effects of censorship on incidental
information access may be politically significant.

About the Google Summer of Code program
Wikimedia is planning to mentor 8-10 projects in 2021’s Google Summer
of Code (GSoC) program. Beginning March 9th, pending Wikimedia’s
acceptance as a mentoring organization, applicants can begin
discussing ideas with the mentors!
The student application will be due on April 13, 2021:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ [2]
Google Summer of Code, now in its 17th year, is Google's summer
program for candidates participating in any academic programs who want
to get involved in open-source software. Over 6,626 students from 121
countries have already participated in the last year’s round i.e 2020
<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2020/06/google-summer-of-code-2020-statis…>
[3]. Google Summer of Code is a unique program that pairs students
with mentors who introduce them to the open-source community and
provide guidance while they work on real-world open-source projects
during their summer break from university.
This year there are some new breaking changes in the GSoC program, including:
Smaller project size ~175 hr project (previously 350 hr)
Shortened coding period ~10 weeks long (previously 3 months)
Eligibility criteria redefined; the program is now open to candidates
participating in a variety of academic programs (previously accredited
university programs only)
Projects cover a wide range of fields including Cloud, Operating
Systems, Graphics, Medicine, Programming Languages, Robotics, Science,
Security and many more. It's a highly competitive program (and this
year is expected to be even bigger than last year), so don't wait
until the last minute to prepare!

Hi all,
The Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started 2 new
collaborations to work with us as part of the Addressing Knowledge Gaps
program [1]. We are thankful to them for agreeing to spend their time and
expertise on these projects in the coming 5 months.
Ai-jou (Aiko) Chou started as a contractor with the Research team on
February 1st. Based in Taiwan, she will be working on improving the Image
Recommendation algorithm [2], to find good images for unillustrated
Wikipedia articles, and support its productization. She will additionally
work on longer-term projects related to image recommendations, such as the
development of image classifiers trained on Commons categories [3].
Marc Miquel started as a contractor with the Research team on January 26th.
He will be working on the taxonomy of knowledge gaps [4], specifically in
developing metrics for gaps related to content (gender, geography, etc.)
[5]. Marc brings extensive experience in this space from his work on the
Cultural Diversity Observatory [6].
We aim to keep the research documentation for these projects in the
corresponding research pages on meta [3,5]. Miriam Redi and I will act as
the point of contact for these projects in the Wikimedia Foundation. Please
feel free to reach out to us if you have comments or questions about the
project (directly, if it cannot be shared publicly) .
Best,
Miriam and Martin

Hi everyone,
WikiCred Demo Hour is hosting a special Q&A Session with Mark Graham,
Director at Internet Archive and the WayBack Machine on Feb 12th EST.
This is everything you always wanted to ask about the Internet Archive, and
the Wayback Machine, but were too afraid to ask. Mark Graham will give a
quick overview of some of the Internet Archive's projects and priorities
and engage with questions, suggestions, requests, and constructive
criticism about the work of this nearly 25 year old non-profit. Mark is
especially interested in learning about how the organization can evolve its
services to be of most benefit to more people.
