Hello, all.
After receiving the feedback from our presentation of the status of Flagged-Revision study
in Wikimania 2010, we now need some help from the community to finalize this challenging
project.
Our purpose is to compare the patters we have identified for vandalism revertion in GE
Wikipedia with 2 other communities also using Flagged-Revisions, namely Polish and Russian
Wikipedias.
So, we would need:
* If there exist a list of well-known tags added to the comments field whenever a revert
is performed in any of these 2 editions.
* If so, a list of matching words or tags we should look for using regexps to identify
such reverts.
* Any other useful hints (like tags that show up frequently but whose meaning could change
depending on subsequent words).
Any comment tag identifying a revert is useful, but we're mainly focused on vandalism
revert.
That's also why we are not currently using the MD5 hash approach (we do need to
differentiate among different types of reverts, not only detect them).
Please, forward this message to any relevant mailing list where local wikimedians
contributing to these languages could help us.
You can answer to the list, or directly to this email account.
Thanks in advance.
Felipe.
