Hi Pine,
These are great pointers to existing practices on enwiki, some of which
I've been looking for and/or missed, thanks!
Cheers,
Morten

Hi Nettrom,
A few resources from English Wikipedia regarding article importance as
ranked by humans:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vital_articles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_
Editorial_Team/Release_Version_Criteria#Priority_of_topic
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_assessment#Statistics
I infer from the ENWP Wikicup's scoring protocol that for purposes of the
competition, an article's "importance" is loosely inferred from the number
of language editions of Wikipedia in which the article appears:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Bonus_points.
HTH,
Pine

Hello everyone,
I am currently working with Aaron Halfaker and Dario Taraborelli at the
Wikimedia Foundation on a project exploring automated classification of
article importance. Our goal is to characterize the importance of an
article within a given context and design a system to predict a relative
importance rank. We have a project page on meta[1] and welcome comments
or
thoughts on our talk page. You can of course also
respond here on
wiki-research-l, or send me an email.
Before moving on to model-building I did a fairly thorough literature
review, finding a myriad of papers spanning several disciplines. We have
a
draft literature review also up on meta[2], which
should give you a
reasonable introduction to the topic. Again, comments or thoughts (e.g.
papers we’ve missed) on the talk page, mailing list, or through email are
welcome.
