Hello everyone,
Could you please let me know of Wikimedia research initiatives about the coronavirus crisis?
Is there anyone in the Wikimedia community interested in collaboration for the different AI/ML/NLP challenges ?

Gerard,
It's a pilot, so it's not available for other wikis yet. If we receive community feedback that indicates that the resource is welcome and is being used, we will definitely lobby for making this resource available for all wikis, on a long-term basis.
If you would like to see this resource maintained, experiment with it and provide feedback < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Social_media_traffic_report_pi...

Hi Jonathan
This is really great, my initial thought is these metrics describe part of the role Wikipedia is playing in combating disinformation/fake news, reliable sources etc. You link to this in your email to the Mashable article but this isn't described on the meta page. This is a very popular topic of research and I'm sure would be interesting to people researching this and would help people to find it.

Stuart,
This is possible. I talked to Isaac Johnson about this today. Basically, we'd need to build a regularly-updated database of articles-by-wikiproject (by parsing the wikiproject template on the talkpage, say). Then we could list all wikiprojects associated with each article and/or create some bot that notified each wikiproject if an article within its scope exceeded some traffic parameter.
But this is a lot of work, but I've captured the proposal here < https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Research_talk:Social_media_traf...
for future reference. Thanks!
Jonathan

My immediate thought is how to connect this to the wiki projects for each article, because wiki projects are the primary sources of expert
knowledge
and have the resources to deal with many issues.

Hi Ludovic,
Thanks for kicking off this thread. :)
An update on the Wikimedia Foundation's Research team end on this front (and by no means we're the only players in the field, there are many researchers on this mailing list who may want to share more about what they're doing in this space):
* I will send an email to this list sometime during the next week about what the Research team intends to spend resources on in response to the COVID-19 situation.
* Diego Saez in our team currently is doing some data analysis in this space in his volunteer time. If you're interested to learn more, please reach out to him. You can find him in the #wikimedia-research channel in IRC under username diego. (He may also just respond to this email at some point.:)
Best, Leila

Stuart,
This is possible. I talked to Isaac Johnson about this today. Basically, we'd need to build a regularly-updated database of articles-by-wikiproject (by parsing the wikiproject template on the talkpage, say). Then we could list all wikiprojects associated with each article and/or create some bot that notified each wikiproject if an article within its scope exceeded some traffic parameter.
But this is a lot of work, but I've captured the proposal here < https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Research_talk:Social_media_traf...
for future reference. Thanks!

Hi Ludovic,
Thanks for kicking off this thread. :)
An update on the Wikimedia Foundation's Research team end on this front (and by no means we're the only players in the field, there are many researchers on this mailing list who may want to share more about what they're doing in this space):
- I will send an email to this list sometime during the next week
about what the Research team intends to spend resources on in response to the COVID-19 situation.
- Diego Saez in our team currently is doing some data analysis in this

It's a pilot, so it's not available for other wikis yet. If we receive community feedback that indicates that the resource is welcome and is

Hi Jonathan
This is really great, my initial thought is these metrics describe
part of
the role Wikipedia is playing in combating disinformation/fake news, reliable sources etc. You link to this in your email to the Mashable article but this isn't described on the meta page. This is a very
popular
topic of research and I'm sure would be interesting to people
researching
this and would help people to find it.

we'd need to build a regularly-updated database of
