It’s me, and yes, it’s automated.

Hi all,
Thanks very much for the responses.
I’ve created a wiki page that lists all of the ways in which I am identifying semi-automated tool edits. One thing that I’ve included there is a list of the regular expressions that I believe match tool edits from revision comments. Here is the page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikidata%27s_Value/se... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikidata's_Value/semi-automated_tool_edit_indicators .
I’ve also noticed the following interesting phrase within Wikidata revision comments: “Updating citation graph”. It appears that contiguous revisions with this phrase occur, indicating that this could be produced by a bot or some other form of automated editing occurring quickly. Anyone know what is producing these revisions? Is it a bot or tool possibly?
Thanks, Andrew

Also, [[User:QuickStatementsBot]] acts as an agent for edits submitted through the QuickStatements tool, as well as some of my automated bot edits ("...invoked by...").

Hi Andrew,
I would also look at edit tags [1], which capture many edits from OAuth-based tools that don't leave an identifying word in the edit summary field (example: reCh [2]). You can query these using the change tag table [3].
[1] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Tags (may take some time to load)
[2] e.g.
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributi...

Hello,
I’m doing some analyses in which I want to identify Wikidata edits done
via
editing tools (e.g. via QuickStatements, etc…). To identify these edits, I've first flagged and removed bot edits and then I’ve generated a list
of
the 1000 most popular revision comment words (ignoring case and some punctuation characters as part of this process). Within this list of
words,
I've identified 15 words that I believe indicate tool edits. I’ve
included
these 15 words below.
Does anyone know of tool edits that would be missed if I search for revisions that contain one of these 15 words in their comments? Put
another
way, are there editing tools not listed below? If so, can I identify
edits
from those tools from revision comments?

Thanks in advance, Andrew Hall
