Hi Folks,
We are bunch of grad students at UC Berkeley's School of Information working on 'detecting hotspots' on Wikipedia pages. We want to be able to identify sections of wikipedia articles that are being most talked about in the talk pages.
We need your help to determine how relevant our detected results are to the original talk page. We have a selection of '08 Presidential candidate pages and Computer law articles for your expert evaluation. Please spend a few minutes and help us find what else is being talked about in these pages: http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~ethan/wiki3/http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/%7Eethan/wiki4/
Thanks Kesava / User:Kaysov

I suggest you contact [[User:W3ace]] (Craig Wood), who does http://wikirage.com/ - he presently detects hotspots of article editing, but hotspots of talk page editing would be a *marvelously* useful thing to cover as well. (For example, we can find out just how big policy wonks we really are collectively.)

Hi,
Given David's comment about policy wonks, you might be interested in a paper that we recently presented -- a quantitative account of policy use on the talk pages. Its linked at http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/travis/research-wikipedia.html
Kesava -- in the paper, we explicitly relate that we think that policy citations are a great indication of hotspots, although we didn't go into that analysis in the paper.
Cheers! Travis
p.s. we're University of Washington comp sci grad students
