Research Showcase Wednesday, February 21, 2018 [External]
by Sarah R 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Hi Everyone, The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed this Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at 11:30 AM (PST) 18:30 UTC. YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpmRWCE7F_I As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. And, you can watch our past research showcases here <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase>. This month's presentation: *Visual enrichment of collaborative knowledge bases* By Miriam Redi, Wikimedia Foundation Images allow us to explain, enrich and complement knowledge without language barriers [1]. They can help illustrate the content of an item in a language-agnostic way to external data consumers. Images can be extremely helpful in multilingual collaborative knowledge bases such as Wikidata. However, a large proportion of Wikidata items lack images. More than 3.6M Wikidata items are about humans (Q5), but only 17% of them have an image associated with them. Only 2.2M of 40 Million Wikidata items have an image. A wider presence of images in such a rich, cross-lingual repository could enable a more complete representation of human knowledge. In this talk, we will discuss challenges and opportunities faced when using machine learning and computer vision tools for the visual enrichment of collaborative knowledge bases. We will share research to help Wikidata contributors make Wikidata more “visual” by recommending high-quality Commons images to Wikidata items. We will show the first results on free-licence image quality scoring and recommendation and discuss future work in this direction. [1] Van Hook, Steven R.

In Wikipedia specifically, the notion of "backlogs" has become dominant. There's backlogs of articles to create, articles to clean up, articles to assess, new editor contributions to review, manual of style rules to apply, etc. To a community of people working on a backlog, the state of that backlog has deep effects on their emotional well being. A backlog that only grows is frustrating and exhausting. Backlogs aren't inevitable though and there are many shapes that backlogs can take. In my presentation, I'll tell a story about where English Wikipedia editors defined a process and set of roles that formed a backlog around new page creations. I'll make the argument that this formalization of quality control practices has created a choke point and that alternatives exist. Finally I'll present a vision for such an alternative using models that we have developed for ORES, the open machine prediction service my team maintains. -- Sarah R.

Strategy Report Released: Wikimedia 2030: Wikimedia’s role in shaping the future of the information commons
by Caitlin Virtue 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

*Hi Everyone, On Thursday, we released an extensive research report [1] about Wikimedia’s role in shaping the future of the information commons. The report was created as part of the Wikimedia 2030 strategy process, as the Foundation engaged research teams to examine awareness and usage of Wikimedia projects and evolving information consumption habits. The consulting teams conducted desk research and spoke both with people familiar with and involved in the Wikimedia movement and expert observers who could inform the strategy process but who are not directly involved today. In one-on-one interviews, experts in geographic areas where the projects are most heavily used were asked to think about future trends in their fields and how the trends might apply to the Wikimedia movement’s strategy. This particular research focused on six broad topics that seemed most likely to further or frustrate the vision for growth that the Foundation embraces. In this report, the Foundation’s staff and its consulting teams present top-level insights from this global process. Perspectives from interviewees around the world are also provided with context about their region and area of expertise. The report draws from six comprehensive research briefs,[2] published on Wikimedia’s strategy website, which address these topics: - Demographics: Who is in the world in 2030? The report outlines global population trends, which project the highest population growth in places where Wikimedia has significant room to expand.- Emerging platforms: How will people around the world be using communications technologies to find, create, and share information? The report considers future technologies, from the imminent to the speculative, and examines what range of new hardware, software, and content production capabilities might mean for content creation and user access.- Misinformation: How will people find trustworthy sources of knowledge and information? The report explores how content creators and technologists can ensure that knowledge is trustworthy and also identifies threats to these efforts.- Literacy: How will the world learn in the future? The report forecasts that technology will transform learning and educational settings as well as expand the requirements for literacy beyond text and images.- Open knowledge: How will we share culture, ideas, and information? The report documents the global trend toward opening collections and archives to the public and making them freely available online, and explores ways the Wikimedia movement might partner with people and organizations to accelerate this sharing.- Expect the unexpected: How can we know what the world will look like in 2030 — and what the Wikimedia movement’s role will be in it?The report proposes that a study of trends can never be truly predictive and introduces alternative visionary tools such as scenario planning and speculative social science fiction.The consulting team published an additional research brief on the future of the digital commons,[3] examining the political and commercial forces that could lead to the contraction or expansion of the open web. Looking at the constellation of issues most important to the Wikimedia community, this brief identifies access, censorship, privacy, copyright, and intermediary liability as active battlefronts.The fate of the digital commons is the single subject that rises above and intersects with each of the other areas of research. The commons of the future will shape the environment that ultimately fosters or blocks all of the Wikimedia projects’ work. Thus, this report weaves research findings about the future of the commons throughout.Specifically, the report highlights growing concerns across civil society about the quality of and access to open knowledge online, as well as compounding threats to the Wikimedia movement and its open knowledge allies. Between now and 2030, open knowledge advocates face headwinds that include censorship by governments and corporations, internet shutdowns, surveillance of users, information monopolies, and troubling developments such as the arrests of scholars and journalists operating in closed societies.The Wikimedia movement is positioned to work toward potential solutions to these threats. Despite the trend toward a “darkening globe,” some leaders see the Wikimedia movement as among the brightest hopes and most inspiring exemplars of the global digital commons.The Wikimedia movement has immediate internal challenges to address, including adapting to an increasingly mobile internet, recruiting a new generation of volunteers, and expanding its partnerships with schools and “GLAM” organizations (i.e. galleries, libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural institutions that have access to knowledge as their mission). But Wikimedia and its open knowledge allies, working together, can lift up people everywhere, empowering communities through access and participation in knowledge creation and sharing. Across the interviews and salons, there was a clarion call for the building of this larger, more active, and multi-partner open knowledge movement.For extended narratives, many more citations, and community discussion of the research, visit the Wikimedia strategy page that aggregates into a single web directory not only this work but also the totality of the Foundation’s strategy process: 2030.wikimedia.org <https://2030.wikimedia.org/>.The report concludes with an analysis of cross-cutting themes that arose from the research, as well as a set of recommendations and discussion questions for the movement and its partners. The goal of these final sections is not to close the discussion. Instead, it is to set the stage for the next phase of work for the Foundation and the movement: to move from strategies to actions that not only will preserve what has already been built, but also make the projects useful and vital for billions of future Wikimedia users.We're grateful to the Wikimedia staff, volunteers, consultants, and interviewees who made this report possible.

Records Retention and Destruction Policy
by Andy Mabbett 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

I'm liaising with Charity Navigator, to import data about US charities into Wikidata. As an example, I've been looking at their page about the WMF https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=11212 and note that their otherwise excellent rating of the foundation is reduced by four points (the maximum is 100) due the apparent absence of a Records Retention and Destruction Policy, "as reported by the charity on its Form 990". However, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_retention_guidelines suggests that this is an error. Is the policy really missing from the 990? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

Update on Wikimedia vs. NSA
by Katherine Maher 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Hi all, I’d like to share an update and next steps in our lawsuit against the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA.[1] As you’ll recall, in March 2015, the Wikimedia Foundation joined eight other plaintiffs in filing a suit in United States Federal District Court against the NSA[2] and the Department of Justice,[3] among others. We have been represented pro bono[4] by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)[5] and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University.[6] The law firm Cooley LLP[7] has also been serving as pro bono co-counsel for the Foundation. Since we’re coming on the three-year anniversary, I wanted to offer a reminder of why we filed this suit. Our challenge supports the foundational values of our movement: the right to freedom of expression and access to information. Free knowledge requires freedom of inquiry, particularly in the case of challenging and unpopular truths. Each day people around the world engage with difficult and controversial subjects on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Pervasive mass surveillance brings the threat of reprisal, creates a chilling effect, and undermines the freedoms upon which our projects and communities are founded. In bringing this suit, we joined a tradition of knowledge stewards who have fought to preserve the integrity of intellectual inquiry. Our lawsuit challenges dragnet surveillance by the NSA, specifically the large-scale seizing and searching of Internet communications frequently referred to as “Upstream” surveillance.[8] The U.S. government is tapping directly into the internet’s “backbone”[9]—the network of high-capacity cables, switches, and routers that carry domestic and international communications—and seizing and searching virtually all text-based internet communications flowing into and out of the United States. It’s this backbone that connects the global Wikimedia community to our projects. These communications are being seized and searched without any requirement that there be suspicion, for example, that the communications have a connection to terrorism or national security threats. Last May, we reached an important milestone: a Federal Court of Appeals[10] in the United States ruled[11] that the Foundation alone had plausibly alleged “standing”[12] to proceed with our claims that Upstream mass surveillance seizes and searches of the online communications of Wikimedia users, contributors and Foundation staff in violation of the U.S. Constitution and other laws. The Court of Appeals’ ruling means that we are the sole remaining plaintiff among the nine original co-plaintiffs. There is still a long road ahead, but this intermediate victory makes this case one of the most important vehicles for challenging the legality of this particular NSA surveillance practice. As a result of our win in the appellate court, we are now proceeding to the next stage of the case: discovery.[13] In the U.S. court system, parties use the discovery stage to exchange evidence and ask each other questions about their claims. We have requested information and documents from the government, and they have made similar requests from us. The entire phase, which will also involve research and reports from experts, is expected to last the next few months. As part of our commitment to privacy, I want you to know about what this stage of the case means for our data retention practices. Our goal in bringing this lawsuit was to protect user information. In this case, like other litigation in which we engage, we may sometimes be legally required to preserve some information longer than the standard 90-day period in our data retention guidelines. These special cases are acknowledged and permitted by our privacy and data retention policies.[14] As always, however, we remain committed to keeping user data no longer than legally necessary. We never publish the exact details of litigation-related data retention, as part of our legal strategy to keep personal data safe. And we defend any personal data from disclosure to the maximum extent, taking both legal and technical measures to do so. We are keeping sensitive material encrypted and offline, and we have the support of the experienced legal teams at the ACLU and Cooley in ensuring its safety and integrity. Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA is currently one of the only freedom of expression and access to knowledge cases being prosecuted against government surveillance overreach. Unfortunately, the recent extension of these surveillance practices by the U.S. Congress[15] demonstrates that the courts may well be the only venue to stop or restrict these practices. The nature of litigation means that we will not always be able to discuss certain details of any case in public. For example, deliberations about tactical or strategic decisions will need to remain confidential in order to preserve the attorney-client privilege.[16] In such situations, particularly in a sensitive and important case like this, we are always balancing the need for confidentiality with our commitment to transparency. So while some information will not be public, we want to be available to address your questions, should you have any. Please direct them to Greg Varnum gvarnum(a)wikimedia.org, who can help provide answers. We will continue keeping you updated on our progress and anything that might affect our communities and visitors to the Wikimedia sites.[17] I would like to thank Tilman Bayer, Nuria Ruiz, Faidon Liambotis, Andrew Otto, James Alexander, Brandon Black, Byron Bogaert, Dan Foy, Grace Gellerman, Aeryn Palmer and Jim Buatti for their extensive dedication to this case. And thanks to the C-levels supporting this work, Eileen Hershenov, Victoria Coleman, and Toby Negrin.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] RFC on wikimedia-l posting limits
by Chris Koerner 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

Hey Fae, Let me make sure I understand. *You believe suggesting posting limits resulted in less posts because people were afraid of the post limits *This makes you feel doubt about the health of the mailing list *The count of posts is low year-over-year for the last few years *This is indicative of community health *You feel the content of the list is low on substantive conversation *You would like feedback on these ideas. Correlation does not equal causation, so I think it’s not as clear (or black and white) as I interpret your writing on why we've seen less participation. Nor do I find any lack of quality in the conversations that do happen here. Of course, who's to say that those past years and corresponding numbers are indicative of a healthy community? :) I remember this mailing list to have a great number more posts in early 2016, but many remember that period of time as not such a healthy time for the movement. If the goal is more posts at the cost of more drama - I'll take a hard pass. Do you feel that the mailing list content is less healthy or perhaps just less noisy? Noisy in the sense of distractions. You mention criticism and thoughtful conversation. Is it possible that is happening in other more friendly (technologically accessible and civil) venues? Perhaps one where familiar usernames are not given such court to create more distraction? As for the usefulness of this mailing list I can only speak for myself. I work remotely. I have conditioned into me from previous experiences not to send frivolous single-sentence replies. However in my experience within the movement, these sort of of “hey I acknowledge you exist, saw your message, but have nothing to add” messages are helpful for remaining connected to colleagues who are physically distant, but frequently encountered (and sometimes sadly not) in online spaces. It’s part of the reason I find the Thanks extension helpful on-wiki. So that is to say, this is a hearty +1 to the current state of things. In my opinion, I'm fine. We're fine. I hope this is a somewhat thoughtful observation and not too spammy. :) Thanks, Chris K.
