Today we published an announcement on the Wikimedia blog marking the official launch of revision scoring as a service < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Revision_scoring_as_a_service
and I wanted to say a few words about this project:

First off: what’s revision scoring <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Revision_scoring_as_a_service#Ratio...
? On the surface, it’s a set of open APIs allowing you to automatically “score” any edit and measure their probability of being damaging or good-faith contributions. The real goal behind this project, though, is
to
fix the damage indirectly caused by vandal-fighting bots and tools on good-faith contributors and to bring back a collaborative dimension to
how
we do quality control on Wikipedia. I invite you to read the whole blog post <
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/11/30/artificial-intelligence-x-ray-specs/
if you want to know more about the motivations and expected outcome of
this
project.
I am thrilled this project is coming to fruition and I’d like to congratulate Aaron Halfaker < https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:Ahalfaker%3E and all the
project
contributors <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Revision_scoring_as_a_service#Team
on hitting this big milestone: revision scoring started as Aaron’s side project well over a year ago and it has been co-designed (as in –
literally
– conceived, implemented, tested, improved and finally adopted) by a distributed team of volunteer developers, editors, and researchers. We worked with volunteers in 14 different Wikipedia language editions and
as
of today revision scores are integrated <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Revision_scoring_as_a_service#Tools...
in the workflow of several quality control interfaces, WikiProjects and
3rd
party tools. The project would not have seen the light without the technical support provided by the TechOps team (Yuvi in particular) and seminal funding provided by the WMF IEG program and Wikimedia Germany.
So, here you go: the next time someone tells you that LLAMAS GROW ON
TREES
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=642215410 you
can
confidently tell them they should stop damaging < http://ores.wmflabs.org/scores/enwiki/damaging/642215410/%3E Wikipedia.
