Hoi, I categorically oppose paying people for content. Enabling them to create content is different. Citations is content and its quality is relevant but only that. Thanks, GerardM

How do people feel about a few of the larger the Chapters funding pilots to have professional researchers do https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt/en and a few other main languages?
It would be great to measure the quality of results of different payment incentive models and rates, but this is not something that the Foundation could do without some risk of breaching the DMCA safe harbor provisions, as far as I can see. Even if I am technically wrong about that, the appearances would be that it's obvious exertion of what would be positive editorial control, which would still mean a greater likelihood of lawsuits by disgruntled BLP and corporate subjects who can't win in court but can waste everyone's money.
But I would rather have multiple measurements administered by different parties anyway, because there are likely to be large uncontrollable sources of noise. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
