Hello, I thought I would ask if any of the junior or senior researchers here on this mailing list have conducted previous inquiries into Wikipedia's sourcing. I am currently working on a project of determining what proportion of Wikipedia is sourced to newspapers, the military, the Church, social media, etc. The data I've compiled this month, along with a brief write-up, have been posted to Wikipediocracy: http://wikipediocracy.com/2018/08/26/wikipedia-sources-methods/ I imagine I'm reinventing the wheel... such studies have been done before, by the WMF, with power tools (bots), right? Thanks for any corrections / suggestions, sashi _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
