Subject: [Wikimediaau-l] Most controversial articles on Wikipedia
There has been an Hungarian research project into identifying
controversial articles in Wikipedia, based on the history of
reversions and edit wars. They have a website:
http://wwm.phy.bme.hu/
with their datasets, programs, papers, etc. But the bit you are
probably most itching to see “the top 100 controversial articles in
English” (ranked from most controversial down) is:
http://wwm.phy.bme.hu/Top100/top100_en_wiki.txt
with good ol’ “George W. Bush” heading up the list.
If you want to know more about the methodology or see the top 10
across 10 languages (article titles translating in English for your
viewing pleasure where a corresponding English article is available to
provide a translated title), you can access the PDF for the paper via:
http://ssrn.com/abstract=2269392
There is also this nifty real-time visualisation you can view (and
play with) which enables you understand the relative controversial
nature across up to 4 languages. It seems “Jesus” and “Homeopathy” are
the most controversial across English, French, German and Spanish,
while “George W Bush” is as controversial for English-speakers as
“Falkland Islands” is for Spanish speakers and “Croatia” is for German
speakers – the French meanwhile are fighting over the untranslatable
“Segolene Royal” (for which no corresponding article exists on en.WP
-- can any French speaker assist with the translation?).

which is mentioned in the paper above but does not appear to be linked
from the website.
There is a “Tour” link in the top left hand corner if you want to know
how to drive the visualisation. It looks like hours of fun!

Hi there,
Please find the information in the link below.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_Thai…
Registration of wikilovesmonuments.th is not allowed. (THNIC admits
.th registration only third-level domain under seven groups of
predefined second-level domains. Strict registration rules make the
risk of cybersquatting extremely low. There is currently no chapter
in Thailand and small grant may be asked.
The rationales behind Wiki Loves Monuments in Thailand is twofold:
* we wish to recruit more volunteers
* we wish to start a high-impact outreach activity that strengthen the
movement to pave the way for chapter registration.
Many thanks,
Taweetham
