Wetter you do or don't do trust metrics according to misspellings is a choice, but to not correct for misspellings will give a suboptimal solution. It is important to note that you do this, and how it changes the system. I have no doubt that trust metrics will incorporate this as an option in the future, no matter wetter it is part of an official system or not. Likewise I believe it will incorporate systems for weighting cooperation between users and articles overall quality. There is no easy single solution to this, the solution is a complex connected multivariate system.

(About the server load: you are absolutely right, especially because using misspelling would transform a string-matching problem into a problem where the string matching has to be done modulo misspellings. We put a lot of work into making the string matching efficient, and it would be a big hit to have to account for misspellings).

Should we get into that? No, I dont think that you should. You would end up wasting a lot of server resources for a small potential gain in some languages, and you run into massive complexities when it comes to accurately dealing with fringe cases. I would venture to guess that the precision lost trying to account for spelling/grammar/whatever would outweigh the potential precision gained from it. Best to stick with an algorithm which is simple, elegant, not resource intensive, and universally applicable. --Andrew Whitoworth _______________________________________________ Wikiquality-l mailing list Wikiquality-l@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:Wikiquality-l@lists.wikimedia.org> http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiquality-l
