Hi

Felipe is working on analyzing logging.xml in order to evaluate flagged
revisions. He has a few questions about what means what, see below.

Is the format of logging.xml documented anywhere?

Hi, Daniel.

Anyway, I already started to work. The fresh dump as of 2009-06 is
loaded and ready, so it is the metadata parsed from loggin.xml.

Some doubts about the logging info. I first assumed that entries with
type "review" are flagged confirmations, and action "approve-a"
automatic approval made by bots, like:

<logitem>
      <id>11882840</id>
      <timestamp>2009-05-25T03:02:24Z</timestamp>
      <contributor>
        <username>MauritsBot</username>
        <id>627499</id>
      </contributor>
      <comment>(automatisch) [Status:&amp;#32;gesichtet]</comment>
      <type>review</type>
      <action>approve-a</action>
      <logtitle>Caroline Bonaparte</logtitle>
      <params xml:space="preserve">60402136
59720804</params>
    </logitem>

Whereas action "approve" corresponds to logged users (and it's the
target of our study) like:

<logitem>
      <id>11882844</id>
      <timestamp>2009-05-25T03:03:25Z</timestamp>
      <contributor>
        <username>ParaDox</username>
        <id>104845</id>
      </contributor>
      <comment>[Status:&amp;#32;gesichtet]</comment>
      <type>review</type>
      <action>approve</action>
      <logtitle>Datei:ParaDox - Diagramm - Artikel-Sichtungen und
Artikel-Entwürfe - 2009-01.svg</logtitle>
      <params xml:space="preserve">60402132
60367249</params>
    </logitem>

Finally, I deduced that the first number in <params> content is the new
flagged rev_id for that article, whilst the second number is the
previous flagged rev_id (checked that with 3 random samples).

Please, confirm that all these assumptions are correct to start the EDA
stage.

Best,

F.
