Having guidance on quality helps people learning about Wikidata understand what they should be aiming for.
The paper on vandalism detection in Wikidata sounds interesting, where can I find it?

Hoi, I noticed the notion about "quality in Wikidata". The approach is very much in line with what is the norm in Wikipedia. This is inot the right approach for Wikidata. Many of the items in Wikidata can be of high "quality"; ie the statements have a source and there are enough labels but the true value of these items are in the use of these items as statements in other items.. (for instance a university indicates that someone studied there). Another quality point is that for authors a VIAF statements allows for the linking in Wikipedias in external sources. This is of a high importance, it makes Wikidata useful and, if that is not of a quality consideration what is?
One other aspect of Wikidata is that it is still highly immature. Just consider the statistics for labels and statements [1] . This is only the first month where less than 10% of our items have no statement.. We talk about quality but quality should have a practical meaning. Just saying this or that item is so good, it makes for stamp collecting. The point of a stamp is not to collect them it is to send mail. Quality means that we know how many articles have been written in one or more editathons. It is in finding for a collection of items that it is better known what award, schooling has been achieved by the people that was written for. It is in using Wikidata to indicate what categories could be in what Wikipedia article.
Quality needs to be actionable. What is the use of static quality? Thanks, GerardM

Sharing some good news, both about the progress of ORES and (my primary inspiration for sharing this email) significant improvements in article quality thanks to WikiProject Women scientists. The latter has been designated as the Keilana Effect.

Hey folks!
I should really stop calling this a weekly update because it's getting a bit silly at this point. :) But if it were a weekly update, it would cover the weeks of 42 - 46.
*Highlights:*
- 3 new models: Finnish Wikipedia (reverted) and Estonian Wikipedia
(damaging & goodfaith)
- We estimated and agreed on funding for ORES servers in the next year
with Operations
- We published a paper about vandalism detection in Wikidata and a
blog
post about the massive effect of some initiatives on coverage of Women Scientists in Wikipedia.
*New development:*
- We added recall-based threshold metrics to the new draftquality
model
which should help tool devs know what which new page creations to highlight for review[1]
- We added optional notices for ORES pages which will help us visually
distinguish our experimental install in WMFlabs from the Prod install
(
ores.wikimedia.org)[2]
- We added basic language support for Finish (Thanks 4shadoww)[3] and
deployed a 'reverted' model[4]
- We lead a discussion in Wikidata about "item quality" that resulted
in
a Wikipedia 1.0 like scale for Wikidata quality[5,6] and designed a Wikilabels form to capture the gist of it[7]
We enabled the ORES Review Tool on Czech Wikipedia[8]
We configured ChangeProp to use our new minified JSON output to save
bandwidth[9]
- We extended the Estonian language assets (Thanks Cumbril)[10] and
deployed the 'damaging' and 'goodfaith' models[11,12]
- We enabled a testing model for 'goodfaith' on the Beta Cluster to
make
it easier for the Collaboration team to run tests with their new
filter
interface[13]
- We created a new "precache" endpoint that will allow us to
de-duplicate configuration with ChangeProp and handle all routing in ORES locally[14]
*Resourcing:*
- We completed a 2 year estimate of ORES resource needs and discussed
funding (capital expendature) for ORES in the coming fiscal year[15]. This will allow us to continue to grow ORES both in number of models and in scoring capacity.
*Communications:*
- Amir improved the KDD paper based on review feedback[16] and got it
published[17]
- We published a blob post about our measurements of WikiProject Women
Scientists[18,19] -- "The Keilana Effect"
- Thanks to Cumbril's work, the Estonian labeling campaing was
finished[20]
*Deployments:*
- In early February, we deployed a new set of translations to
Wikilabels
(specifcally targeting Romanian Wikipedia)[21]
- In mid-February, we deployed some fixes to ORES documentation and
response formatting[22]
- In mid-March, we deployed 3 new scoring models and ORES notices[23]
*Maintenance and robustness:*
- We fixed a serious issue in the "mwoauth" library that Wikilabels
depends on[24]
- We reduced the number of revisions per request that we could receive
via api.php[25]
We investigated a scap issue that broke ORES deployment[26]
We fixed a minor issue with JSON minification behavior[27] and
hard-coding of the location of ORES in the documentation[28]
We improved performance of ORES filters on MediaWiki[29]
We improved the language describing ORES behavior on
Special:Contributions[30]
- We added a notice to the Wikipages that Dexbot maintains about its
behavior[31]
- We added notices to ores.wmflabs.org about it's experimental
nature[32]
We fixed some issues with testing Finnish language assets[33]
We fixed some styling issues that resulted from an upgrade of OOJS
UI[34]
