Hi,
I am a 4th year student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology( IIT), Kharagpur, India.
I am good at programming in PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, Java, C, C++ and Python. I have done all the important courses including Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms, Information Retrieval, Natural language processing, Advanced Graph theory.
I am very enthusiast to work with Wikimedia in GSOC 2014. I have an idea which I believe can help improve Wikipedia content:
I want to implement a ranking system of the editors(especially 3rd party editors) of the Wikipedia through which viewers can differentiate between the content of the page. This ranking system will increase the content reliability. We can implement :
1. An extension which take all the editors information--
a. How many times editor has edited this particular page, b. The number of pages he edited and editor's reputation( i.e number and type of badge)
We can get this information from the "view history tab and then user info from the user page" and generate a reliability score by using (i.e Data clustering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis) for every line/paragraph of the content for all Wikipedia page. After installing this extension, user right click on any line to see the reliability score, all editor info and history in concise form.
2. Make the different color of the line/paragraph if the content of the line/paragraph is very new and its reliability score is less.
Please let me if I should go with this idea. If not, guide me how to start working on different idea.
Thanks and Regards
