Using primary research analysis of the number of images, references, internal links, external links, words, and characters, as well as their proportions in Good and Featured articles on the eight largest Wikipedias, we discover a high diversity of approaches and format preferences, correlating with culture. We demonstrate that high-quality standards in information presentation are not globally shared and that in many aspects, the language culture's influence determines what is perceived to be proper, desirable, and exemplary for encyclopedic entries. As a result, we demonstrate that standards for encyclopedic knowledge are not globally agreed-upon and “objective” but local and very subjective.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>rybesh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Wikipedia is edited about half a million times per day. In order to maintain the quality of Wikipedia, this firehose of new content needs to be constantly reviewed by Wikipedians. The Objective Revision Evaluation Service (ORES) functions like a pair of X-ray specs, the toy hyped in novelty shops and the back of comic books—but these specs actually work to highlight potentially damaging edits for editors. This allows editors to triage them from the torrent of new edits and review them with increased scrutiny.
By combining open data and open source machine learning algorithms, our goal is to make quality control in Wikipedia more transparent, auditable, and easy to experiment with.
Our hope is that ORES will enable critical advancements in how we do quality control—changes that will both make quality control work more efficient and make Wikipedia a more welcoming place for new editors.]]></description>

By mining (attribute, value) pairs from the revision history of the English Wikipedia we are able to collect a comprehensive knowledge base that contains data on how attributes change over time. When dealing with the Wikipedia edit history, vandalic and erroneous edits are a concern for data quality. We present a study of vandalism identification in Wikipedia edits that uses only features from the infoboxes, and show that we can obtain, on this dataset, an accuracy comparable to a state-of-the-art vandalism identification method that is based on the whole article. Finally, we discuss different characteristics of the extracted dataset, which we make available for further study.

    <title>What Lua scripting means for Wikimedia and open source — Wikimedia blog</title>

    <dc:creator>rybesh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Scribunto lays the foundations for exciting work to come when the Wikidata structured data project comes further online (the Wikidata interface is still in development and being deployed in phases). We know that Lua will be an attractive way to integrate Wikidata information into pages, and we hope a lot of (currently) unstructured data will get structured, helping new applications emerge.

Now that Lua and Wikidata are more mature, we can look forward to enabling more functionality and plugging in more libraries. And as we continue deploying Wikidata, people will make interesting improvements that we currently can’t predict. For instance, right now, each citation is hard to programmatically dissect; the Cite template takes many unstructured parameters (“author1,” “author2,” etc.) We structure these arguments by convention, but the data’s not structured as CS folks would have it, and can’t be queried via APIs, remixed, and so on.

But in the future, we could have citations stored in Wikidata and then put together onto article pages using Lua, or even assembled into other various reasonable forms (automatically generated bibliographies?) using Lua, and it will be more easy for Zotero users to discover. That’s just one example; on all our sites over the next few years, things will change from the status quo in a user-visible way. The old math and geography templates were inefficient and hard to hack; once rewritten, they’ll run faster and perhaps editors will use them more. We might see galleries, automatic data analyses, better annotated maps, and various other interesting processes and queries embedded in Wikimedia pages.]]></description>

Judging from contemporary press accounts, 7 September certainly seemed to mark an important change in German bombing strategy, but more one of quantity than quality -- almost more an inflection point than a turning point. In retrospect we tend not to see it that way, which is fine. But we could recognise that -- leaving aside the eventual reification involved in the name 'the Blitz' itself -- the 'start of the Blitz' was less clearly defined then than it seems now.
But this is not what the Wikipedia article is talking about. Instead it chooses an equally precise date for the start of the Blitz, 6 September, and says that this is more accurate than 7 September. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>rybesh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Wikipedia hype meets harsh reality:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Community_petition
(Wikipedia site version) [via Danny Wool]


I'll simply quote it, since it says all that needs to be said:


Petition to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees:


We, volunteers, ask the Board to give the volunteer community a fair
voice in Foundation governance. During its most recent meeting, the
Board of Trustees not only rejected a proposal to improve community
input in Foundation matters, but implemented an unexpected
restructuring to reduce the community seats on the board. The
community was not consulted about this reduction in representation and
the board provided no explanation for this change.
[1]


That is not a good way to treat people who donate their time and
labor. The volunteer base made this the seventh most popular website
in the world. We expect courtesy and respect, but received neither.
That hurts morale.


Please provide a full explanation for recent board decisions and
reconsider your top-down approach.


I keep telling the people who donate much of their time to Wikipedia:
Don't ever risk anything for Wikipedia, since it won't risk anything
for you. You're fed a line about "community" and "knowledge",
but you're utterly powerless. And when it comes down to a crunch,
you're merely unpaid labor with no rights, who can be discarded at a
moment's notice.


And if you think I'm just a bombastic critic, well,
he said it, not me
(Brad Patrick, former Wikimedia Foundation general counsel and interim executive director) [via "Durova"]


It would be best for those critical of the Board (and feeling that the
community is the most important ideal) to remember that whether you like it
or not, agree with it or not, or would have selected an alternative reality
or not, it is still the case that the Board is that which governs the
Wikimedia Foundation, ...  As is oft-repeated, WMF is not a membership
organization.


Within the spirit of civil discourse, to those who are feeling frustrated
and demanding action, I submit - "so what are you going to do about it?"  I
suggest you be pragmatic.  You do not have any means of grabbing the reins
of power from the Board, and you don't have any entitlement to anything
except your ability to participate in a project, if you choose, a chapter,
if you choose, or to speak up in some forum.  You don't have a "right" to
vote on anything, and the Board could just as easily have a contest than an
election to fill Board seats. [... snip]


Stop whining and ask yourself if you have the objective qualifications to
lead an international organization.  If not, work on obtaining the skills to
be such a leader, if you choose.  Toiling on a project is neither a
necessary nor sufficient condition to be a Board member at WMF.


Or, get back to the data-mines, suckers.


The funniest thing about this is Jimmy Wales has been appointed a
special slot that's counted as a "community" seat.

Profit-oriented Wikia eying IPO in long term


Wikia Inc., a profit-oriented company set up by Wikipedia co-founder
Jimmy Wales, is aiming for a public listing in the long term, he said Thursday. ...


Wales said Wikia has funding from venture capital and seeking an
initial public offering "is sort of the path we are going to take."
But he said had no timeframe for such a listing for the San
Mateo, California-based Wikia right now.


Now let's compare
this interview:


IBD: Why would anyone volunteer to do this?


Wales: The main reason is that it's fun for them.


YOU get to have "fun". HE gets very rich from an IPO.


And people wonder why I'm such a spoilsport :-(.
