Re: [Analytics] Availability of data on Wikipedia Zero rollout

[effe iets anders]

Hi Sneha,

I'm not sure about the other data (You may be able to find aggregate
reports?), but the page history of
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_partnerships seems to have
data on the countries and carriers, and which date they were switched on.
I'm not sure how reliable the switch-off would be. It also includes a
statement on the languages and which version of Wikipedia is concerns.

Best,
Lodewijk

Sneha,

Some of the data that would be key to estimate the  "increase of
participation"  you mention has either never been collected ("Whether those
edits were being made using a device that accessed WP through WP Zero") or
it was only retained short term, 90 days (" The kind of device being used
for editing").

Thanks,

Nuria

[Analytics] Availability of data on Wikipedia Zero rollout

[Sneha Narayan]

Hello everyone!

I'm a CS professor at Carleton College (formerly a PhD student at
Northwestern), and I've collaborated with folks at WMF on WP research in
the past. Most notably, I was the lead author on a paper written with
Jonathan Morgan and Jake Orlowitz evaluating the Wikipedia Adventure
. I hope to continue having
productive collaborations with other people who care about WP, and keep
producing research that supports the future of the project.

A potential research idea I'd like to explore is understanding whether and
how Wikipedia Zero impacted the amount and nature of participation on WP in
the projects that were affected by its rollout. Since the Wikipedia Zero
program lasted during a particular time period and then ended, it also sets
up a potentially good avenue for a comparative study.

I was wondering if any of you were aware of any datasets that log
information about the rollout of/participation in Wikipedia Zero.
Specifically, some of the data I'm interested in include:

- Countries that had access to WP Zero, including dates/times that this was
turned on and off
- Any information about whether access through WP Zero meant that you could
only visit/edit particular parts or language editions of Wikipedia (I don't
think this was the case, but I wanted to make sure)
- Edits made to any WP language edition by IP addresses from those
countries during that time period
- Whether those edits were being made using a device that accessed WP
through WP Zero
- The kind of device being used for editing
- Other generic features of the edit (number of characters, namespace,
registered/unregistered etc)

I'm aware that the data may not be recorded exactly along those lines, but
I was still curious to know what data about Wikipedia Zero is out there,
and whether or not it was publicly available.

Thank you for your help!
-Sneha
