Re: [Wiki-research-l] Wikipedia research on "productivity"
Hello, That is very interesting. I don't know what she or he is referring to... How would the equation exactly look like? As there are rules about content, and as the final goal is to provide recipients with content they appreciate, I think that the equation would lack important factors. From the point of view of a certain discipline, it might be enough to think "if content is not reverted/deleted by other editors, then it is okay". Other researchers say: "I don't know whether this piece of content is encyclopedic or according to the rules, as long as I have not seen it with my own eyes." For example: https://ksh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Faassefeld&oldid=763862 This article has not been deleted, but still it does not comply with the Wikipedia rules. (The Wikipedia language version is Ripuarian, but the text has been obviously copied from nds-nl.wp.) Also: what is productivity, does this only relate to text or other content "produced" specifically for that wiki? If someone translates text, or imports texts, is that the same kind of "productivity"? Kind regards Ziko Am Di., 2.

[Wiki-research-l] Wikipedia research on "productivity"
I'm working on a research paper and one of the reviewers has commented that "There is even a Wikipedia measure called productivity, which is essentially the amount of text produced over time less the reverted text" Anybody familiar with that metric of "productivity"? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ofer ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
[Wiki-research-l] Research about how to measure the effectiveness of user blocks
The Community health initiative is starting a project to measure the effectiveness of blocks. The first step is to discuss with the wikimedia community ideas about how to do it. To that end, the Anti-Harassment Tools team and Morten Warncke-Wang have created space to discuss research ideas about user blocks. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Measuring_the_effectiveness_of_blocks AHT is particularly interested to learn whether the new partial blocks feature is successful as a ''tool or instrument''. Therefore, the first part of this research will mainly focused on the short term gains in the utility of partial blocks in order to understand whether it appears to be working and if there appears to be a need for changes. These measurements will provide us with insight quickly. Currently there is not much known about how sitewide blocks affect users. This makes a comparison of the effects of the new partial block feature to sitewide blocks difficult. To provide all of us with some insight, the Anti-Harassment Tools team would like to examine historical block data across wikimedia projects to establish a baseline. However, our list of measurements that we propose has a lot of longer term ones, e.g. surveys. These are important and should be considered to be implemented later, because they can provide all of us with insight that is otherwise hidden. Please on wiki to discuss these ideas and your ideas. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Measuring_the_effectiveness_of_blocks For the Anti-Harassment Tools team and [[User:MWang (WMF)|Morten Warncke-Wang]].
