Re: [Wiki-research-l] distinguishing native contributors from helpful strangers
Hi Amir, This is an interesting idea. I haven't found a way to detect whether an editor is native or not. My approach to multingual editing is through the concept of having a primary-non primary Wikipedias. Your primary Wikipedia is the one where you have made more edits to (and you are a primary editor there). In the rest of Wikipedias where you have at least an edit, you are a non-primary editor. I'm currently creating a database in which for every Wikipedia I have a table with a column specifying whether an editor is primary from this language or non-primary, another one with the primary language, another one with how many other languages they interacted with and a final one with the total number of edits in all languages. An editor behaves quite differently when he is primary or non-primary in terms of social interactions, topical diversity, etc. To me, this is interesting because it allows me to detect when an editor "exports" content (edits content about their local area, usually politics-related content, in other languages). Assessing the impact of these "technical helpful editors" may not be easy as we'd need to examine the characteristics of the edits. However, quantifying the extent of edits made by non-primary editors is doable. Would that help you? Best, Marc Miquel Missatge de Amir E.

[Wiki-research-l] project Grant Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory (WCDO)
Hello everyone,
I am writing to tell you that we have presented a plan for a second phase
to extend the project Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory (WCDO).
As a reminder, the WCDO aims at providing valuable strategic data in order
to fight for more cultural diversity in each Wikipedia language edition. In
the previous phase, we collected the Cultural Context Content (CCC)
datasets for all 300 language editions and provided some top priority
articles for different topics such as women-men, geolocated, among others
(named Top CCC articles).
The infrastructure for the project has been set (datasets and website). In
this new phase
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/WCDO/Culture_Gap_Monthly_Monitoring>,
we plan to create many more tools and visualizations: Top CCC article lists
based on community member suggestions, but most importantly, to create a
tool to monitor the gaps on a monthly basis and serve it as a newsletter.
This way editors will be able to see the efforts they dedicate each month
to create geolocated articles or cultural context content to bridge the
gaps.
Also, we plan to research on marginalized languages in order to see which
have more potential to become a new Wikipedia language edition, start
creating content about their cultural context ("decolonizing the
Internet"), and increase the overall cultural diversity of the project.
If you think you can join the project or provide some feedback, please
write us at tools.w...@tools.wmflabs.org. If you consider this may be
helpful, please help us, provide some feedback and endorse the project.
You can check the project here:

Thanks in advance for your time.
Best,
Marc Miquel

Re: [Wiki-research-l] research on topic coverage
Hello Houcemeddine and Amy, Thank you for your kind message Houcemeddine. It is my passion to study the cultural differences in Wikipedia and I do it for a long time. In regards to Wikipedia topical coverage, as far as I know, the last studies were: Farina, J., Tasso, R., & Laniado, D. (2011). Automatically assigning Wikipedia articles to macrocategories. Presented at the WikiSym '09: Proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration. Kittur, A., Chi, E. H., & Suh, B. (2009). What's in Wikipedia?: mapping topics and conflict using socially annotated category structure (pp. 1509–1512). Presented at the CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on human factors in computing systems. http://doi.org/10.1145/1518701.1518930 They both use the category graph structure in order to assign articles to one ore more main categories (Culture and the arts, people and self, geography and places, etc.). One of the problems of these methods is that each Wikipedia language edition has a different categorization structure and may not share the top categories. Then, it is difficult to establish good comparisons. However, as an estimation it works fine. They are not difficult to implement. If you want, I can share my code, which was based on Kittur's but with a more extensive set of top categories. I did run it for 40 languages and the results were quite interesting and somehow expected (Japanese have a bigger share of articles dedicated to technology, Hebrew to religion,...). I think that nowadays it would make sense to use the Wikidata properties in order to perform a topical coverage analysis (I am thinking about it). But this would have some other drawbacks too, as some small language items are not as developed as others.

[Wiki-research-l] sharing my project "Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory" / grant application
Hello everyone, My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions. Few months later, I propose creating the *Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory* in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage. I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions. Here is the link of the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_Cultural_Diversity_Observatory_(WCDO) If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it. In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Of course, you are invited to become participants, as there will be the need for users in the testing part. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi, It is useful to know there would be a way using the Eventlog. Likewise, I totally understand using mediawiki to this purpose would require a formal collaboration.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] [Analytics] question about Pageviews dumps
Yes, the whole thing is about page_title or page_ids. I think Wikipedia as a project provides very different types of information and it would be interesting to see how they are actually read, checked, etc. Likewise, I would need to see variations in different language editions. But not something large-scale or for long periods,...this is why a few days sample would be valuable. Anyway, thanks for the datasets link, Oliver.

Hi Joseph. Perhaps these approximations could already provide me valuable information. If it is possible to distinguish between mobile and pc visits, then I could filter the mobile and keep the more reliable pc-based data. This is all I wanted to know by now to prepare my project.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] [Analytics] question about Pageviews dumps
Hello! I was thinking about user sessions, yes, so this would mean to aggregate pageviews visited by a user during a short amount of time (I should check the cutoff, but it could be around an hour or less). I am particularly interested in understanding the order in which pages are seen (start, end), duration, etc. I wouldn't need data from a long period neither, but I think data from multiple languages would be helpful. I imagined reader data could be sensitive to privacy, but would an NDA with my university and some sort of data encoding help with this? As I said, it is for a scientific purpose.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Studies on motivations of volunteer wikipedians?
Dear Peeter, I agree that Editors' motivation is multi-layered. There has been research on it since 2005 or 2007. Sometimes by means of surveys addressing the different categories or motives, while in other occasions they are complemented by computational analysis. I had to review the motivation for my phd thesis I am currently doing, so here are some of the main studies I found: O. Nov. 2007. What motivates Wikipedians? *CACM* 50, 11 (2007), 60–64. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1297797.1297798 S. Kuznetsov. 2006. Motivations of contributors to Wikipedia. *ACM SIGCAS computers and society* 36, 2 (2006), 1. B. Xu and D. Li. 2015. An empirical study of the motivations for content contribution and community participation in Wikipedia. *IAM* 52, 3 (April 2015), 275–286. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.im.2014.12.003 X. Zhang and F. Zhu. 2006. Intrinsic motivation of open content contributors: The case of Wikipedia. *Workshop on Information Systems and Economics* (2006), 1601–1615. H.-L. Yang and C.-Y. Lai. 2010. Computers in Human Behavior. *Computers in Human Behavior* 26, 6 (November 2010), 1377–1383. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2010.04.011 In case you can't find one, just e-mail me.
