Re: [Wiki-research-l] Help us understand ORES and make good tradeoffs
Hi Bowen, I've used ORES in my research on the factors driving article quality (where ORES scores are used as a proxy for article quality). If you are seeking input from the research community, I'm happy to participate in your survey Ofer On Thu, Dec 13, 2018 at 5:08 PM Bowen Yu wrote: > Hello, > > ORES has been out and served for the Wikipedia community for a while, for > the purpose such as counter-vandalism.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Data on arbitration, mediation, voting
Thanks, Lodewijk I'm interested in the English Wikipedia. I'm studying he extent to which various governance mechanisms shape an article's evolutionary trajectory (not going into the details of how that trajectory is recorded and represented). The unit of analysis is a particular article. My focus is on the application of mechanisms that intended to alleviate conflicts. So for the particular article mentioned - Gdansk - I would look at when conflicts within this article have required mediation, arbitration or polls. I'm hoping this clarifies things.

[Wiki-research-l] Data on arbitration, mediation, voting
Hi everyone, As part of my research on governance mechanisms in Wikipedia, I'm looking for data regarding mediation, arbitration, and polls. Are records of mediation and arbitration committees (dates, the article, decisions) and on voting readily available? How could I gain access to this data? I'm particularly interested on data regarding the Gdansk article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gda%C5%84sk), but would be happy to retrieve data for other articles as well. Thanks in advance, Ofer Arazy ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
[Wiki-research-l] Year-by-year statistics for unregistered contributors (IPs)
Hi all, I'm seeking assistance in retrieving data regarding the activity of *unregistered contributors* on a year-by-year basis. Namely, I'm looking for stats regarding the count of these IP users at the end of each calendar year, as well as their activity levels (e.g. avg. monthly edits). I was able to get detailed stats for registered members, but not for those contributors identified through their IP Help will be appreciated.
