[Wiki-research-l] Tracking authorship of wiki content

Dear All, I was yesterday at OpenSym (many thanks to Dirk for organizing this!), and I was chatting with some people about attribution of content to its authors in a wiki. So I got inspired, and I cleaned up some code that Michael Shavlovsky and I had written for this: https://github.com/lucadeal

So Wikipedia gets 20M pageviews per day total? I somehow expected more. Or am I mis-reading the graph? Luca On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 9:57 AM, Oliver Keyes wrote: > > Yep; same timeframe. > > On 15 December 2014 at 12:50, Federico Leva (Nemo) > wrote: >> >> Oliver Keyes, 13/12/2014 21:15: >> >>>

Dear James, very well argued, thanks for the insightful post. Saving drafts on the other hand could help avoid many conflicts on less-trafficked pages. Right now, on a page that is edited infrequently, this happens: - User A starts an edit - User A saves not to lose work, not quite done yet. Res

Better merging would be welcome. But also less aggressive editing/policing. When I edit openstreetmap I have a better overall experience: the edits may or may not go live immediately, but I don't have the impression that there is someone aggressively vetting/refining my edits while I am still doi

I think I would be very interested in 3, or even, in having every month a dump of that month's revisions. As I have built tools for the xml dumps, no change in format is good for me (and for WikiTrust). I would find incremental dumps (with occasional, yearly, full dumps) much easier to manage tha
