(Please note this meeting is on Tuesday this month). YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7cHxlGgEt4 As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. And, you can watch our past research showcases here. <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#Upcoming_Showcase> Case studies in the appropriation of ORESBy *Aaron Halfaker*ORES is an open, transparent, and auditable machine prediction platform for Wikipedians to help them do their work. It's currently used in 33 different Wikimedia projects to measure the quality of content, detect vandalism, recommend changes to articles, and to identify good faith newcomers. The primary way that Wikipedians use ORES' predictions is through the tools developed by volunteers. These javascript gadgets, MediaWiki extensions, and web-based tools make up a complex ecosystem of Wikipedian processes -- encoded into software. In this presentation, Aaron will walk through a three key tools that Wikipedians have developed that make use of ORES, and he'll discuss how these novel process support technologies and the discussions around them have prompted Wikipedians to reflect on their work processes. Exploring Wikimedia Donation PatternsBy *Gary Hsieh*Every year, Wikimedia Foundation relies on fundraising campaigns to help maintain the services it provides to millions of people worldwide. However, despite a large number of individuals who donate through these campaigns, these donors represent only a small percentage of Wikimedia users. In this work, we seek to advance our understanding of donors and their donation behaviors. Our findings offer insights to improve fundraising campaigns and to limit the burden of these campaigns on Wikipedia visitors. Kindly, Sarah R.
