If you can come up with software that identifies sources that we aren't using but should then that would make for some interesting reports on Wikiprojects, or an interesting opportunity for the wiki library.
Good point. This also came up at a research meetup at Wikimania, where the question was what corpora could be used (one proposal is the Internet Archive): see notes at
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Meetups/Affiliates_and_Research A related proposal was <https://github.com/eggpi/citationhunt/issues/137>
I'd particularly like to see something along the lines of a bot that sends messages to active Wikipedia editors "As an editor who has been active in topic zzzzzz we would like to send you a free copy of the new book xxxxxx by yyyyy. Click here to arrange your free copy"
I would be interested in helping you do this (for Italian-language editors?). I think it can easily be written in a way that doesn't sound like a promotion for the specific item.
