Hello all, We are building a tool to detect when a Wikipedia article's coverage of viewpoints drifts over time, and we'd value this list's feedback on the methodology.
*In short*: it watches an article across many revisions and flags when its representation of viewpoints seems to be shifting in a directional, persistent way , pointing to roughly when the shift began, which sections, and which edits. It is a drift detector, not a bias classifier: it never declares an article "biased"; it surfaces candidates and leaves the neutrality call to editors. It builds on a gap named in the Foundation's 2025 guidance, "*Recommended Practices for NPOV Research on Wikipedia*" (Johnson et al., arXiv:2510.21526). *The full write-up*, detailing the signals, methods, and validation is on Phabricator. Please do read it there and *leave your comments directly on the task*, so the discussion stays in one place: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428896 Thanks for taking a look.
