This is what we even tested in the article creation recommendation experiment and you could see that providing personalized recommendations (where personalization was on the basis of matching editors interests based on their history of contributions) does better than random important recommendations. A few pointers for you: * Check out section 2.3 of the paper at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.03235.pdf to see how this was done. * I talk briefly about how we do the editor interest modeling at https://youtu.be/lHbnvRwFC_A?t=20m44s In general, we have at least two ways for recommending to people what they like to edit: one would be using the information in their past edit history and building topical models that can help us learn what topics an editor is interested in. The other is by asking the editor to provide some seeds of interest to us. For example, we ask you to tell us what kind of article you would edit, and we give you recommendations similar to the seed you provide. Each have its own advantages and you sometimes have to mix the two approaches (and more) to give the editor enough breadth and depth of topics to choose from. > The approach for finding a subject that could do with more attention is one > I applaud.

We developed a ranking system for the research I mentioned above. You can read about it in Section 2.2 of the paper at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.03235.pdf. I talk about in less details at https://youtu.be/lHbnvRwFC_A?t=16m58s. In a nutshell: we built a prediction model that aims to predict the number of pageviews the article would receive had it existed in the destination language where it's missing today. The higher this predicted number for a missing article in a language, the more important it is to create it.
