[16:30:18] Research group meeting! [17:09:08] WikiProject Europe [17:09:15] * halfak tries to ctrl-f and fails [21:20:26] halfak: what about WikiProject Europe? [21:21:01] Nettrom, was discussing their citation practices (I think) or was it importance scale stuff? [21:21:30] * halfak is deep in model evaluation metric land and his brain is sort of still there. [21:23:45] I mentioned them during the RG meeting this morning because I yesterday asked them a question about their organizational/scope practices & decisions made probably something like 10 years ago [21:24:34] I noticed they’re organized very differently from WikiProject Africa, so I got curious [21:25:30] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Europe#Project_scope_and_organization [21:33:20] WikiProjects are organized very quickly because there has been, historically, no standard way to set up WikiProjects. [21:33:36] So everyone reinvented the wheel, which is economically wasteful. [21:33:45] hi, is neal sometimes around? (and if under different than obvious nick, which then?) thanks [21:34:13] *neil [21:41:35] Danny_B, neilpquinn? He's usually not on IRC AFAICT [21:41:56] thanks [21:53:48] halfak, Danny_B: I am here, I just don't usually say anything unless someone pings me :) [21:54:01] Oh! he is here :) [21:54:13] I should have looked at the list [21:54:16] Danny_B, I'll PM you [22:01:21] halfak: yep, I'm here lurking in the shadows. BTW, I did want to meet with you and get your advice about analyzing kowiki (as you suggested to Abbey) but I'm just so swamped preparing that I haven't been able to find time. Sorry :( [22:02:09] No worries. did she share the analytics prototype with you? That does a lot of the work. [22:10:52] halfak: do you mean https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/standard-metrics/#projects=kowiki/metrics=(Beta)%20Monthly%20Surviving%20New%20Editors ? [22:12:27] I'll have to check into that! although some of the numbers look a little questionable :) [22:13:19] agreed on that [22:13:22] Definitely weird
