[19:48:44] <isaacj>	 hey ASHR I don't think you're still around but just in case, I don't have the answer for all your questions but subscribing to wiki-research-l is a good place for wiki-related research discussion (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l). it sounds like you already have some ideas in mind, so you might consider looking for related projects on meta or creating your own so others can see:

[21:59:07] <leila>	 dsaez: I thought you may be interested in https://cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/io/news/wikipedia-part-one . (As a side note: I don't know any of the authors personally, I think. It's good if we have a connection with at least one of them if you already don't have it.)
