[13:38:43] <armalcolite>	 Hello!
[13:39:44] <armalcolite>	 I am a research student and I am trying to fetch some data using the API which seems to throw permissiondenied error
[13:40:55] <armalcolite>	 On some digging, I found I cannot get "alldeletedrevisions" using a normal query. For that matter I am trying to place a request for getting my account added in the "Research" usergroup.
[13:41:50] <armalcolite>	 I would really appreciate if anyone can provide leads on how to place a request to the moderators
[13:42:52] <armalcolite>	 (I am not quite familiar with the Wikipedia workflow, sorry.)
[14:44:57] <halfak>	 o/ armalcolite 
[14:46:00] <armalcolite>	 halfak: hi
[14:46:05] <halfak>	 armalcolite, the best way to get into the research group would be to apply for a formal collaboration with the research team.  This is a heavy process that involves nondisclosure agreements (private data), memorandum of understandings (that force you to publish open access), and a lot of paperwork. 
[14:46:22] <halfak>	 Usually, we have people fill out a description of their research project to start the process. 
[14:46:38] <halfak>	 See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:New_project
[14:46:56] <halfak>	 See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics for a good example. 
[14:47:30] <halfak>	 If you check out the discussion page for that study, I'm "EpochFail".  If you read there, you'll get a sense for the kinds of questions I'd ask and the kind of information we're looking for. 
[14:48:15] <armalcolite>	 halfak: apparently, someone on #mediawiki suggested that URL, and I was halfway through filling the project details
[14:48:26] <halfak>	 Oh great! 
[14:48:39] <halfak>	 if I could ask, why do you need deleted revisions?
[14:48:43] <halfak>	 And do you need text? 
[14:49:12] <armalcolite>	 actually I am a research student working on detecting "Hate speech in social media"
[14:49:27] <halfak>	 Ahh.  So you almost certainly need text then. 
[14:49:42] <armalcolite>	 and I am working with the recently released data by Wikimedia & Jigsaw team in the WWW'17 publication
[14:50:12] <armalcolite>	 Not really, currently I am working on accessing the amount of information that I can gather just by the meta information
[14:52:16] <halfak>	 armalcolite, we have a new antiharassment team.  I wonder if maybe your research could be in collaboration with them. 
[14:53:28] <hall1467>	 halfak: Hi Aaron, did the monthly item quality dataset finish getting generated over the weekend? Thanks
[14:53:37] <halfak>	 Oh good question.  Let me check
[14:54:01] <hall1467>	 Thanks
[14:56:40] <halfak>	 hall1467, still running
[14:56:44] <halfak>	 Checking on # of rows. 
[14:56:49] <halfak>	 I bet it's way above my estimates. 
[14:56:51] <halfak>	 We'll see. 
[14:57:08] <hall1467>	 Okay
[14:57:18] <hall1467>	 It'll be interesting how big it gets
[15:00:02] * halfak continues to wait on line counting
[15:02:17] <hall1467>	 Must be a pretty large number
[15:06:11] <halfak>	 Right. 
[15:06:26] <halfak>	 Still going.  I'm thinking we might hit one billion! :S
[15:07:08] <halfak>	 The max would be 2.4 billion if all 50M wikidata items were created on Jan 1st, 2013. 
[15:09:46] <hall1467>	 Okay, good to know the upper bound. 1 billion+ rows will be the biggest dataset I've ever worked with (in terms of row count) haha
[15:16:23] <halfak>	 ragesoss, I just saw that https://twitter.com/FixmeBot uses the ORES logo :D 
[15:16:26] <halfak>	 That's great :)
