[10:22:34] dsaez: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Which_parts_of_an_article_do_readers_read [14:47:41] Thanks HaeB [15:54:26] halfak: a few related questions for you... [15:54:27] have you ever, or would you want to, give a guest lecture about censorship and Wikipedia? [15:55:06] anyone else at WMF that comes to mind who might want to do so, in Chicago? [15:55:14] I haven't. I would be interested. I'd need to dig a bit to give a good lecture. What kind of thing do you have in mind? [15:55:21] and, have you read any of Ada Palmer's novels? [15:55:47] it's her class, and they are the best SF I've read in a while. [15:56:00] Oh. I haven't. Thanks for the recommendation. [15:56:15] Is this censorship as an abstract concept or censorship of Wikipedia by governments? [15:56:29] Also, why aren't you at the Wikimania hackathon :( [15:57:43] I'll forward you what I know about it. Palmer is teaching a class on censorship (and also does Wikipedia assignments) [15:57:57] OK sounds good ^_^ [15:58:17] I'm not there because of the combination of the carbon cost of flights and the logistics of childcare. [15:58:29] I do know some people in Chicago (Northwestern) who might be able to help :) [15:58:37] If I can't figure it out. [16:01:38] halfak: just emailed. We were thinking that this seems to be the kind of thing Katherine would do well with, but maybe not quite a big enough venue to pitch it to her. and you were the next person I thought of who would probably be able to do a compelling talk about this. [16:02:47] (being local is just a coincidence, as there's money to fly in speakers) [16:04:02] "the history of censorship, and specifically on how new innovations in information technology stimulate new innovations in censorship and information control. The goal is to look at parallels between how the dissemination of the printing press caused new censorship efforts in the 15th through 18th centuries, and the way the dissemination of digital media is doing so now. " [16:04:09] wow, I'd love to take that class! [16:11:09] Ooh. That sounds fun. [16:11:15] * halfak tries google scholar [16:16:47] no luck [16:17:13] I might forward on to Aaron Shaw who is at northwestern and has students looking at some somewhat related issues. [16:17:42] Either way, I'd love an excuse to visit chicago and talk to some students about what I think is interesting and cool :D [16:18:06] Flights from Minneapolis usually range around $50 these days O_O [19:50:31] o/ J-Mo [19:50:52] Just realized we have a meeting. But I'm at Wikimania, it's 10PM and I must sleep. [19:50:59] Cancel? [19:55:00] ohai! yes, let's meet next time. Sleep well! [20:00:10] thanks dude. [20:00:50] In the meantime, check out this user script I developed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EpochFail/ArticleQuality-loader.js [20:01:03] Add it to your commons.js on enwiki and then go to an article history page :) [20:01:32] I like to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ann_Bishop_(biologist)&action=history with # of revisions per page set to 500 [20:01:36] :) [20:02:45] * halfak runs away [20:02:47] o/ [20:03:22] good script [21:06:22] halfak sweeeet [21:11:16] oh that is so pretty. so much green once Keilana got going… [21:13:46] * Emufarmers tries
