[16:05:22] Hi all, showcase will be starting in 25 minutes [16:09:37] thanks [16:13:26] theme/abstracts: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase [16:14:47] "Medical knowledge on Wikipedia" [16:32:50] Live! ... if you have questions for the speakers, leave them here and I'll relay them during Q&A [16:46:39] i'm quite curious about this point that the quality of the article really depends on the particular audience. makes me wonder if it's a question of improving article quality and there are simple steps that could be taken for that or more trying to surface simple wiki as a potential alternative in the specific case of medical content [16:56:20] excellent talk; appreciate the reflection on depth of coverage, and now I am curious for her perspective on breadth of coverage -- did she notice reflections of data voids, content holes, biases in topical distribution, etc [16:58:58] +1 I want to hear the answer to this question too ^^ [17:08:19] my additional question for Denise if we have time is if copy-editing (which can be fairly difficult) is one of the more helpful things for improving the utility of medical articles, what are the simpler tasks that would also be useful? thinking towards the move towards mobile editing and what's easier to do in that smaller interface and without a detailed medical background [17:34:45] Thanks all, see you next month :) [17:48:56] hello! my name is sohyeon hwang and i'm a phd student working with aaron shaw over at Northwestern University. I'm working on a project that's looking across language editions of Wikipedia and was hoping I might be able to find an answer to/direction for a question about interlanguage links here. Would anyone happen to know if there's a good way to [17:48:57] extract that dates of *when* a page on some language edition X got an interlanguage link to a page on another language edition Y? [17:51:15] dsaez: ^^ [17:55:14] isaacj: thx [17:56:15] sohw, since 2015 (I will need to double check the exact date, could be a bit later) interlanguage links are managed (mainly) by Wikidata [17:57:36] so, after that date, editors links an article with Wikidata, and that interlanguage link is automatically added to all other languages. [17:58:38] sohw before, my understanding, is that ppl was adding those links manually language by language, and you will need to go the the dumps of each language, and search one by onee [17:59:24] if you are interested in the ones added in Wikidata, those are call "sitelinks" , and you can go the Wikidata dumps to see when they were added [18:00:33] that makes sense; i was assuming the latter (manual additions) still held. I didn't realize that an editor links an article with Wikidata now instead, thank you! [18:00:40] I'm interested in both the manual ones and the wikidata ones for now :) [18:01:52] for wikidata, you can have a look on the edit summaries, that is the lightest way that I had found to identify changes on Wikidata items without needing to read the full json element in each revision [18:02:42] in Wikidata each modification it is an edit, and the edit summary is generated automatically, so you might be able find which is the automatic tag added when people modifies sitelinks [18:03:07] for the previous ones, I think you need to go over the full history of each language [18:04:57] got it, thank you-- is it safe to assume this all holds true for pages in the wikipedia namespace (e.g. policy pages like WP:NOR)? [18:55:00] sohw, sorry, I was on a meeting. You mean the edit summary piece? [18:58:23] no worries dsaez, and yup! [19:01:42] no, I think that just applies for Wikidata. I think (you might double check) that edits summaries wont be super informative in other wikis. But anaylzing the dumps for this shouldn't be very expensive. You can adapt the following halfak's code to your needs: https://gist.github.com/halfak/e1ff31e48aaa69e3bd7d [20:07:13] got it, thank you again dsaez!
