Synopsis
Wikimedia is a global movement whose mission is to bring free educational content to the world, via Wikipedia and other projects.
The aim of the project is to Create Machine Learning datasets to measure content reliability on Wikipedia with the following objectives;
- Research, gather and process Wikipedia related data about articles content reliability.
- Detect crowd-generated tags or labels currently used by the Wikipedia editors and developers
- Signal problems with content integrity on Wikipedia to other editors.
- Characterize the content, select the most relevant ones.
- Create machine readable datasets that will allow ML systems to detect problematic content potentially automatically

About Me
I graduated from Akwa Ibom State University, Nigeria with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree in Computer Science.
My Open Source journey began this year during the Women of Open Source Africa (WOSCA) Launch Practical Session, I made my first open source contribution on github to the First Contributions repository. Then during Hacktoberfest, I successfully completed the Hacktoberfest Challenge by making 4 pull requests and I also made one of my repositories on github Open Source for other developers to contribute to.
I learnt Data Science first online by following courses an Dataquest and Datacamp. I also participated in the first cohort of She Code Africa's Mentoring Program (Data Science track) where I was assigned to a mentor who was a professional in the field and I was given weekly tasks and resources. I also write articles on my Medium blog.
I believe that these skills and knowledge will be valuable to this project.
